Starting alt rock band - looking for bassist with pick
I'm looking for an energetic pick-using bassist in their 20s, to form an alternative rock band with me. The band would be based mainly in Brent, although I can also practice in Watford at the start.
My influences are mainly alternative & punk musicians, with my main influences being the Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age, while I'm also influenced by others such as: Black Flag, the Buzzcocks, Mark Lanegan, the Pixies, R.E.M. and plenty of others I'm forgetting, in addition to the main grunge bands.
I have many songs that I want to use straight away, some of which I've linked below.
I don't care much for flashy technical prowess, I find simplicity can be far more useful in the kind of music I like.
I hope this can be a regular long-term thing, rather than just a side-project, and am hoping whoever is interested will see it the same way. I'm ready to get started straight away, and hopefully start playing gigs by the end of March.
If you have any questions then feel free to contact me here or on instagram. Thanks.
