I'm a 39 yr old guitar player / songwriter who’s looking to get back into making music with some like minded people.
I'm open to a couple of directions.
A covers band that plays classics tunes from the 60's to 00's (no emo) from artists such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Neil Young, Dylan, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Depeche Mode, Kings of Leon, Oasis, New Order, Joy Division etc. preferably money earning.
or
an originals band as a collaborative project with influences including, Black Sabbath, The Smiths, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Neil Young, Pixies, dEUS, Interpol, PJ Harvey, Kings of Leon, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth, The Cure, Nirvana, NIN, Idlewild, Arctic Monkeys
Ideally if there are any projects out there already going similar to the above looking for a proficient guitar player then get in touch..
Most recently I fronted my own post-punk band HYMNS as the main songwriter / guitar player (this will give you an example of my vibe)

I am currently working up demos in a similar vein if anyone wants to collaborate.
We played a fair amount of gigs around London venues.
I've also toured as part of indie artist Darling Boy's touring band, in Germany and the UK a few years back

We used to do a few covers as well as original material
If any of this sounds appealing please contact me via email at olioopa@gmail.com.
I'm eager to find the right people or project but will obvs ignore scammers and time wasters.
Cheers
