Drums.ABOUT
Mr Pineapple (the band I play bass for) is looking for a drummer! Our current guy is unfortunately moving away and we'd like to continue momentum we've built in the last year. Practicing weekly and gigging occasionally for fun we have an extensive back catalogue of songs and usually play an hour+ set. Music has been described as a cross between Frank Zappa and Tenacious D, technical riffs with a lot of silliness and references thrown in, applicants should be fluent in Red Dwarf quotes and 90's TV show themes. Please contact me on the address further down and check out Mrpineappleband on the u tubes if interested, rehearsals in Farnborough, all gear provided, own transport massively preferred.
For my own stuffTracks on here are live recordings (2 mics, guitar and vox at same time, single takes, warts and all.) With a splash of verb and small amount of compressor, what you hear is what you'll get if I sang for your band! Recorded a varied selection that hopefully demonstrates my range, all song are original key except Jolene (dropped from C# to A).*
Long haired, mildly hippyish, bass player living in hampshire. Have played since I was 14 and been in various originals and cover bands, experienced backing and lead vocalist.
Currently playing bass in an original band but would like to join a covers outfit as acoustic/rhythm guitarist and singer, have performed in an acoustic duo as singer at a few weddings and such and would like to do more. Fairly wide vocal range, have sung most things from Johnny cash to Bob Marley and tennese Ernie ford to Dion. Prefer to have a guitar as well rather than just singing but would have a go.
Also played piano ages 6-16, started lessons again in 2015, not quite back to gigging standard yet but would love to improve by writing/rehearsing with others. Have full time employment so looking to gig a couple of times a month and can do weekday evening rehearsals.
I have access to a recording studio and full PA setup.
