Songwriter looking for Lead Guitar, Drums, Bass to join my indie/britpop inspired project.
I'm a songwriter/guitarist/vocalist looking for a lead guitarist, bassist and drummer to play full-band live versions of my music that I have been performing solo under the name Velour.
I'm going for a rock/alt/indie/britpop sort of thing with this music, Oasis (mostly Noel's songs, and some of his solo stuff), Stereophonics, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen as well as some more classic rock like T Rex, Mott the Hoople, Bowie.
I've been performing solo and gigging around London the past few months, but need to move to central Manchester in December and want to gauge interest and see if I can start over there performing with an actual band. While I already have the songs, it would be cool if other musicians wanted to write their own parts. But I'm also happy to do it if people prefer.
I wouldn't be in Manchester full time til beginning of December but it would be good to meet before then, I'll be around periodically in the next few months playing some open mics and stuff.
I'm in my late 20's and would prefer musicians in their late twenties and thirties who'd be down to rehearse once a week and gig once a month at least. (And of course we'd all evenly split profits from ticket sales, not that I'm making loads at the moment). I completely get that it would be a side project for most people and want to be respectful of everyone's time and energy.
I've got a few songs (rougher mixes where I play everything and sort of just guess how to mix it haha) out on streaming services, here's a link to a few of those demos.

I'd like to eventually re-record something a bit cleaner with a professional engineer, but it's more important to me at the moment to get the music out there.
