ABOUT

Hey, im a 40something dude. Looking to join or start a band in Melbourne. Play guitar and bass. Have amassed plenty of pro level gear and can hold a rhythm.

Am a guitarist, and have been playing since i was a teenager. But can and am willing to play bass.

I love the ability for well crafted songs to create textures, space, psychedelics, and themes, and then fitting that all into the shades between ambience and heavy. Im big into ambient, and big into chunky heavy rhythm, and all the spaces in and around that

Have produced many tracks, and love to write. Am not looking necessarily to gig those tracks, but am more looking to write new tracks in a group and gig with likeminded muso's
