SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Drums, Other Percussion, Saxophone, Keyboard, DJ, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Long-term player into all styles of music. I am a solid rhythm and lead player with good timing and feel, with many years of experience holding a band together.
I am currently singing and playing guitar with a bass player, and we are looking for a drummer or percussionist to play covers and originals with weekly rehearsals.
Would also like to start a second project involving experimental, electronic, dub, hip-hop, and cow-punk styles with a DJ and synths. I am seeking someone on decks, keys, or samplers and a vocalist or rapper to jam and write originals.
I have a musical open mind and will play with anyone from ages 15 to 85.
You can contact me directly on 0404 364 811. I am based in Kia Ora but travel to the Sunshine Coast a couple of times a week for work.
I have a full PA and guitar/bass amps setup for a band here at the farm with no noise restrictions.
Cheers, Ben.
