I've been thinking of how to get a band together forever. Finding people with similar music tastes to me isn't very easy. I only know one, and he doesn't own an instrument (he borrows somebody's bass though). I'm going to widen my search, to more of the South Bay. If I find one member (bassist, rythm guitarist, vocalist, drummer), I'll put up ads at Dietz Bros. (local music store/lessons place) to find the rest. I'm hoping to (if even on a very small scale) revive grunge around here. You'd be shocked at how many people haven't heard a single Pearl Jam song! It's so bad, somebody tries to tell me that the "Pumpkin Smashers" suck, no matter how many times I tell him it's "The Smashing Pumpkins" (except his friend told him that it's The Smashing Pumpkins...and then said they suck...then said that they actually don't suck and he likes them :lol:). Nirvana is just about the only grunge band known throughout the school. I'm probably the only one (maybe one other person) who knows who The Screaming Trees, The Pixies (pre-grunge), Sonic Youth (Noise Rock/Punk, not grunge but still bottom kicking), Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains (yes, it's so sad that only about five other people know SG and AiC). I considered getting my friend (who happens to be my producer/mixer as soon as we find time for recording) to play bass, but his music taste is borderline bad, and borderline good (likes great bands, but also like some crap). I could get him to play on "Where Is My Mind?", "I Am One", and maybe "Mayonaise", but he'd be of little use. I need a bassist like Jeff Ament or Flea. Flea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a rythm guitarist like Stone Gossard, I need a drummer like Matt Cameron, and a vocalist like...well, any grunge sound (Cornell, Vedder, Staley, Weiland (fine he's not completely grunge), etc.). That's asking for a little much though :P. It's not like I'm Hendrix, God (Clapton), or McCready myself, but I am your God, as you're a measly peasant. Wait, where was I........................................................................

........................................oh yeah. I'll really try now. Bye.

P.S. If anybody is ever near the South Bay (group of suburbs around L.A.) and you play something, let me know.
