1. Have you ever played in a band that performed original material? If no, then stop. We’re probably not musically compatible.
2. Name ten bands that have influenced the music you’ve played/written in original bands, in no particular order. For example, mine might be:
The Beatles
Bauhaus
Black Sabbath
The Cure
Lou Reed or maybe more like Iggy Pop
Elvis Costello
Jonathan Richmond
David Bowie
Black Flag
Bob Dylan
If you don’t match at least three of these, stop. We’re probably not compatible.
3. Name at least 3 bands not listed above whose style you’ve considered, but never had the opportunity. For example, mine probably would be:
X, Yes, Blondie, the Damned
If you don’t like at least one of these, stop.
3. On a scale of 1 to 10, how important are the lyrics of an original song you’re performing? If less than 6, stop. We’re definitely not compatible musically.
Not surprisingly, we are musically compatible on all counts
