SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Bass guitarist (and reformed drummer) based on Sydney’s North Shore. Currently playing in a classic rock covers band, but I’ve got room in the calendar to join a second band or start something new.
Looking to play straight-up, no-fuss, rock, punk, or blues [covers or originals] - High energy music with attitude that sounds best slightly too loud. Hopefully to play great music with good people and maybe go for the occasional beer.
Completed a Cert III and Diploma in Music Performance at Sydney TAFE (2023–24), which means I’ve survived jazz modules and can now use “mixolydian” in a sentence without flinching.
I bring a reliable, collaborative approach to rehearsals and gigs.
