Musicians Seeking Bands and Vice Versa


fromevil@gmail.com in Nutley or wherever
Singer and drummer looking to complete band. We are looking for a guitarist (or 2) and a bassist to round out a newly formed metal project. I most recently sang in a band , From Evil , and he was in 2 signed bands. Metal with a power groove is what we are looking for. We are looking to jam with a few heavy people and see what happens. I have great contacts with venues and can get shows almost immediately. Check out my stuff at www.myspace.com/fromevil666. I am looking to take things to the next level...so no lazy smokers who are scared of getting their hands dirty to get the music out there...Any links to hear what you sound like would be great.

Singer/Vocalist ala Gregg Allman,Niel Fallon, Phil Anselmo WANTED Drums, bass, and guitar seek singer/vocalist. We write a groovy heavy sort of music that needs a soulful powerfully delivered vocal over the top of it.All input regarding arrangement or part of the song is automatically part of the song writing process.We're seeking a band member, not a fill in. We are the remnants of a band that had a draw of 30-60 people. We averaged two shows a month for over a year. We are starting a new project and are seeking someone with the drive and the time to be able to do what it takes to sustain something like that and to take it to the next level. No part timers please.
