SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Violin, Keyboard, Piano, Other, Upright bass.ABOUT
I'm an 18 year old guitarist, pianist and bassist. I hold no formal grades in any of these instruments but have been in a relatively successful local band playing covers of bands such as 'The Red Hot Chilli Peppers' and 'Kings of Leon' along with our own songs. Ive become increasingly interested in the use of synthesizers and drum synthesis methods and restricted by playing cover songs and wish to form a band with or join a group of individuals who don't feel confined to the generic 4 piece rock band and who wish to write and perform original music. I'm based 20 mins outside of Cheltenham and in full time education at the moment (just something to consider).
