Trying to get back into playing music and looking for likeminded people to play music and hopefully start an originals band with.
I've been in and out of bands over the last decade and stopped playing due to personal circumstances and a wrist injury. I've collaborated, written and recorded music with these bands.
However, this is something that isn't like my previous bands. Tastes etc change as I got older and dipping in and out of jamming with some friends, we aren't really on the same page anymore musically and I find myself not enjoying the projects I'm a part of. I'm looking for something that I guess would be described as indie/alt pop with a bit of a dance-rock vibe to it.
I play bass and I'm looking for a drummer, guitarist (or two) and vocalist. Any gender/age is fine, I always liked the idea of having a female/male lead vocalist and the opposite gender doing the backing vocals, kind of like Pixies - I'm just a sucker for the tonal contrast.
My influences are all over the place but to name a few: Pixies, Wolf Alice, Nirvana, Silversun Pickups, Queens of the Stone Age, Gorillaz, Smashing Pumpkins, the Strokes, Biffy Clyro, RHCP and many more.
I think for something like this Wolf Alice are a big inspiration with their use of loud/quiet dynamics in songs like Fluffy/Silk and others songs having a more pop sound while others are fast, punky and energetic.
So... I'm thinking we jam a few covers, have a writing session, record ideas and songs and I'm open to playing shows.
Own gear + transport would be good.
If you're interested then drop me a message and we'll get the ball rolling.
Thanks Smile
