Looking for like minded lads or lasses to start an original band. I don't want to do covers, I want to write original songs as a band where everyone brings their own ideas to the table.
I play bass and I have been in bands before over the years, writing own songs as a band and want to start another one up.
I'm in my 30s, but I don't really care about how old you are, so long as you want to get into a band writing original material. The Stranglers drummer was 36 when he joined them.
Bands I'm into:
The Chameleons, Protomartyr, TV Priest, The Fall, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cribs, New Order, Cocteau Twins, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Stranglers, The Cure, Bambara, Echo and the Bunnymen, British Sea Power, Felt, Idles, Franz Ferdinand, Rats on Rafts, Nadine Shah, etc I could go on think you get the picture. Into post punk, new wave, indie type stuff.
I'm looking for a:
Guitarist - but not just someone who plays only bar chords, think more outside the box.
Drummer - don't want someone who does fills all over the shop and definitely don't want someone who does fills all over the shop at gigs to show off.
Singer / vocalist - don't want a crooner.
If you play keyboards maybe get in touch too, so long as you aren't a Jools Holland type.
I play bass but don't mind if another bassist wants to do something either. The Fall had 2 bassists for a while a few years ago did some really cool songs.
I drive and can travel.
I don't care if you've never played in a band before so long as you've got ideas and your own equipment.
Oh and I'm a lass, suppose you can tell by my influences how I play bass, heavy handed, with a plectrum. If you don't think lasses should play bass, then don't bother getting in touch
