Hello all,
I’m going to be straight with you, if you’re one of those people that likes the idea of making a band but never puts the effort in then this isn’t going to be for you. That also includes the people that message a couple of times but never do any more than that! Seriously, it’s just a waste of time! Now that they’ve gone let’s get down to it.
I’m not normally this blunt when writing these things but I’ve been trying to put a band together now for over 5 years and time and again other musician’s keep letting me down. I know I’m not the only person with this issue so that’s why I’m looking for a group of dedicated artists who are willing to put in the time and effort needed to make our band great. I want the band to be successful but that doesn’t mean that it should be restrictive. I want to be able to pick some of our favourite songs, find a venue and make each and every show packed with energy.
If you’ve read this far then I want to give you a little background about myself. I’m a 25 year old male from Northwich, Cheshire and I’m looking to start or join a band. I mainly play rhythm guitar but I can also play lead (not shredding though), sing lead or backing vocals, and play bass guitar. The genres I’m looking to play are punk, rock, and indie.
I want to be clear that I haven’t played in a band before and have no experience live outside of open mic nights. I am a song writer and have released an EP as a solo artist. I’m currently setting myself up as a Johnny Cash tribute and will begin playing live soon. I have all the gear needed to play live including a PA system and my own transport.
What I want from the band is something where we play covers of major rock/punk/etc hits with the view to making and recording our own material as the bands popularity grows. The journey will be tough, it’s a competitive market that’s why I want dedicated artists on board, but the reward will be worth it. Big dreams start out small! If any of that sounds like you then get in touch!
Cheers,
Alex
