Or Wot!

Allow me to introduce myself...
I'm an experienced guitarist/"if I have to" singer with pro gear and own transport looking for a motley crew of like-minded individuals to make some noise.
So I’ve been playing the local covers circuit for the last 5+ years, and whilst it’s great fun getting paid to play Brown Eyed Girl for the 492nd time, there’s a creative itch in me that requires a good old scratch (already tried savlon, doesn’t cure it)
I’d really like to meet up with a few fellow creatives every few weeks to make fairly psychedelic, riffy, punky, soundscapey good time rock’n’roll. Any idea what that might sound like? Me neither to be honest. I’m thinking stuff like The Horrors, The Computers, Black Keys, 13th Floor Elevators, Death in Vegas, The Wildhearts, The War On Drugs all stirred up into a throbbing mess of a rock’n’roll circus. Or something.
Bassist? Synth player? Drummer? Yet another guitarist? Someone that can sing properly? Something else? Cool, yeah get in touch. Just make sure you’ve got your own gear and transport, and that you’re pretty easy going…
I’m based in Needingworth near St Ives, Cambs and have some writing/rehearsal space (electronic drums probably best to keep good with the neighbours) at my house, complete with a half-decent recording setup, but happy to travel elsewhere too.
In an ideal world we’d write and record some songs, play some gigs and it’d blow my little mind if we could press a 7-inch or something. I’m pretty realistic, not expecting to ‘make it’, or even to make any money from it, have my own commitments (work, mrs, other bands etc) but think I have time for a fun project…
If this appeals to you at all please give me a shout. Oh and I'm 31 by the way, if that makes any difference.
Cheers,
Tom
