ABOUT
*Not looking to join your backing band or covers band, sorry! Looking to either start up something new and sing/share vocals OR join a committed established band.*
Dedicated and experienced bassist/vocalist/guitarist looking for serious and committed band, preferably something taking influences from grunge/stoner/punk genres - no crazy time signatures or over complicated instrumentation, just a chunky tone and a load of dirty riffs.
Currently switching between a guitar and a bass vi and playing with a load of fuzz and octave pedals - my playing style is producing as big a sound as possible with as little as possible going on.
Very keen to gig, record and tour when possible and have contacts around the country for when the time comes.
Own transport and plenty of gear - currently living near Derby and travelling to Nottingham fairly often for work, so I’m pretty happy to drive a reasonable distance for the right project.
Happy to share songwriting and vocals if you’re into that, but not interested in working with someone who just sings.
Feel free to say hi on ig if you’re interested - makefuzzhappen
