I might be looking for someone who doesnt exist anymore, but anyway – here goes. I hope youre out there!
ME – based in docklands, east london. Pushing 60. very experienced guitar/vocals/songwriter who has been through the rock business treadmill and somehow survived without being too twisted and bitter (!) Guitar influences hendrix/iommi/gallagher/west/trower etc
YOU – live not TOO far from east london. Pushing 60 or above. Prefer rock/jazzy type drummers rather than double bass metal merchants – mitchell/baker/ward/palmer etc – stripped down kit played with passion and precision! Youve got gear and transport and a passion for old school rock
THE PLAN – form a tidy power trio in a heavy rock vein rather than metal (Cream/Hendrix/blind faith/TYA/Budgie etc) and hit the pub circuit playing 60’s/70’s songs outside the norm but still well known (definitely no ‘alright nows’ or ‘summer of 69’s’ etc – you get the picture!) - I have agents and gigs a plenty to be had. Looking to keep it low at first to get established – maybe go out for £160’s/170’s - £50 each and a bit of petrol money. Build it up as we go along. Start encorporating our own songs into the fray as we go along too until we have enough for an album and then record it, selling it at gigs and including some of the originals amongst the covers in our pub gigs. Build a following keep working, have fun and see what happens!
Im an easy kinda guy to get along with! Have a serious set list we can pick and choose from. Also have many originals written and recording that we could utilize, or write new ones. Just wanna get this going and get out there and make a racket!
Sound interesting? Get in touch!
