Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist Forming Band
I am a 38 year old male, my primary focus is vocals (mainly clean but I can scream a bit) and I can play rhythm guitar as well. I am looking to form a band. I primarily play original material, but I also play some covers. I want to work with musicians that are serious about making a living from music both through recordings and live shows.
My music taste is incredibly eclectic, I can easily go from listening to Lady Gaga one minute then Lamb of God the next. Some of my favourite artists are Alkaline Trio, The Offspring, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Sabaton, Unleash the Archers, The Longest Johns, Dancing With the Dead, Del Amitri, Nobuo Uematsu, Random Hand, RX Bandits and Twelve Foot Ninja. Recently I have been really getting into Bring me the Horizon (Sempiternal onwards) and Paramore.
My guitars are an Epiphone SG electric, a Yamaha FG180 acoustic and a 7 string Ibanez AEG721 electro acoustic. My amps are a Line 6 Spider IV 150W and Peavey Bandit 112 100W. I have a Shure SM58 mic, but I do not have a PA system. I don't drive so I would need to be able to either walk, get public transport or a lift to rehearsals and gigs.
I have gigged and recorded in the past, but took an extended break from both due to struggling to find like minded musicians to work with. I have started performing again playing guitar and singing at open mics in Leicester city at least once per week (The Soundhouse, Grand Union, The Donkey Garden, King Richard III & The Western so far) and recently played a 30 minute set at a charity gig for LOROS at The Soundhouse.
I have about 2 albums worth of original songs that are mostly complete as far as vocals and rhythm guitar goes.
