I'm looking for people to jam or gig with, particularly a drummer and a vocalist. That can be super casual or more focused if you want.
I've been playing guitar for over a decade and recently picked up bass, but I haven't played in a band before (haven't had the time). Happy to play rhythm, lead, acoustic, bass, and sing backup/harmonies (maybe not all at the same time).
I have broad taste so I'm up for trying anything from folk duos to rap. I'm most interested in making a kinda fusion of Dilla-style beats with some electronica and guitar solos over the top.
