I'm 22 and have played Guitar for 14 years. A decent bit of live experience. Pubs/open nights sort of thing.
Recently moved up to Liverpool and am looking to put a band together to play live shows for fun and for beer money. Just a bit of a laugh really. Maybe make something more out of it, who knows.
I'm in full time employment but because of the nature of my job I'm free all day pretty much 15 days a month and readily available to jam/play.
I want to do this properly, not just being another cover band awkwardly plodding through Don't Look back in Anger, unpracticed, sounding pretty dire. So, ideally, bandmates who understand what I mean by Valve amps mic'd up with SM57s, on stage monitors, DI boxes...
My record collection is a bit eclectic. Primarily lean towards Rock/Blues/Britpop/Northern Soul/Classical/electronic/Irish Folk/Punk Rock/Folk Rock from all eras.
Favourite band is Oasis.

The imgur link below is a screenshot of a load of songs off the top of my head that I've played live and really enjoyed doing so, or haven't had a chance to yet and would like to get a chance to play live. Just a bit of a glimpse into the sort of thing I'm looking to do with a new band.
