Greetings, fellow musical-abled folk!
I'm really missing playing live and wanting to play with more people, I've got an itch which needs scratching and two fun yet ambitious ideas to help with it. First off, I'm based in Todmorden and have limited transport but work in Manchester so if the projects are either close to home or close to work, it should work fine for me. I play a fair few instruments but I'm happy to negotiate ideas and plans.
To start with, the first project I'm thinking of is a cover band within the classic rock and metal realms, nothing too completely out there but I would love to do some deep cuts of well known bands as well as crowd pleasers, just a good set of high energy and some emotional tracks too. I'm looking to be playing bass and, if we struggle with vocalists, would also be happy to take the reigns on for that. It would be fun to have a trio of musicians but definitely still would be good to try with two guitars, this of course can be sorted another time! I'm very much thinking a chaotic, experimental but tight bunch of madness... But yeah, that's the first idea!
The second is probably the more ambitious plan of the two, I'm hoping to get an outfit to do some heavier styles of metal with, potentially covers but mostly originals, I have a good amount of songs myself and would love to work with folks that have music they want to bring out too. Likely a style close to progressive metal and similar, think Devin Townsend, Opeth, Annihilator, Testament and similar artists to those. I'm hoping to be doing rhythm or rhythm/lead guitar with a second guitarist.
Happy to work with variances of the above stuff and look forward to hearing from the world!
