I'm Viv, a 26 year old guitarist from Weymouth. I'm trying to form a new originals band and need a guitarist, bassist, drummer and singer.
Like most new bands, I don't know exactly what we're going to sound like at this point but my personal influences are quite a range: Green Day, GNR, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, System Of A Down. I realize this is quite a range. The generic style I'm going for is melodic hard rock and metal. Depending on how things unfold we may have a screamer later on but death metal is generically not what I'm going for. But we can see how thigns pan out.
Essential:
- Be willing and able to rehearse in Weymouth
- Be able to play/sing to a high standard
- Have gig appriate gear and means of travelling to and from gigs (don't have to drive as long as you can travel)
Desirable:
- Have some good original song ideas of your own
- Be able to read and compsoe tabs and sheet music to a high standard
- Have music production skills and knowledge
- Have experience playing live and recording
Being in other bands etc... not an issue as long as you show up on time, learn the required material, contribute to original songs (ideally), ace gigs and rehearsals and generally contribute positively to the band.
I'm excited to see where things go with this. Considering entering the Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses contest at some point if and when the time is right.
If you're interested and you think you tick the required boxes please get in touch with some videos of you playing/singing and we'll go from there. If you would like demos/tabs of my original ideas please also let me know and I can send these via email or whatsapp. My youtube is down below so you can check that out too to get an idea of my playing also.
Many Thanks!
Viv
