If you like these artists (or similar), you might be right for us.

We're an underground but growing band that writes twisted Pop often with a dark edge that sometimes veers into experimental. We mix the electronic and organic; SOUNDS are as important as SONGS.

We are currently two guitarists (electric and acoustic) using vintage effect pedals, a 5-string bassist and programmed beats. We need a keyboardist (who can play, not just program) who understands/likes what we're doing, wants to be a part of it, and add another dimension to the music with their talent. The goal is to bring our music to the next level both artistically and in exposure.

Your style should mesh with what we've already done as well as add something of your own. We like analog or analog-modeling synths and realistic instrument samples (like strings, piano, winds) as well as original creative sample-warping.

Some things you MUST have or be:

- Decent gear and knowledge of how to use it
- Ready to play LIVE as well as studio
- Better than beginner playing ability with a good ear
- Happy interpreting existing parts/sounds AND coming up with your own
- Reliability / Availability once or twice a week
- in the NYC area
