Hello,
I am (freshly) 33 and I've been in bands since I was 14, writing my own music, usually in collaboration with other band members.
I am searching for guitarists, bassists, drummers (and possibly even keyboards) to play my songs with, and consequentially gig around London and at some point make records. I am singing my own stuff as I feel it natural, but open to eventually give the mic if it doesn't work out.
I am happy to team up with people that are keen on collaborating with the songwriting too (not mandatory).
I am not sure about what genre I play, I tend to do what sounds good to me without necessarily have bands/artists as a reference. I like music to give energy, humor, anger and maybe hope/happiness. I like stuff you can dance on it too.
My early background influences are "punk", like The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Lagwagon, including older ones like Damned, Sex Pistols, Clash, Adverts, Adolescents, Descendents and many more.
I definitely had a change in my artistic direction thanks to indie invasion (The Hives, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, White Lies and so on).
Today I listen to and admire various "classic" like Bowie, Alice Cooper, Depeche Mode, T.Rex, The Specials, Pixies, Police, Garbage and the always present Rolling Stones and Beatles. You might also find out some odd band/artist I like too.
If this whole situation doesn't sound too complicated for you and you happen to be in a situation that fit it, please contact me and I'll send you a demo of what I've been working on recently.
Crouch End, Stroud Green, Harringay, Hornsey, Highgate, Hampstead, Muswell Hill, Finsbury Park, Tufnell Park, Stoke Newington, Friern Barnet and surrounding areas are the best from my location to be able to rehears from home distance, or Old Street area if you work around there too.
Thank you,
Saro
