SEEKING
Vocalist, Lead Guitar.ABOUT
Bass player, own transport and equipment, seeks band to explore musicality in a relaxed way - happy to gig around Melbourne and beyond, but not looking for world tours. Am involved with a 50s, 60s and 70s band (and more, see http://www.facebook.com/RetrospectiveBandMelbourne) and have organised gigs for other bands at Melbourne venues including the Evelyn, Espy, Bendigo Hotel etc and have been rehearsing with some excellent players for fun. I understand how the local live music scene works. Interested primarily in making enjoyable sounds and giving the best possible musical entertainment experience for the punters, on the basis that if they like it, it's worth doing, and it's only worth doing if they really enjoy it.
