Hi my name is Tony Ray Pulaski and I am a Bluesman. I play a 1961 Fender Stratocaster which is all original and strung with .011's into an Ibanez tubescreamer which has been modified with a 4558 chip and all carbon comp resistors. I use a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier which was gutted and all the resistors were replaced with NOS allen bradley carbon comps. I play the real blues like my main man Stevie Ray Vaughan, in fact I have one of his guitar picks which I wear around my neck for mojo. I am currently engaged to an african-american woman from Arkansas and our experiences together (such as people whispering about us and the dirty looks we get at dinner) form the basis for my blues.
I need a bass player and a drummer to back me up in the studio and maybe for some gigs too. The bass player needs to have a Fender bass built BEFORE 1965 with no ceramic tone caps ( I will have my tech at auditions to open up and check) must use all tube amplifiers pre-1980, with an 8x10 cabinet and own transportation. The drummist needs to be familiar with all the various blues beats like the shuffle, the flat tire, the shug, the funky dunk, and the whap-a-dang. Please, no Sonar or Pearl kits!
I have written an album;s worth of songs "The Blues Are Falling Down On Me" "Cold Blue Rain" "I Got The Blues For My Baby" "Bluesman Blues". And need a back up band to help record it.
When applying for either position, please send a detailed description of your equipment (with photos) along with photos of yourself in gig clothing. After receiving that, I will call you to arrange an audition.
I got my mojo woiking and I hope yours is too!
This is how SWORDS started, except it was involving Kramers, and not "the blues".
Seriously.
