SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Based in Melbourne's south east suburbs. Been playing since 10 years old and have been in a variety of original and covers bands over the many years (ie, rock, heavy, blues and country). Have recorded 6 CDs and have a you tube clip with over 1.3 million hits. Main bands I have been in: Matt Borg Trio (funk), Electric Blues Collective (high energy blues), Andrea Marr Band (blues), Ruckus (country), Deepest Purple (DP covers), Live Lizzy (Thin Lizzy tribute), etc.

Looking for a well organised band (ideally covers / tribute) that is gigging at least once a month around Melbourne. I would love to also consider a progressive rock outfit if it ticked all the boxes.

I have the equipment to match any type of music as I have been collecting for decades. Studio quality gear and great live drum and cymbals sounds are not an issue.
