Hello all - I have tried this before, figured I would give it a go again.

I am looking to start a surf/instro band in the Western Connecticut, New York Metro area. Have my own gear and ready to play. Been playing guitar for 17 years.. surf/instro for the past 3-4 years. Looking to play modern style stuff.. Madeira, Slacktone, Ghastly Ones, Laika, with some nods to the traditional sound.

Any interest, please get in touch!

Thanks Dick! Peekskill is pretty close. Actually.. I grew up in Yorktown which borders Peekskill. My parents still live there to this day. I will contact the guy and give it a go. Thanks for the find!

Good Luck, Matt. Pay it forward - looks like we need to cultivate some bassists with a thirst for Surf around CT!

Scary use of all caps in his post. I get the feeling he plays loud and may be hard of hearing.
Good luck Matt! Let us know how it goes.

That might be, Ferenc... I contacted him and he just wants a bass and drums.. and "maybe" he'll add other instruments later. I offered bringing in a bass player and never heard another word. So that suggests to me that he has Dick Dale/Link Wray aspirations - known by some as L.G.S.S. - Lone Guitar Slinger Syndrome.

Matt.. politely, respectfully. you aren't going to get very far in your endeavors if you can't or won't move your tail to travel out of town/state.

Looks like I have to move to CT to play this kind of instro music.

I have a thirst to play with a little "been there, done that" syndrome.

And if I can just get a jobbie-job on first shift.......

What day is Surf Rock's birthday? Looks like Surf Rock and I was born the same year. Maybe we are both Libras?
