ABOUT

Hey there, I'm a bassist/electronic musician, 37 years old. looking for like minded musicians to collaborate/jam/make noise with.
Strictly fun based, I've done the "serious" band thing before and would be purely doing this for my (our) own enjoyment.

I'd love to be involved in something contemporary but drawing on the great traditions of songwriting, heavy rock riffs and progressive bluesy psychedelia epitomised by bands like Pink FLoyd, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Steppenwolf etc but also open to a little experimentation.
Currently listening to Wolf People, Black Mountain, Barkmarket, Baroness, Rush, Van Der Graaf Generator, Fugazi, Lightning Dust and Sleepy sun.
I want to create original music with a view to playing live and doing the occasional gig.
If this interests you at all then get in touch. mammoetrollen (at) googlemail (dot) com
