Hi, I am a 28 year old guitarist and/or bassist wanting to join or form a band, I am primarily a guitarist (playing for 10+ years) but have picked up the bass more and more over the last year or so, I would personally say I am of average ability but that’s not down to me to decide surely?! I am, however, normally quick to pick things up, I’m looking to get back into a band/jamming/working with other musicians type of situation after far too long of being a "bedroom player"

I'd like to start a small, modest band/collective with chilled out people that are looking to get together for jams, write a few songs and have a laugh, people who would become my friends as well as fellow musicians, go to a few gigs, meet up for drinks, whatever anyone fancies and seeing where we end up!

I believe music should be fun and you shouldn’t take yourselves too seriously, get together for a jam, write some songs and see what happens from there! Who knows where it’ll take you?! Basically have fun with it!

As you can tell, I'm probably only looking to do this as a hobby at the moment, but that could change......who knows where it'll go.....

My main influences would be Nirvana (and the whole Seattle / hard rock / grunge / indie scene), QOTSA, Doors, Stones, Pistols, GNR. My playing style so I'm told is my own and quite varied but main influences in regards to that would be along the Kurt Cobain / Dave Grohl sort of vein for the most part!

Other influences would include
Foo Fighters, Subways, Therapy?, Deftones, Biffy Clyro, Neil Young, Brand New, Cold, Gaslight Anthem, Slaves To Gravity, Seether, The Used, also some slower more dancier/mellow stuff (think trip hop Bands, think portishead, Jem, think Bloc Party also!) I even have a few acoustic/folky chewing on a piece of hay moments

I am always willing and eager to try anything really, I’m just happy to be playing/writing music, whatever comes out!

Really, what moves me musically is far too wide a spectrum to sit here listing all day

I have quite a few rough songs (some of which I’m currently trying to record to an acceptable standard on a mini 4-track) and a pretty much constant supply of inspiration and fresh ideas ready to go and waiting to be built up!

Now the bad bits (in some eyes anyway……..) well, there is just one bad bit really, I am willing to travel a reasonable distance but don’t drive which kind of makes moving my amps and equipment about difficult (guitars go in the case and strapped to my back easy peasy!) That’s it! Bad point done!

If I (or this) sounds like the type of thing you would be interested in then drop me an email and we'll talk some more!
Dan
