SEEKING

ABOUT

fuzzy alternative garage rock, noise and post punk, rock n roll and psycedelics
jam into spontaneousity and perform slow, calm and steady till we get there.
no icons.
I have been playing music for over almost 15 years in bands, on my own and with various people jamming. I have spent several years in music collectives running diy gigs and recordings as well as worked professionally as both musician and audio engineer.

Unfortunately Greece (where I used to live) is not the best place to take music seriously but I have now moved in London since 2019 looking for people! Covid has messed the plans a bit but we will make it!!

I am looking for people who enjoy music and are interested in original stuff only. Improvising, proper rehearsing, song-writing and gigs but would also really enjoy some fun jamming until then.

The tracks I have here:
summon me Smoke and Lougring, are demos of songs I write everything myself - crappy quality just to get an idea.
Lucy is a drunk-ass jam by myself.

Here is one of my favourite jams I was lucky to play in with some great chaps back in greece (me playing the drums here)

Here are some songs released by my earlier-years band so you can check my drumming levels although the type of music is not what I would choose to play now :)

EQUIPMENT

an Ibanez/les paul replica humbucker electric guitar - nice and noisy. i am looking to upgrade that but still havent found the one!

a high gain and noisy pedalboard, drive, overdrive, fuzz and reverb pedals.
I am soon gonna get a synth pedal too or whatever else comes along.

full home recording setup, midi keyboard, midi drum pads.
I still haven't moved my drum parts from Greece but this is in the plans as well as getting a synth in case we start playing in gigs.
