Attitude

I am the Original Lead Vocalist, Brian, from the MPLS. based 80's and 90's Metal/Classic Rock/ Rock cover band Sunset Strip with agent connections, looking to recruit new Sunset Strip band member line up to play the local MN bar scene on 1 or 2 weekends out of the month or depending on everybody's work and family schedule. Looking for no ego minded players, that don't want to give up their day job, family, friends, or have dreams of suddenly becoming a rockstar. I'm looking for lifetime rockers that just want to go out there and have fun while jamming with other musicians, if you know what I mean!!! So, with that said, I am Looking to start up a 5 or 6 piece high energy hard rock band with a lead vocalist, backing vocals, 2 lead/rhythm/acoustic guitar players, bass, drums, keyboards and possibly a saxophone player if I can find one. I guarantee, with the right players, this will be a great hard rock, classic rock, progressive metal band, to be reckon with!!!! I've come up with, what I think will be an amazing cover song playlist. I strongly look forward in hearing from all of you great players out there, with the same vision in mind....
