Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Steel guitar, Electronic Music.ABOUT
I'm looking to play in a band after a break. I have the gear, can bang out a few chords and love playing on stage - just need a band to do it all with!
I played guitar and did some singing many years ago, then focussed more on blues and ballads in an attempt to learn to play cool leads and licks. I failed, so now I just like to play foot-tapping, up-tempo rhythm guitar and let someone else do the widdling and wailing.
I recently played a few gigs in Berlin, and had forgotten what great fun it is to just get up and play!
I grew up listening to big-hair-bands in the 80s, indie rock in the 90s and ska/punk crossover in the 00s (Me First and the Gimmes, Bowling for Soup etc) and throughout it all, kept coming back to the Wildhearts. I'd love to play this sort of stuff, but am equally as happy to play blues, soul and/or reggae. I quite like a lot of the modern punk/swing stuff too.
If you want to start a band, or maybe just jam and see how it goes, maybe drop me a line: chris.holdenmultiedge-net.co.uk.
