I am a 50+ bassist and/or guitarist (not a shredder though) looking to join a covers band or a new band/musicians/project with similar musical tastes writing their own material. Happy to consider regular gigging bands or, simply playing for fun if the music is great, and see where it goes from there. Preferred age group 35 - 65 but I'm not bothered if you're not!
In addition to playing many live gigs down the years, I also have some reasonable recording and engineering skills too, eg midi programming, some basic keys, DAW VST workflow setup knowledge etc etc. So I'd be happy to get involved in a small studio project setup with another musician(s) with similar genre tastes
I have played in many bands since my mid-teens, including original material, covers bands and even pub/function duos.
Ideally, Iām looking to play up-tempo new wave, post punk, power pop, alt/indie, most rock genres (not metal or prog though) and obscure bands from John Peel from the late 70s to late 80s.
I'm pretty flexible, so as long as the songs are good then I'm happy to cover most upbeat genres. As I say, I would consider either a bassist or guitarist role as I've played both to a good standard at live venues in the past.
Also enjoy playing post 1990 guitar bands too eg Killers, Garbage, Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Stereophonics, Green Day + many more!
I have good pro gear for gigging, a small well equipped home studio and own transport. I'm reliable, available and willing to learn songs quickly. I should get back up to speed pretty quickly!!
If you think I might fit in with your set up or want more info, just message back. It would be helpful if you could include some background on your band, your current set list (if you have one), or an idea of songs you want to play. By all means send me links to your music/videos etc.
Look forward to hearing from you.
