Hiya, my name is Rhys and I am another musician living in London.
I am in the midst of doing an EP in London, and have signed with an independent label (Animal Farm Records) to promote and distribute the singles.
I am trying to put together a band to play some live gigs in London and hopefully do a short tour around the UK in January.
I have now found all the right people for the band and I am desperately seeking a drummer to complete the lineup!
A bit about me:
I am an Australian lad, in my 20s and have moved over to East London to try and gain some more traction in the music industry (idealistic I know). I would consider myself pretty laid back, and fun loving, but also passionate about music. I like a pint, and enjoy making friends. I would hope that any band mates could also be friends as well. I have been playing for nearly 15 years now and writing songs for almost as long.
The music is very much inspired by Nick Drake/Syd Barrett/Nick Cave/Leonard Cohen, and draws heavily from Brit-Pop/60s/Country-Alt/Blues-Folk.
I am trying to draw heavily from acoustic influences that can have a slight popish sensibility to them, but with a few heavier bluesy numbers as well. I guess picture some mood-ish tracks, with some nice melodic hooks.
I am hoping that some exciting things should be afoot soon with how the reactions are to my recent singles. Gender and age is not an issue to me, I am more about not wanting big egos, and would like it to be an enjoyable friendly experience. Having live gigging experience is a must, and a drummer with nice 'feel' ideal.
Last point, while it is obviously while it is a 'solo' project; I hope to be collaborative in the process, and ideas about putting down what is on the records in a live format, and also open to any suggestions about instrumental parts or some covers as well.
The band is all ready and all we are seeking is a drummer to fill the missing piece!!!
