easy now people,
looking to assemble or join a new, originals only band based in Leeds. not pigeonholed to one specific genre but encompasses a range of different vibes, energies and atmospheres that can create a cool band, with some bollocks, character and charisma. i sing, play bass, guitar, write lyrics, etc.
searching for a group already formed, or, starting something solid from scratch.
speaking to a dude from Leeds currently who is for up for experimenting with new sounds and genres to create something explosive, melodic and visceral. would be fun to make more committed people fit in with us.
not bothered about gender/genre, ages between 20-30 would be nice just to avoid hassle of promoters and venue licenses, image with the others and fit in general, I'm not ageist just know what works and what i think i want i think.

so as you can see, its very diverse and dynamic. not looking to create something too experimental to the point its messy and meaningless but enjoy the idea of progression and evolution in a band. after a wide range of people, good at their instruments, confident enough to play live, write tunes, keeps things fresh and organised,look good with an air of uniqueness, have a laugh, a pint, make things happen, sh*t on the sh*t. up for some interesting duo or a three piece with a ridiculous, wild energy and equally interesting allure.
seeking singers, multi-instrumentalists, drummers, guitar players with pedals to push, synth and keys wizards with knobs to turn. ooooooooo
seen a lot of adverts on here after whiskey wielding blues bands, pre-pubescent pop punk pimples and metal monsters, if you fancy something that hasn't been done before, looks like a post-punk ska-electro-pop 7890's noise band by the bands above (only some i might add) then feel free to get in touch and we can sort summat out.
big on bouncing ideas off other people, seeing what they're like, who they are, what theyre about and who theyre into: music, books, films, the works with some attitude, sense of image, spit and snarl.
so if you're after meeting, making a band that sounds like a magically melodic combo of 60's french garage rock, 70's german electro and spiritually physical, demonic gothic madness then hit me up!
god bless,
melody and violence essential.
