SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Violin, Cello.ABOUT
Experienced guitarist. Got chops, but mainly been an indie guy for years.
Yep, I'm old. But I don't really look it.
Been signed before. Last band was a Melbourne bunch called Bayou. Was in bands for years in Perth, with some recognition if not 'success'.
Itching to play again after a few years of downed tools...
Into melody, whether it's moody or uplifting, as long as it's got dynamics and some guts. Loud is good. More loudererer is more gooderer.

Bands: Swervedriver, Pixies, Posies, MBV, Teenage Fanclub, Husker Du, Guided By Voices, but really anything from TONTO era Stevie Wonder to Stereolab, Bjork, Dirty Three, Beastie Boys, Tropical F*ck Storm, whatever, to commercial bangers if they're produced well enough.
There's good sh*t to be mined in most music.
