Me: electric cowbell player. I'm not a virtuoso but I know how to
ROCK. I have written 3 songs but I've played on a lot of tracks
before. I need a backing band to support my original material.

You: pro musician, touring experience, pro gear, have your own
transportation, live near me, no druggies. Must have songwriting
ability, but you have to play my songs anyway. Must not be able to
read music, because I can't, and that would just embarass me. Must be
cool, meaning you like me and will do what I tell you. Must be into
spending every waking moment rehearsing my songs, or taking a smoke
break, or going out to eat together. Practicing on your own and then
rehearsing only twice a week is unacceptable. I expect you to sit
around patiently while I figure out my parts and make mistakes over
and over again because that's how real musicians work. TEAMWORK!!! You
must be DEDICATED, living off of a trust fund so you don't have to
work to pay the rent, or at least, you're unskilled in any trade so
your job is really shitty = KEEPIN' IT REAL!!!! You must not be in any
other bands or expect to make money from music. NO MERCENARIES! But
still be a pro! UNDISCOVERED ROCK STARS ONLY. Someday we'll be totally
rich. Until then, you work for the Love of Music... Cowbell music.

Influences: Spooge Monkeys, The Craptacklers, Cheese Fingers, Dingle
Train, Woodlock Oil Experience. If you've never heard of these bands
before, you're a loser. Don't contact me.

I have a video of some studio work from earlier in my career here:

P.S. Why is it so damn hard to find real musicians on Craigslist?
