SEEKING

ABOUT

My interest in playing music began many, many years ago when I bought my first bass guitar after hearing The Cure's 'Faith' album.
I was the bass player for a Perth-based funk/rock band Seahorse in the very early 90's. After Seahorse disbanded in 1993, I wrote a handful of songs with my long-time high school friend Darren Leigh. We recorded some of those songs using an analogue 4-track Tascam but never released any tracks officially, nor played live even though we dreamed the dream.
From 2013 – 2014, I was the rhythm guitarist in No Refunds, a band thrown together via Kosmic Sound and WEMA’s “I’m in the Band 2013” project. We did one gig at The Charles Hotel which was a great opportunity to play to a crowd of 400.
I have released 5 albums and an EP over the last 15+ years - these can be heard on my BandCamp page - www.damianksheiles.bandcamp.com
My aim is to put together a band and play some of these songs live. I'm looking for a bass player, keyboards and drummer.
