Hi I am Andy and I am looking to put together a London based Indie band so I am initially looking for a bass player and drummer.
I am influenced by The Beatles, Primal Scream, Super Furry Animals, Nirvana, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, David Bowie, The White Stripes, The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age but I am looking to work on original songs that I have written, that doesn't mean I am not open to song submissions from anyone else as I like the collaborative process involved with creating songs.
I'm not looking for virtuosos (it's an indie band, not Dream Theater!)
People who are easy to get along with (I'm laid back)
no egos – someone who can serve the song not themselves
willingness to share your existing ideas towards the creative process towards new material
commit to practicing once a week/fortnight and make sure that you can contribute financially usually around £8 to the rehearsals
attend practices and gigs in a clean state of mind. (sure, some of us may have a beer or two at practices/gigs, but not really up for alcohol/substance abuse getting in the way of practice/performance)
Please note - I am in my early 40s but age is not really a barrier for me, I am employed in a full time job and not in a position to abandon everything to go on tour and primarily do this for enjoyment, not superstardom. Not to say I would turn superstardom down should it come knocking but that is not my goal.
If you are interested let me know.
Some of my old band stuff (we did covers mostly but have also done some originals that I wrote solely on my own or in coalition)
