I just went through some hard time and found that I am indeed a man. I have learned to vocalize my feelings and thoughts with a genuine voice. Through the scream therapy I've been undergoing, I've realized I have a real voice for the screamo crowd. I think I could really pull it off if I had some good musicians behind me. It almost feels like Satan is talking through me the way my voice bottoms out in its gravelly baritone when I hit the bottom notes. However, I want to sing serious stuff, like messages of a political nature but through stories of animated characters (anime too). I would like to venture into the realm of Skinny Puppy too, if that makes sense. The important thing is to really enjoy what we're doing at have fun, but say something. I don't have any equiptment or mics, but I do own a mic stand. I think I have a cable that might work if I don't shake it too much. I no a drummer who is recovering from a crack addiction, but he seems really bent on the recovery--so there is that. I am looking for a guitarist and bassist who can really experiment with all this and let me in turn experiment with my new found voice. I am gettin a raise soon from 10.00 an hour to 10.50, so I hope to be able to save up for a mic. I have weekly recovery meetings and a few doctors appointments a month, but I should be able to make 2 practices a week (hopefully). I can split a rental room, but my mom says she'll let me use her garage if I need to--so there is that. I have a girlfriend (on and off), who is semi-supportive, so I might be able to get rides to practice fairly regularly. I was going to answer the Toxic Rockers ad, but my brother won't let me borrow his friend's drums. I am really interested in this and can even do some artwork if we get to needing some grapfics. I once fell from a train into a marching band unloading from a road trip---I think that means something and I want to honor that experience. I hope this is reachin the right peeps, cause when my dad was alive he invented the seripentirial and he wanted me to kind-of find a nitch like that, but I think contruction and screaming might be it for me...but I feel good about it. So, since I only have access to my friends wifes computer (when she's not here), just reply and I'll get back to you asap.
