LOCAL YOUNG ROCK BAND SEEKS BASS PLAYERHello. We are Bad Vintage. We are a young (high school and early college) local rock band comprised of a singer/guitar player and a drummer. We have been playing shows around Queens and Brooklyn but we lost our bass player recently so if you are a young bass player (if you can sing a little harmony that's a big plus) and you want to play some rock and roll, please reach out and let's talk.
Some things we love: the songwriting of the Rolling Stones, the style of Bowie, T-Rex/Bolan and English glam, the awesomeness of John Bonham and maybe a little old school Van Halen party vibe.
Wow. My kind of guys, obviously. I mean, c'mon -- if I was a little closer to my teenage years, I would have answered the above on the spot.
In any case, if anybody reading this is a bass player in both their neighborhood and demographic, you can get in touch with them via email at badvintagebandsearch@proton.me. And you can find out more about them over at instagram.com/bad_vintage_.
BTW -- I just heard from the guys; they sent me an audio clip of one of their original songs, which was terrific, and even better, a live video of them covering the Stones' "Miss You" at a bar around the corner from where I live (it's the smallest world in the world, right?). The short version is they look and sound like the kind of band you would have encountered at some Bowery dive in the early '70s (which, for reasons obvious to any longtime readers, is high praise in my book) and I'm now a total fan; as soon as I can figure out how to embed either clip, I'll post them and you can see and hear what I'm talking about.
Have I mentioned I love Forest Hills? 😎

And you have Raceway Park just up the block!
If this was the mid 1970's I'd ask them if they needed a manager?

Went to the Instagram -
Enjoyed the ripped jeans clip. Couldn't quite place the instrumental, perhaps someone has a better ear.
Departed Bass player sported a Hofner.
