ABOUT

Hi, I'm Valera. I played guitar in a garage rock band in Russia called Wise Dragons, we had an EP and an LP. We did just a few gigs for our friends, nothing too popular, had maybe 10K listenings in total on streaming services. I miss those days and want to write music and do gigs again.

Looking for some interesting people with a similar music taste to create a fun band with. Importantly, I don't want to have a cover band, I want to write original material.

I'm not a pro player – no shredding or fantastic solos, but I compensate it with energetic riffs (I have some drafts to start with). I also study vocals now, but I'm a beginner here.
