ABOUT

Hi All!

Name’s Nick and I’m a 26yo Bass Player, who has been playing for 10 years, located in the North-Western Suburbs of Melbourne.

I am currently looking to join a new original band as my current one is highly likely to disband soon due to high inactivity, and I’m itching to get back out there! I’d preferably like to join a pre-established band, however given the right person and material, I may be persuaded to buddy up with a singer and/or songwriter(s) to create something new and take over the world!

I’m looking in particular for a band that is fun, upbeat and loves a good rock out. Specifically, something in the vein of: Foo Fighters, Wolfmother and/or even Franz Ferdinand.

I am very easy to get along with, so feel completely free to flick me an email if you’re interested:

Please send me some kind of recording (however rough it may be) of any material you have worked on, or preferably something you have written recently, to give me an idea of what you’re about.

Below are links to previous original bands I have been in plus the demo recording I have recently done with my current cover band:

Additional material (such as un-mastered tracks from the unreleased EP I recorded with Tin Alley last year) is available upon request.

Looking forward to rocking out again!
