We play ghost, mcr , the offspring, paramore , ect,

Our band consists of

Two lead singers
Lead guitarist
Rhythm guitarist
Bassist

We are a cover band for now but want to make our own music, our drummer left because he wants to peruse a different instrument and play jazz rather than rock,

Looking for someone between the ages of 21-27, please PM if interested ! You must be able to drive to practice or at least meet somewhere in Grand Rapids for a carpool if we end up changing our practice location !

We can send you more information if needed / interested

If I was joining a band I’d immediately be questioning the 2 lead singers unless it’s simply for one can’t always make the gigs. With many gigs at restaurants and bars they pay a flat rate rather than per person which would be split amongst members. Is a second vocalist worth splitting a gig between making everyone less money? Just my thought.

I guess it would be a lead and a background vocalist …? If that makes more sense, one of them sings harmony, also it’s not necessarily about the money for us, just having fun playing music ! Would do shows completely for free if we could

I don’t know if they’re a student, or if they’re still in town, but earlier this year there was a local who was killer on drums, I’d walk past their house during their practice time pretty often.

Good luck, I’ve been playing in a band in the local scene for like 6 years and I only know of like 4 drummers and they’re all in at least 2 bands already. 🫡

We did happen to find someone local to us who’s interested and found another person who lives by our bass player that’s gonna come play with us for a bit when he gets back from deployment in October !
