SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
I am a singer/guitarist who has played in punk bands as early as the mid-90s. I am a classically trained (ex-)pianist, and attended Newtown High School of the Performing Arts.
I have some demos and experiments on my soundcloud:

I am currently starting a (hopefully) not-so-typical band that falls under the punk/post-hardcore umbrella.
I enjoy creating music that is interesting, dynamic, soulful and emotional. My song writing touches everything from sweet lovely melodies, to head-nodding rhythms, to abrasive noise.
I am in search of a bass player who loves to have fun around the neck. Fiddly at high frets to keep it interesting, and thumping on the low end when the rhythm needs it. Oh and ideally can also sing backing vocals.
This is not a high pressure all-encompassing total-commitment band. Just looking to make some great music, play some fun shows (including other cities), hang out with other bands, and see what comes next.
If this sounds interesting to you, please get in touch.
