What Band Does This CL Ad Belong To?

[smogg]

Yep...and another:

Punk trio seeks new guitarist with broader sonic palette, so that we can get past this 3-chords bollocks, and perhaps conquer America. Must be willing to subvert ego to that of bassist/lead vocalist, who happens to write some really good songs.

The Police?

 

[smogg]

Snoop.

How about-

"Bored with Art College? Experimental music performance outfit into recreational substances and groovy, far-out light shows seeks new guitarist to conquer the world at large and make the longest charting LP of all time. Please be especially proficient on your instrument and be able to get along with morose BL with father abandonment issues."

Pink Floyd?

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Guitarist/songwriter looking to start a metal band after being kicked out of my last one for supposed anger problems stemming from drug and alcohol abuse... whatever. Those guys are the biggest bunch of hypocrites out there. They're gonna be nothing without me.

 

[bassfran]

Pink Floyd?

Bingo.

Or,

"Hard-edged, unconventional rock combo seeks female singer/model/actress for parties/recording/films. Cool, great-looking applicants only considered. No bread, but you'll have plenty of free drugs and a place to crash in the city. Hip scenesters only, man."

Motorhead?

 

[jive1]

Banjo player and percussionist who uses a modified Casio keyboard seeks a virtuoso bassist to play experimental Bluegrass music. Must be able to tap, slap, pop, detune, play harmonics, and basically push the limits of the instrument. Beginners and weekend warriors need not apply.

[mixtapelove]

Jazz fusion combo looking for talented but extremely arrogant electric bassist. Must not be annoyed with keyboard player doubling most of your lines with left hand on Mini-Moog. Fretless players OK.

[Big Brother]

Seeking some bass and rhythms for a few Guthrie-inspired songs. Steady coffee house gigs all around Greenwich. On second thought never-mind, I got this.
