I'm a highly skilled guitarist who has been playing religiously for nine years.
I like writing and playing songs that are needlessly complicated.
Main guitar influences are - John Frusciante, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta, Thomas Erak of The Fall of Troy and Explosions in the Sky.

My main vocal influences are Jeff Buckley, John Frusciante, Scott Matthews, Jonsi of Sigur Ros and Mike Vennart of Oceansize.

I'm looking for a drummer and a bassist to jam with in the ilk of The Mars Volta/The Fall of Troy/Oceansize/Trail of Dead and other awesome stuff. Genres are sh*te and I don't want to get caught up in that. There are some demos of my solo work up at www.myspace.com/thompiddock if you wish to listen, band stuff would be a bit different though.
