Band to Join.

ABOUT

I am looking to join/start a decent covers band, something to enjoy and look forward to. I've been playing for nearly 20 years so I have a couple of tricks but nothing lightning fast! For most of that time I've played electric but I'm enjoying learning some fingerstyle arrangements and even a bit of classical. But my first love is chunky riffs and bluesy solos with a proper band, and I really want to get back into it. I'm not looking to give up the day job, just have a good laugh with like minded musicians and hopefully entertain some punters along the way!

Influences

The usual classic rock suspects like Led Zep and Sabbath, Hendrix, bluesy stuff like Gary Moore, Peter Green and Bonamassa, heavier stuff like Metallica, SOAD, Gn'R, Bullet for my Valentine. Beatles, of course. Anything really with an overdriven guitar! I have a childish soft spot for Bon Jovi. More modern stuff would include Arctic Monkeys, QOTSA, Kings of Leon etc.
