This is a Blackout! is interested in having you jam with us. We are primarily a rock band, meshing varying styles and kinda being all over the place. There are noticeable inspiration from bands like Headstones, The White Stripes, Sunfish, Tom Petty, The Ditchpigs, Foo Fighters, and Green Day in our existing tunes.

More specifically, we're looking for someone who:

-can show up for regular jam on Sundays (normally somewhere between 2-8pm)
-has their own gear (guitar, suitable amp)
-can play AND WRITE lead style guitar (with the odd solo)
-can learn fast and add their own flavor to the tunes
-fits well personality wise with the rest of the band (being laid back helps)
-is at least 19, but 25-35 probably fits better dynamically

Email us at thisisablackout@gmail.com or me specifically at jc.unite@gmail.com. I'll give ya teh low down on the tunes and a listen to some demos.

We have guitar and drums done for three of the tunes. We've got Cause and Effect still left to do, plus vocals for all tunes, back up vocals, and keys for Listen Up Children. Shit. We're not even near done.
