To start with, Im a songwriter first and foremost based in Newcastle/North Tyneside.
Generally think the music/gigging band scene in this city is canny naff at the min like, no offence or nowt...
Im 25 years old and played in several bands over the years, kind of classic indie stuff, smiths, oasis, stone roses, arctic monkeys, libertines and all that tackle. Don't get me wrong I don't mind that stuff but everyone does it and im unbelievably bored tbh. The stuff i write and want to play in the way of original songs and sound is inspired by the 60s/70s, The Beatles, The Kinks, The who, Love, T Rex, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Van Morrison, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, ELO. Know its hardly an obscure/unusual style of music and influence, but it just seems like no one my age wants to play music like this round here anymore which is genuinely quite disappointing tbh. Seems to be a needle in a haystack finding like minded musicians with similar influences in this city, so this is ambitious of course but here we go...
Im primarily looking to bring a drummer onboard, for a new originals band I am setting up. Ideally in there 20s/30s with some experience but mainly with a good understanding of serving the songs, and crafting the right grooves and beats. Also looking for a versatile second guitarist to play a mix of lead and rhythm parts. There's no egos on the table here like, just me and my mate who's a like minded bass player and an old band member looking to get something cool going, both down to earth lads like. If you've had a read and think this is up your street don't hesitate to give me a txt or a ring like, and we can hopefully get a jam organised cheers (John) 07737870934
