Hey ,
I’m a 40 year old (but mentally I’m still 25/30 and plan to stay that way) guitarist (mainly rhythm but can do some lead) , and I can also do bass and very very basic backing vocals . I can also hold a very basic drum beat.
Like most people my age I have commitments and work, but also truly miss being in a band .
So it’s about time me and others in the same situation do something about it …
Here’s the thing - being in a band , jamming every week once maybe twice , and gigging monthly just isn’t dooable for me …. And I’m sure others feel the same but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a hell of a good time being in a band right ?
So who’s up for it -
Some flexible online writing together
Monthly jam night in the studio
Jamming out some covers
Writing together
Maybe gig every now and then down the line .
Nothing has to be set in stone - just a mutual goal of having fun and perhaps sharing that with others but on our own terms .
My influences are
Linkin Park , RATM, korn, TOOL, soil , tessaract , bmth , LIMP BIZKIT , foo fighters , and more … I’d say progressive nu metal would be a good name tag but don’t like to pigeon hole it .
So any other people down?
Thinking another guitarist ,
Vocals (clean and vocal fry or dirty would be great but we could get more than one vocalist so it’s less pressure on the pipes )
Bass
Drums
And maybe synth / desk wizard ??
A good way to do it would be everyone picks one song for us all to learn to give us a base to play from and then take it from there .
Location wise the sj rehearsal room in Lichfield is ideal because their prices are good, the drums are ready to go , and they don’t charge for set up and take down time - it’s flexible . But I’m open to others
