seeking heavy sludge shoegazer metal GUITARISTS[views:3903][posts:31]__________________________________________ [Jul 6,2010 11:12pm - celestialgunner ""] seeking heavy sludge shoegazer metal GUITARISTS Bassist/Vocalist and Drummer forming heavy shoegazer metal type band. Seeking 2 Guitarists (might have atleast one already for this, but it's uncertain at this point), maybe a keyboard. For the time being, I've been playing guitar to flesh out ideas and material. We are tuned to B standard. Detuned mountain crushing landscape painting music. atmospheric and grooving. perhaps some electronic sounds as well. Influences include, but not limited to: Baroness, Coalesce, Crowbar, Deftones, Dredg, Intronaut, Irepress, Jesu, Kylesa, Massive Attack, Mogwai, Mouth of the Architect, Neurosis, Portishead, Rosetta, Squarepusher, Trap Them, Torche, etc... serious work ethic, sense of humor, achievement and accomplish, Play shows, record, hopefully get on a decent label, possible small tours; all goals of this band to be. I currently live in Milford, CT, but this band could possibly gravitate more towards Hartford or NY. contact Matt at mtstreit12@hotmail.com |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 6,2010 11:47pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i would do this if it was in MA and i could add more days to the week. but since that is not a reality.. good luck sir. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 7,2010 6:29am - blue ""] This excites me. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 8:01am - arilliusbm ""] Interesting but too far. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:25am - arktouros ""] this has serious potential, good luck. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:27am - Slag NLI ""] If you need electronics, I may know someone that specializes in soundscapes. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:32am - arilliusbm ""] although I do hope they ain't hipsters. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:40am - The_Rooster ""] Will someone please explain to me/give me examples of what exactly "shoegaze" is? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:41am - arilliusbm ""] Ride - Nowhere My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. Start with those classics. It's a term tossed around so loosely now. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 9:46am - arilliusbm ""] Eh fuck it. I'm starting a new type of music called Titgaze. I'd much rather gaze at tits than shoes. |

It's a term tossed around so loosely now. OK. I always wondered if MBV fell into that category. Funny, I just read a really great interview with one of the guys in a recording magazine I subscribe to. Loveless has like 25 vocal layers in spots, all basically singing the same exact thing. Crazy. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 10:07am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm not crazy about MBV. i listened to Loveless and didnt see what all the hub bub is about. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 10:10am - arilliusbm ""] you have to listen to it on drugs and your fanciest pair of shoes. the hubub is generally around the atmosphere and mixing of the sound. not sure if you noticed it, but listen to it again and you will see who the smashing pumpkins rip off. |

| _________________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 1:58pm - celestialgunner ""] hahaha "tit gaze" I love that. Tits are a big influence, big tits are an even bigger influence hahaha. thank you for all the feedback. I got a couple drummers and a couple guitarists that i'll be meeting up with hopefully soon. SLAG NLI i'd be interested in "soundscapes" please feel free to pass my email to yer friend, not sure where you're located but unfortunately I don't think this band will gravitate any further north of Hartford, CT. But for me distance doesn't matter as long as you find what you're looking for. Still looking for musicians to bring this to life, so I appreciate all and anyone who keeps an eye/ear out for it. thanks |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 3:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] how is listing your influences for starting a band considered name-dropping? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 3:21pm - brian_dc ""] thaaaaaaat's not name dropping |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 7:53pm - blessed offal nli ""] ill do it if we can just do the shoegaze without the metal. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 8:00pm - blessed offal nli ""] also, although your influences are good, i wouldnt call any of them shoegaze |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 7,2010 8:08pm - arilliusbm ""] I was gonna say.. Why weren't (m)any shoegaze bands listed? |
| ____________________________ [Jul 7,2010 10:39pm - Uh ""] I'd like to see how Squarepusher would be incorporated with the rest of that... anyways, I thought the whole wannabe-Isis trend already died. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2010 1:12pm - blessed_offal ""] make it sound like a beautiful machine and the first angelic process tape or GTFO |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 8,2010 2:54pm - AndrewBastard ""] im gonna start a Mike Shoemakergaze band. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2010 8:46pm - blessed_offal ""] shoes should do a duo with bobby, they can call it boobs and shoes... "hi, im shoes, and im sad... and im boobs, and im PISSED OFF" |
