My name is Ivan (drummer), and my friend is Butch (singer, guitar player, and songwriter). We are looking to put together an original band project and are currently seeking a bass player, lead guitar player, and possibly a keyboard player interested in playing alternative type rock. A little about us and what we are looking for in band members: Butch and I have lived in Tampa all our lives and have played thousands of gigs throughout Florida, as well as Chicago, Atlanta, New York, St Louis, Nashville, North Carolina, and New Jersey, as well as 2 tours in the Uk. Some of our influences include The Cult, The Pixies, Foo Fighters, The Joy Formidable, Interpol, the Smiths, Jack White, Garbage, Muse, Social Distortion, The Replacements, and Nirvana, to name a few. Some of my favorite drummers are Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, and Garvin Harrison. We are interested in band members that are easy to get along with, reliable, have an intermediate skill level, as well as have prior experience playing live, which would be a plus. Once we get the music down, we'll probably play roughly 8 all original gigs the first year. If this is a project that you would be interested in, or if you have any questions, you can contact me at or Butch at Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you, Ivan
