SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm a competent and melodic bass player with a good pair of lug'oles and backing vocal ability. Currently already committed to a band doing original material, but would just like to get out and do more!
Good original material, or interesting covers/interpretations are what do it for me.
