Collaboration
The search for vocalists has begun. An ad in Creative Loafing. Networking on MySpace. And just reaching out to a freestyle rapper I know. Several responses so far, some interested, some not. The Loaf ad runs for two weeks.
Of the interested ones, the “Ghost” track is rising to the top. Uptempo, a little spooky. That is the one that was crying out for vocals.
Finding bandmates, and vocalists in particular, has got to be the hardest part of getting a band together. Not only is it just difficult to find people with the talent and experience to be in a band in the first place, but both music and personalities have got to click. Allowing a space to develop where everyone can get into the mood or the spirit of the band, actually contribute to making it real, that is the trick. This started as a solo thing, but it needs to be a band thing now.
