Branching Out

So... as I hope all of you know, I write music. I love music. It's my favorite.

I'm finding that my music is getting bigger than me. By that, I mean that my songs are starting to need more than just my vocals and acoustic guitar.

So, I hit up Craigslist tonight. I found two postings in my little part of the world that seemed particularly interesting to me.

The first is for a "post-hardcore" band looking for bass and vocals. I sent them a message to see if I could sit in on a practice, meet the band, and give vocals a whirl. Could be sweet. I love bands like recent Haste the Day (which sounds like the other bands they pointed to... whether or not that's "post-hardcore" is beyond me), so that could be really cool.

The other message was to a guy who... if I didn't know better... I would think was me writing the post. A guitarist up for anything, just wanting to be in a band that makes music and performs it.

Gonna see if I can meet up with him and jam a bit. If things look good, a band may start with the two of us. Then we'd just need drums, bass, and fans.

Oh... and keys would be sweet.

I've got hype. I need a band. It's been far too long since I was last in one that wasn't a church worship band.
