SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist - Baritone, Vocalist - Tenor, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.

ABOUT

Eclectic and experienced guitarist. I've played pub bands semiprofessionally for years. I write songs and know several hundred covers. Experienced with band dynamics and a team player. Quite trong and versatile on guitar, adequate with vocals and sort of unique on bass.

I also have a fair amount of experience with music production and sound engineering. I know how to arrange live for a quality sound.

Currently in the Culprits, a guitar, bass, drums, vox combo, looking for keyboard and additional vocals, possibly a front person. It's an eclectic sound that stays off the beaten path but is instantly recognisable and fun. Call it, I don't knew, power pop. Everyone gets a spotlight in this upbeat mix of pub-friendly tunes.

Interested? Catch me at Qalibr8 at Hotmail.

Influences

The band plays Cake, Strokes, Cure, Escape Club, INXS, etc. Beatles, Bowie, remakes of some goofy '60s tracks. It's really fun stuff. Personally I also play modern jazz - Metheny, Weather Report, Davis - stuff with a good, danceable groove we can jam with. Fripp, Sonic Youth and darker stuff like that are also in there.
