SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Bass, Vocalist - Baritone, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard, Piano, Other, Banjo, Electronic Music.ABOUT
My name is Gary and I want to collaborate with strong vocalists and dynamic musicians, for joint ventures to record and perform original concepts of alternative indie rock music.
'XcLeB' (my altered ego).
Check out https://www.reverbnation/xcleb for the 2020 demo album concept 'The Broken Temple'
DEMO'S:
See the audio section for several home made demos.
1) 1st 7 tracks are my rough demo's with just myself in song bashing out some chords on an acoustic guitar.
2) The other tracks are demo's with me taking care of all parts
THE PROJECTS:
As a multi-instrumentalist I'm keen to play either Guitar or Bass to works primarily written and produced by myself. However, respectively, a joint venture project or strong collaboration is totally welcome if final productions of singles and albums are destined for distribution on major platforms.
From no fixed genre, my approach to making music is more experimental than to follow rules and disciplines associated with 'sitting in the box'. As for experience, 'I'm seasoned'.

Influences
In the 80's I was primarily driven by Punk and New-Wave (anything edgy) and then my influences regressed back from there, however, my learning curve came more from the Bluesy and Country vibes picked up from 50's & 60's stuff.
Now, it's simply all about..., "if it floats my boat, I'll sail it".
Note: Before you come to any conclusions, I'd suggest that you give us a listen. All songs have been mixed on headphones for headphone playback...

The comfort you get from that special place needed to escape the collapsing pressures of hitting rock bottom. The person inside of you will gather the strength to find the way through it, but never the way out.
