SEEKING

ABOUT

Seeking a fun band.
I've been playing for over 30 years, and have a lot of experience with both gigging and recording. I'm looking for a covers band with a difference, or possibly an originals band (or a mix of the two). I'm not in it for the money so have little interest in playing functions, weddings, etc. I just want to make good quality music without having to play the same songs you hear most cover bands do.
I have professional equipment and transport and can play in a variety of styles. I'm reliable and easy to get on with and can sing harmonies/BVs too if needed.
My influences are many and various, but I love shoegaze, psychedelia, art rock, late 70s new wave, some prog/classic/hard rock, some 80s pop. Not hugely into funk, soul, blues or jazz.
I'm quite open minded about what I do... something with keyboards is always appealing but am open to any ideas. I'd be happy to join an existing band or start work on a completely new project. It has to be fun and interesting, first and foremost. Please message me if you'd like to chat.
