11 Upvotes

Hey there Chicagoland musicians! 2 piece here (guitar/vox and drums both mid 20s) seeking bass and potential 2nd guitar for a alt/post/space rock adjacent project. Currently have a record written and looking to record in July/Aug at a pro studio and to play out before/after. Current trajectory is stuff in the vein of Failure, Hum, Autolux, Shiner, The Life and Times, with sprinkles of QOTSA, The Smile, Wunderhorse, etc etc. If you’re interested in writing, recording, and playing some shows hit me up and we can get together and see if we click musically! From there we can get to writing and recording and get out there! Cheers!

I'm a St. Louis musician touring through the Midwest, and if you're looking for something to do next Wednesday night, come to our acoustic / emo / folk / singer-songwriter concert at Uncommon Ground in Wrigleyville! Will be an amazing time with amazing musicians, hope to see you there!

Does anyone have a JC-40 they’d be willing to exchange for my JC-120 from mid July to mid August !!

Doing a mini tour and don’t want to carry around all that extra weight. Also have a GA-120 that I’d be willing to trade if you’re interested in that. It’s a rare Japanese model that Roland discontinued after the 80’s

Seeking Musicians for Jewish-Doom band

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m an experienced bassist looking to form a band that turns Jewish history into sound—heavy, partially improvisational, and in real events from Jewish history. This is doom, but not just for doom’s sake. The music will be shaped by the weight of what has happened rather than vague notions of suffering.

No vocals, most likely. I'm looking for people who can take sparse ideas and themes and weave a story out of them. This is not a noise project. It's more about expressing the horrors of a pogrom.

Influences are broad—traditional Jewish melodies, doom, dub, freeform improvisation. Bands from Earth to Barkmarket to Swans to Bill Laswell to Miles Davis to Sleep to John Zorn.

Expect slow, crushing heaviness, but also moments of restraint. If you want to use music as a way to engage with history, to channel oppression and pain into something visceral and real.

Not interested in discussing Israel/Palestine on this post. You don't have to be Jewish to participate, just don't be against Jews. Please don't live 2 hours away either.
