I’m a singer/guitarist/what-have-you looking to put together a band of musicians with experience in a wide range of musical disciplines who may or may not be trained or learn-ed, who make eclectic and energetic pop music and that have no fear of an experimental edge.
Here are some priorities for the band;
WRITE SOME MEMORABLE SONGS
MAKE PEOPLE DANCE
CREATIVITY OVER CASH(Although I believe in fair pay for all when we DO get paid!)
HAVE A WEEKLY SESSION IN WHICH WE IMPROVISE MATERIAL AND TRY OUT IDEAS
IMPROVISE SONGS AS WELL AS PLAY OUR WRITTEN MATERIAL
NOT BE SLAVES TO THE GIG-FINDING-GRIND
BUSK IN ADDITION TO GIGGING, AND GENERALLY LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE PLACES TO PLAY
NOT BE ADVERSED TO HAVING A THEATRICAL/ARTY SIDE
I’m open to all kinds of directions, and all band members should have a say in the creative process.
As a musician I have a diverse background in all kinds of genres of music, including Blues, Soul, Indie, Swing, Jazz, and others I’ve probably forgotten. See the links below for some of that. Here are a few genres that I particularly like;
SAMBA, SLIDE GUITAR, HIPHOP, GARAGE ROCK, SCREAMY INDIE, SWING, POST PUNK, VERY SUGARY POP
