SEEKING

ABOUT

Primarily a Guitarist (20+ years) but also play Bass and Synth/Keys and drum machine/sequencing stuff -- Really into layered effected sounds. Also more about a band chemistry, sum of all parts etc. Looking to start a band or join one, in particular singers & percussionists or multi-instrumentalists with similar taste, who are motivated to bring some ideas together. Keen to jam & if something clicks come up with something to go out and destroy eardrums.

Have several different band ideas with lots of demos in varying states. From Heavy Stoner/Doom/Psychedelic, 90s Grunge/Alt Rock, Shoegaze, Electronic/Gothy/Industrial to Hardcore/Punky. Open to a lot of different styles.

Used to rehearsing around inner city and inner west (moving back newtown way shortly), also open to North side.
