Hey,
I'm looking to join a band and maybe it's yours! Below I've summarised what I'm looking for, so please get in touch if it sounds good to you.
Experience: I've been playing guitar for over 20 years (how the time flies...). I've been in bands before, so I'm used to learning parts, keeping in time, contributing to songs, and turning up to each rehearsal. I've done some gigging earlier this year but not loads, so it would be great to have the opportunity to do more (once I'm up to speed with the songs, of course).
Influences: I listen to all sorts of nonsense, but for what I'm looking for at the moment, I'd probably describe it as alternative rock / grunge. I like strong vocal melodies, heavy guitar riffs with a groove, tight drums, and cool basslines that wrap around it all. I want the music to connect with people and for catchy hooks to get stuck in their head! Stuff like: Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of The Stone Age, Nirvana, Muse, Radiohead, Pixies, Placebo etc.
Ambition: I'm in my mid-30's now, so I'm a realist in terms of how far a project might go. I'm not looking for world domination, but writing songs, doing recording, playing gigs would be great. If it starts to pop off, then all the better. My preference is to work on having great music first and then start gigging when it's in decent shape.
Band Vibe: I'm looking for a friendly, respectful, and sociable band. I'm keen that communication is really clear and that the band agrees stuff together, rather than an individual. I'd like to feel an equal part of the band as everyone else.
Availability: I'm available to rehearse every 1-2 weeks. My preference would be Weekend daytime or Weekday evenings.
Age Range: I'm fairly relaxed with age ranges, though I'd probably say 30+ would make for the best fit.
Cheers,
Pete
