SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
Highly experienced (live & studio) bassist with backing vocals. Played all size venues from pubs/clubs to theatres, arenas and even a football stadium!
I was a founding member of Europe's premiere (and the world's longest running) KISS Tribute Band ''Dressed To Kill'. In the 26 years I was in the band we were lucky enough to be invited to play all over the world and visited almost every country in mainland Europe as well as Scandinavia and even Japan! We were the 'official choice of 'Gene Simmons' himself, appeared on his 'Rock School' & 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' TV shows and also featured in an amazing 'visual llation' at the Meltdown Festival at the London South Bank Centre with an estimated 200,000+ visitors viewing us! I have shared the stage with numerous well known acts and everyone from KISS members to Jethro Tull, Motorhead, Saxon, Paul Young & even Beverly Craven! lol!
I now play bass with the amazing melodic rock theatre show "Leather & Lace", dep for the Madness Tribute Band 'Cairo East' and the stunning 'Supersonic 70's Show/Solid Gold 70's Show' and play with other covers bands/sessions.
