Hi everyone!

I'm a 26 year old guitar player who has just moved to London from New Zealand. I have been playing for about 7 years and keen to find some others with similar music tastes and similar ages to have a jam, practice regularly, potentially write some originals. I am mostly interested in indie rock/alternative rock. Not too fussed on skill level. I am based on East London, so near there is preferable but happy to travel a bit if required.

A few of the bands I'm into:
The Strokes, Blur, Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, The Beatles, Oasis, The Smashing Pumpkins, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Killers, Radiohead, RHCP, Alvvays, The Smiths, Djo, Fontaines D.C., Queens of the stone age etc.

As well as quite a few australian indie rock bands (Royel Otis, Ocean Alley, Spacey Jane, Lime Cordiale etc.)

Let me know if you're interested!
