I am a 50+ guitarist and/or bass player looking to join an established covers band or a new band/musicians with similar musical tastes writing their own material. Happy to consider regular gigging bands or simply playing for fun if the music is great and see where it goes from there. Ideally, looking to play with musicians 40-60 age group and Glasgow based, but happy to consider options further afield too.
I have played in many bands since my mid-teens, including original material, covers bands and pub/function duos. Tends to be guitar in covers bands and bass in originals, but I'm fairly flexible. I can also scrape by with a bit synth/keys/pads and possibly some backing vocals (depending on key!).
For covers bands, I’d be looking to play up-tempo new wave, post punk, power pop, alt/indie from the late 70s to late 80s. Also happy to play some Post 1990 bands too, Bloc Party, Killers, Garbage, Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Stereophonics, Green Day
I’m not interested in Metal, Disco, Funk, EDM, Prog Rock, AOR, Country or Americana. And definitely not anything by The Beatles, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Ed Sheeran or Fleetwood Mac.
I have good pro gear and own transport. I also have a small home studio so can learn songs quickly, swap music files, mix, record sessions etc.
If you want more info, just message back. It would be helpful if you could include some background on your band, your current set list (if you have one), or an idea of songs you want to play. By all means send me links to your music/videos etc.
