It seems like I post something like this every couple of years, but here we go again! [Edit: And now I'll just update this one, since it's the same project.]
Hi, we're The End Times Spasm Band. You can find us by clicking here and navigating from there to videos, our Facebook page, etc.
Right now, we're looking for trumpet, clarinet, or violin to help us complete our sound.
You don't need to play as fast as Charlie Parker to fit in, but improvisation skills and some basic knowledge of harmony are a must. So long as you have good tone and intonation on your instrument, we can arrange around our collective shortcomings. We'll do some arranging of parts as a group, but you need to understand your instrument and be self-motivated when it comes to increasing your musical vocabulary.
We will be gigging heavily and fully intend to take the act on the road next spring and summer during IPFW breaks.
Here are some links that demonstrate our influences and the sound we want to work toward (while still doing our own thing): Jelly Roll Morton, Louis, Billie and Louis, Kid Ory, Dixieland Jug Blowers, Original Memphis Melody Boys, Jabbo Smith, Bix Beiderbecke, Sidney Bechet, Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, Red Nichols and Joe Venuti, Bessie Smith, Django, Ella and Stuff Smith, Cab Calloway, Milton Brown, Bob Wills, More Bob, Squirrel Nut Zippers with Andrew Bird, Hugh Laurie?
