The Ad Title is pretty self-explanatory, however, let me divulge further.
We are a couple of individuals who get together at a Rehearsal Room in Manchester to bash out a few tunes. We would very much like to add other interested individuals to our (currently very) little collective.
We currently employ a very laid-back approach to jamming: we communicate via the power of email tunes that we think would be fun to play, then meet up and try and bash a tune out. So far, the repertoire consists of tunes by Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura, the Smiths, Arcade Fire and James, which hopefully gives you some indication that Thrash Metal is probably not our strongest point of reference.
In terms of future progression, I don't anticipate Michael Eavis will be knocking on with his chequebook anytime soon. However, we are happy to expand the repertoire of covers (therefore, suggestions from other band members would be welcome). Additionally/Alternatively, we are open to writing original indie/ pop/folk tunes with a view to getting out playing gigs at some point. I've got a few songs written that I'm personally quite keen to have a go at in the future and other songwriters are obviously welcome too.
As just a Guitarist and Violinist, we obviously have lots of space to fill with other musicians. Therefore, we are keen to hear from anyone who wants to have a jam, regardless of what instruments you play. Obviously, a Bassist, Drummer, Singer, (also Keyboardist & Guitarist if that's not too greedy!) would be really useful. However, as stated above, it would be cool to jam with other instruments that don't fit in with the archetypal 2 Guitar, Bass, Drum band combo.
So if any of the above does interest you and you fancy bringing your Bass/Drums/Cello/Maracas for a jam then please drop me an email.
Cheers - MATT
