I'm currently in the startup phase of a band, got a guitarist, drummer (me, can tell by the name), and a... piano player. I wanna go in a Straylight Run/Jack's Mannequin direction, and I'm not sure how to put that into a simple genre. Also, I have no idea where to start. We both have a few things put together, and seeing as there's only one day before the session, what should I really have ready? As in, what can a drummer have ready for a piano player? Latin/Jazz beats, or just something random pulled out of my ***? It's hard having piano lead up there with guitar, so I'm wondering what your guy's thoughts are, and if you can, if this isn't the right forum, point me in the right direction.

If you're trying to be like Straylight Run, I recommend not doing that. If you want to listen to songs in which piano is used well in a rock format, listen to Thrice's new CD Vheissu (particularly the song "For Miles") and some Mars Volta.
