Yes, me!
I'm so gagging to start playing again it's almost unbelievable. I hate to say that most of my remaining youtube presence is pretty dire, I don't know why some songs have been taken down, but you get a better idea at https://10tontongue.bandcamp.com/ where our album resides.
If you have no time for that, here's a Tom waits cover at a festival about a million years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmMwkElclF8&t=226s
SHIIIIIIT quality sound, but kind of a fun capture of one of our own at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2bbxHwZkyw
And a heavy Joni Mitchell cover at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSgryjwRRDA
Please don't bother with the rest, it makes me want to die. I've been unable to get the rest removed, or the ones I really liked put back up.
So it goes.
I used to write prolifically, needed a break from the heavy political nature of it and have been singing sweeter, melancholic folky things with a friend, making nice harmonies and so on, but he's really busy and a bit of a stoner, which isn't my bag any more. I don't mind it if stuff gets done but I started to just feel a bit anxious that we were wasting time when we got together.
I'm up for committing, up for auditioning, and if we got it together and we were good, I still have a few remaining connections from my Bristol days (had a pub and a band and promoted others as well as stuck us out onto the festival circuit) so could perhaps help push us out there over summer. I'm not one for being the big I am - we tried earnestly to conquer the world and realised it's really tiring and painful for the ego. I just want to play music that makes me feel excited, and whatever else follows is good, is fun, is no biggie.... I'm a bit older now which maybe doesn't render me quite the rock n roll fodder I may have been, but I'm longer in the tooth, a little bit wiser maybe, and can still belt it out. I actually really love to sing sweetly, and what I love more than anything is to create harmonies that make people want to cry.
Let me know. I'm not on here much so maybe text 07508 382493 if you'd like to meet up.
Cheers!
