Im 46, 47? 46? wait what?! in my 40s
Im an experienced bass player, played in a variety of bands, covers to originals.
Covers I mostly covered from 60-now, rock, indie and some pop
I can do backing when the song bass line isn't crazy challenging - so blink 182 stuff - can do - muse stuff - hmmmm no
I am looking for like minded people, who want to hang out once a week, play some tunes, do a gig every so often, once a month would be great, the odd time a few more a month - open to it
I have played all sorts of tracks over the years.
I would love a band who would be up playing rock indie tracks, just good songs
Would be great to be in a band with
- a solid drummer, dont have to be fancy, just really solid and tight, can learn songs and emphasise the groove
- a lead guitarist - understands pedals, understands volume
- a keyboard/synth player or rhythm guitarist
- a lead singer who can hold a note and leave the ego at home... well, the negative part of the ego
i like all sorts, really like sam fender right now, however the list is long and I only really draw the line at doom metal
im a massive pixies fan, radiohead
some stuff I like, and these are just tracks I like and play a bit at the moment, just cos i like them
- smiths: there is a light that never goes out & Charming Man
- RHCP: otherside, can't stop, under the bridge
- Primal Scream: rocks
- Strokes: Last nite
- REM: losing my religion and orange crush
- zombie
- learn to fly
- sex on fire and use somebody
- all the small things blink 182
- dakota
- mr brightside (would prefer to play jenny is a friend of mine or all these things that I've done)
- oasis rock and roll star, live forever
be great to hear from you
