Experienced guitarist with vocals seeks a lead vocalist / songwriter, male or female aged 21-35 to write music together around the genres of grunge, punk, rock and indie, and then form a full band later on once foundations are in place and time is right.
I am committed to one band which from next year is slowly going part time due to individual member commitments. Due to this I am keeping my options open for something potentially new to invest my knowledge & experience in I have gained over the years.
The ideal person I am after must have:
-At least some live experience
-A passion for writing your own lyrics / music
-A natural lead vocal ability
-A desire to constantly improve stage presence as a band and individually over time.
-An awesome personality and attitude, (fearless onstage and humble and approachable offstage) - this is just as important as your ability if not more. A good sense of humour is a bonus. Being an approachable musician goes a long way, trust me...
-A desire to push the band hard and be committed, yet understand the importance of not burning yourself out.
-an understanding of the importance of self advertising / networking online and offline, and be willing to put your equal input into this and eventually take a lead role and delegate to other band members.
A little about me:
I am male, aged 30, I mainly play guitar and sing, I started out on bass and can play basic drums. I drive and have all gear needed to professionally gig. I also have a PA. I have performed across England as well as local. I have ran and promoted events as well as performing. I have been active in the underground scene properley since 2011. I was in cover / function bands prior.
I have too many influences but to name a few: Nirvana, Motorhead, ACDC, Sex Pistols, Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, Airborne, Green Day, Heavens Basement, Alice In Chains, Dinasour Pileup, Highly Suspect, Halestorm, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath...
I'm looking to write and perform mostly original material but I also don't mind the odd covers mixed in.
As stated above I would first prefer to find the right person to front the band and lay the foundations / write songs together first and then when the time is right complete the lineup. I'm after the classic lineup (drummer, bassist, guitarist, vocals)
Please only get in touch if you are seriously interested and meet the above criteria. The project starts as and when I find the right person. Apologies for the long read, I just wanted to put all the info on the table.
Cheers for your time.
