23. Played guitar for 15 years. Live experience but been out of it for a few years with work.
Looking to put a serious band together to play live shows, initially covers, for fun, and to professionally record stuff. Maybe take it further from there.
I really, really want this, and do to it properly. So not just being another amateur cover band awkwardly plodding through Mr Brightside unpracticed, sounding pretty dire. Instead, a tight coherent band playing through professional equipment so the sound is as great as possible. Valve amps, monitors, SM57s, old vintage gear. Literally spent today trying to justify to myself buying a 50 year old electric organ off eBay to get that psychedelic Inspiral Carpets/Charlatans sound...I just really want to f***king have it on stage and sound mega when doing it.
Pretty eclectic, Rock/Blues/Britpop/Northern Soul/Classical/Soundtracks/Psychedelia/Irish Folk/Punk Rock/Folk Rock. Getting into that indie/electronic thing, Blossoms, Jungle, MGMT, Massive Attack, White Town, etc. My major influence though and what I'm looking for in a band is British Rock. Favourite band is Oasis.
Bands I've covered live are Arctic Monkeys; The Beatles; Beach Boys/Brian Wilson; Bowie; Biffy Clyro; Black Keys; Blur; Jake Bugg; Buzzcocks; Cast; Eric Clapton; The Clash; Dirty Pretty Things; Dodgy; Dropkick Murphys; Bob Dylan; The Jam; Joy Division; Inspiral Carpets; Liam Gallagher; The La's; Miles Kane; Kasabian; The Killers; The Kinks; The Libertines; Manic Street Preachers; Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Johnny Marr; Oasis; Iggy Pop; Rolling Stones; Sex Pistols; The Smiths; The Stone Roses; T-Rex; The Verve; The White Stripes; The Who; The Yardbirds; Neil Young.
What song I'd open with changes only a weekly basis but atm I'd go with Morning Glory or Town called Malice. Loud. Massive chorus. Let the crowd know they are going to properly f***king have it that night within seconds of the opening riff playing.
