Experimental/Progressive Electronic-Industrial-Metal-Rock-Trance-Breakbeat-DrumNBass

Figured I'd post this here too since I know some of you are into more than just EDM.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the long title but I haven't come up with a good name for the sound I am going for.

I'm currently residing in Texas, and I'm fairly open to working with others online, I would like to perform live in a year or so, so the closer to the D/FW Metroplex the better

So, here we go, my dream band:

Basically I'd like to combine my favorite types of music all into one, making a seamless "mix" of several songs together for any given show or album.

What are these types of music?

Well I will list lots of influences below, but the sound I'm going for could be broken down as a combination of the following bands:

The New Deal - Zeromancer - Nine Inch Nails - In Flames - Freeland - Hybrid - )EIB(

Google em if you haven't heard, but that basically amounts to Experimental/Progressive Electronic-Industrial-Metal-Rock-Trance-Breakbeat-DrumNBass.

A little about me:
I am 25 years old, living in Flower Mound, TX (near D/FW airport).
I've been involved in music and computers for the majority of my life.
I aim to play bass and do lead and/or backup vocals for this project on top of all production and programming. I played bass for 4 years when I was younger, I just picked it back up about 3 months ago, but I am serious about it and play 6+ hours a day almost every day.
I have 9 years of experience as a DJ, 11 years producing electronic music as well (mostly software based but I can make any hardware work with me).
I have the know-how to get the sounds I want, what I really lack is others to work on this project with me.
I envision this eventually being a sort of electronic "orchestra", I'd like to get as many live instruments as possible whenever possible.

Here's what I am really looking for at the moment:

A Human Drum-machine (drummer)
Rhythym & Lead guitarists
Female vocalist
another male vocalist

I'd also like to have at some point:
Violin/Cello/Viola player, some sort of stringed instrument played with a bow.
An accomplished pianist/keyboard player
Saxophone or possibly trumpet/trombone player

It's hard to get across the idea of the sound I'm going for to some people but I would say the closest thing I know of would be The New Deal, but with a heavier sound, vocals (singing & screaming/growling), and more breakbeats.

Honestly I have trouble finding people that would even be down for doing just an industrial or electronic metal group, seems everyone wants to be emo or punk these days. So I am open to people of all ages and skill levels as long as they are willing to devote the time and commit to getting things accomplished.

I posted this on multiple forums so email is the best way to get back to me.
Anyone interested or that has any questions can email me @ chillbeast@gmail.com

Here's some of my influences:

(Bands that sound something like what I am going for or have alot of elements that I want to include in my project)

Zeromancer, Nine Inch Nails, The New Deal, Professional Murder Music, God Lives Underwater, Gravity Kills, PiG, KMFDM, In Flames, Slayer, Freeland, Grayarea, She Wants Revenge, Kidneythieves, Manson, Rob Zombie, Pendulum, )EIB(, Bloodhound Gang, Prick, Orgy, Stabbing Westward, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Orbital, Portishead, Morcheeba, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Christopher Lawrence, Luke Chable, NuBreed

(Other bands I enjoy but aren't as close to what I'm going for)

Pink Floyd, David Bowie, DMB, Muse, Foo Fighters, Boy Sets Fire... there's a ton more but I can't think of anymore at the moment.... suffice to say I appreciate music of all kinds and would like to touch on nearly every genre in some form or fashion.

Also if anyone knows of any other bands that are doing anything similar to this ( i've heard the term "livetronica" coined before in reference to The New Deal) I'd love to hear about em.

Thanks for your time!

badass, thanks for the list. Gives me a bunch of new stuff to rock out too.

You guys for sure are in the same direction I'm thinking. Let me know if you ever need a bass player to jam with, It'd be awesome to work with ya'll some. I'll send ya a myspace friend request when I go home, can't do any kind of myspace messaging from work.

And yea I'm still pretty rusty on bass but I play all the damn time and get better everyday
