ABOUT

Putting a band together.

We'll be doing covers with the goal of playing occasional live gigs in the Ottawa area.

Music style will be recognizable rock, pop and even accessible punk that an audience will already be familiar with, though perhaps with a twist, and maybe a few oddballs thrown in.

Looking for singer first. Female or male, but must be comfortable with fluidity, i.e. female singing originally male vocalist songs, or vice versa.

Critical: no ego or attitude. The key is to have fun and make some music together.

Live performance experience is nice to have but not mandatory. I don't have a lot of live experience and I'm ok figuring this out as I go long if others are as well.
