I am a 34 year old bass player who has been without a band for over a year and things are getting a little boring around here!
Been playing since I was 17 and constantly gigging, recording and touring up until recently. I am utterly reliable in terms of turning up to practice, communicating and learning songs.
I have a 9-5 job working in central London, living in East London and financially solvent. I like to have a drink occasionally, otherwise I am vice free.
From a bass playing perspective I am somewhat of a technical player, I play fast, hard and jump up and down. My biggest bass playing influences being Brian J Robinson of A Wilhelm Scream and Geddy Lee of Rush. I can also perform limited backing vocals, both clean and dirty style. I have good well maintained equipment.
Ultimately I would like to join a melodic punk band, though I am not against genres that are very close to this such as Hardcore. As long as I can scratch my creative and technical itch then I am happy! Influences I am looking for in a band are helpfully listed in handy dandy alphabetical order below.
A Wilhelm Scream, AFI, Architects, At the Drive In, Atlas Losing Grip, Converge, Crime In Stereo, The Decline, Defeater, Descendents, Face to Face, The Fall of Troy, The Flatliners, Fugazi, The Fullblast, I am the Avalanche, The Lawrence Arms, Letlive, Living with Lions, The Loved Ones, Mars Volta, Madball, Millencolin, Much the Same, No Trigger, NOFX, Nothings Carved in Stone, Only Crime, Propagandhi, Prophets of Rage, Rage Against the Machine, Ruiner, Satanic Surfers, Sick of it all, Smoke or Fire, Sparta, Strike Anywhere, This is a Standoff, Thrice and Touche Amore.
If your band has anything to do with the above influences and I sound like someone you would like to work with then hit me up with an E-mail!
I am available for gigging at any time during the week, though sadly I am not available for regular practices on a weekend, so weekday practices are essential.
