ABOUT

Singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist, looking to form a new group of talented and driven maniacs. As of the moment its just me and a drummer who hosts a practice space weekly in the heart of Kiama, nearby the train station. Hours wise it's pretty easy, I try to commit to 4-5 hours per practice but if thats inconvenient dropping in and out mid prac is chill as long as something gets done. I own a van fit for carrying all kinds of gear for gigs as well.

About two albums worth of songs completed just with our bits, but with penciled in ideas for bass and lead parts. Keyboard remains an enigma to me so as long as you're slick with it and can do a little improv you're okay in my books (Ray Manzarek fans welcome), but for bass and lead theres going to be a bit more of a framework incase you're not the writing type. Co-writing is also encouraged! Personally I really admire someone who can bounce back and forth music ideas, as well as put forward their own material so creativity is welcome.
