Can you open your heart to a fuzz-loving, ambitious and creative guitarist/bassist/vocalist who is currently without a band?
Likes include: heavy fuzz, big riffs, writing together, using parentheses and playing until your fingers bleed (literally). Dislikes: math rock and weird time signatures, jingle jangle indie music, bands with egotistical singers/being in someone’s backing band and The Kooks.
By adopting me, you get in return:
- A dedicated (nearly) 31 year old musician with 12… 13… 14… years… a decent amount of writing and gigging experience.
- A yes-man with no significant other commitments outside of the 9-5 who will take things seriously… Been asked to play a gig tomorrow night at the last minute? Count me in, do you need a lift?
- An unshakeable commitment to turning up on time to everything (aka: terrified of being late).
- Friends and contacts in the music scene in high places (if you can call Leeds, London, Liverpool and across the Midlands high places).
- Clean vocals, harsh vocals, shouty vocals and any other kind of vocals you might need.
- Dumb jokes.
- Snacks at band practice.
- Pedals.
Would suit existing band looking for a committed co-writer and contributor or new band looking to hit the ground running and gig/record/tour yesterday.
So if you’re looking for a new jam buddy, then look no further, because I might have just the person for you!
Tl;dr looking for fun but committed band for gigging, recording and touring. Into grunge, punk, stoner, doom, desert rock, riot grrrl, thrash and dirty blues. Would also consider weird comedy bands with a sense of humour (think Elvana, The Ogretones, Okilly Dokilly, Cage Against The Machine etc). Specifically looking for something where I can contribute to writing and vocals, not a band with a singer who just stands there and sings or anyone who isn’t open to sharing songwriting duties. People of a similar age (20s and 30s) and commitment level (very committed) preferred. Based in Derbyshire but have car, will travel for the right thing (Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire etc).
Say hi.
