Multi-instrummentalist (Drummer / Guitarist) looking to form experimental indie alternative rock band with a hint of angst, jazzy grunge, electronica, hip-hop and a blend of jam-band blues mojo. To perform / record mostly unique original material & some covers; think Tom Waits meets Radiohead, Beck The Pixies, My Morning Jacket, The Allman Brothers, Neil Young, The Kinks, ect. Experienced Apple multi-track computer recording collaboration savvy.
Multi-instrumentalist seeking similarly influenced: Yeah that's me. I do it for fun. I can play drums, (light & loose, jazzy, funky or tight & heavy) guitar, bass and keys...you name it. I can sing too. What can you do?
I'm no spring chicken at 37, and I'll drink your mom under the table and make her write bad checks! I'm no pretty boy; I'm balding, fat, and have a hairy back to boot. So what? Chicks dig it. No, Seriously...
Looking for people with similar influences; like-minded (and talanted) artists who want to try to get something going. We'll need a place to jam, as my house is still under construction. I have drums, guitars, a few amps, some mics and some other crappy gear. I'm learning digital recording, and am dangerous enough at it to know that I need to invest more time and money in real studio sessions. LoFi Digital home recording to me is like a sketch book.
Below are some links; they don't show what I can do best, which is jam my ass off.
MaciDol site: (Recorded mostly in my FEMA trailer) Something for everyone here:

My old band: Poor Luther's Bones; (like a Psychedellic Tom Waits on Acid). I played drums and co-wrote songs.

Listen to these tracks:
RAY'S GOOD DAY.MP3
DR.SLINKY.MP3
Any rate; my goal is to record new material every year; enough to make an entire album of decent stuff, produce the album and do a vanity press run. I'd like to play a few gigs a month in and around New Orleans or close by, (earn enough to fund more recording?) I like playing live gigs too, but within reason....I still have a life, so no touring the entire country (been there, done that), unless something REALLY takes off...but I digress.
