I've always wanted to start a band, so I wrote up an ad I plan to post on Craigslist and on any other site that may be relevant (if you know what those sites are, please let me know!)

I'm looking for any advice you have on the ad. Is it too long? Is it detailed enough? How would I shorten it enough to create a small poster that I could potentially post around town? Also, should I include my gender and/or age? Or any other advice...

I've wanted to do this for 10 years...so yeah, any advice would be great.

I'm purposely leaving out the information to include in the reply to the ad, as I don't want this to look like I'm placing an ad on here.

The ad:

Musicians wanted to start a new band!

I’m looking for musicians who are serious and willing to commit a potentially significant amount of time to a band with the goal of eventually making a demo and/or releasing an album.

Specifically, I’m looking for:

A lead guitarist/second lead vocalist* or back-up singer
A bassist/second lead vocalist* or back-up singer
A drumset player/percussionist

* by this I mean I’m looking to have two singers, similar to System of a Down where both sing solo and as a duet with me as the other lead vocalist. I would strongly prefer a guy for the second lead vocalist position.

Style of Music/Further Details:

I’m looking to combine electronic elements with live instruments. I would be in charge of the electronic side of things (for examples of my electronic work, check out: https://soundcloud.com/chesterlily88).
I am a classically trained composer and trumpet player that also plays guitar (rhythm/back-up) and would be one of the main vocalists. I would also operate any live electronic “instruments” using my laptop etc.
As stated before, I’m looking to fill up a standard quartet: 2 guitars/vocalists, bass, and drumset/percussion. If anyone can play more than one instrument (like I play trumpet, for example), that’s a definite plus as more instruments = more variety and keeping the band at 4 players = more money per person.
Everyone will get equal creative input in the writing of lyrics and music and in any other aspect of the band (performance, promotions etc.). In the event of a tie, my vote will act as a tie-breaker. Everyone will be paid equally as well—all earnings will be split by four.
For style of music/genre, consider the following bands: System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Jack of Jill, Aiden, Mindless Self Indulgence (How I Learned to Stop Giving a **** and Love Mindless Self Indulgence album), Angelspit (Krankhaus album), to name a few.
