SEEKING
Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
'We' are a guitar and bass duo playing a mix of bluesy, old school R & B/soul, pop influenced songs and wish to find a like-minded 'boutique kit' drummer or percussionist interested in a funky, California-ish light groove. A less is more approach with the emphasis on the groove is the dominant theme. We want things to swing, to be fun and use the space between notes to create some funky energy. I'm not even sure what I mean by that other than taking the foot of the gas and being laid back. I guess I'm thinking hints of jazz too but this is not something I feel especially dominant/confident in but hope to develop in the context of what others bring to the table as it were. We are interested in musicians as people who enjoy co-creating something. We have established a fledgling set of songs but its still work in progress.

Members Of Band
'We' (myself and bass) are both called Rich. We have been getting together for a couple of years in each others house most weeks just working on songs. TBH it has been pretty loose but that has enabled us to find a groove.
We have both played hundreds of gigs but only done a couple with this project so far.
EQUIPMENT
Gibson Les Paul with P90s, and Tele plus Fender Deluxe Reverb amp
