teenage vocalist available with a small amount of live experience who is looking to get back into a band. I like a lot of music with some favourites being fleetwood mac, dire straits, the smiths, the kinks, the talking heads, blondie, linda ronstadt, iggy pop, neutral milk hotel, paul simon, pink floyd, the cure, the velvet underground, the animals, bob dylan, tom waits etc. On the modern end I like things like arctic monkeys, the last shadow puppets, the decemberists, most britpop, arcade fire, the strokes, radiohead, courtney barnett, the war on drugs, first aid kit, weezer, the yeah yeah yeahs, fiona apple, chvrches - and I love Jenny lewis. I have a good knowledge of most contemporary pop rock/indie rock as well as mainstream classic rock staples, while both blues and folk are things that I enjoy but am still discovering (anyone with good taste in folk/blues rock would be a plus!) I'd prefer to play with people whose taste spans many decades and enjoys modern indie rock as well as older classics. Covers or originals, any style except metal. I have no formal training in anything but I work hard and will bring varied musical influences and knowledge of classical theory and I'm happy to attempt any style but metal...
I learnt to play piano by playing improvised versions over the chords to Lou Reed songs on an acoustic piano but I'm comfortable playing keyboards in electronic projects too - and I can easily learn most electronic keyboard riffs by ear. My guitar playing is only suitable for rhythm guitar parts, and I can play bass if needed but don't expect any virtuoso playing from me - keyboard/vocals are my element. My range is average and growing all the time but I focus on passion and style over that. I'd prefer to play with other teenagers and start with smaller gigs.
I have a parent in Louth and one in Lincoln so anywhere reasonable to get a bus to from either of those places I'm happy to practice
