SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.

ABOUT

[Update, now two guitarists and a "maybe" on drums (drummers still get in touch), also seeking bass and vocals for 90s/00s rock/alt/indie covers band initially]

Guitarist seeking rock/alt covers or a new originals band, ideally within within Bristol/Bath/North Somerset area.

I’m previously a very experienced gigging bassist, but really want to have a crack at a guitar project now.

I'm a fairly advanced rhythm player but more intermediate lead. I don’t mind taking a rhythm role for the right project with an established/experienced group, or taking/sharing a lead role in something new/more fledgling where we're all learning/developing anyway.

Covers projects: would ideally focus on 90s onwards rock/indie/alternative.

Originals projects: my goal is get writing again this year and I'd only want to join something where I get to write and produce too, with complementary influences and vision.

Band recruitment is a nightmare so I'm well up for just making friends and booking some zero commitment jam nights to see what does and doesn't work without the ordeal of auditions and the obligation of committing to the first project that comes along!

So give me a shout if you want to get together, find some more folk and book something in (I have a few places in mind).

If you can't message on here, I'm pretty easy to find on etc
