ABOUT

UPDATE 9/2/23

Currently playing lead guitar with a rock covers band - Undercover Blonde. Unfortunately I'm about to start 4 months of intensive training for a significant role change at work with Qantas and am unable to look at any other projects for time being.

Rock on!!
Matt.

Looking to form or join a classic rock / pub rock cover band. While I'm no Malmsteen, Vai or Gilbert, I can bang out a decent enough solo. More than happy to take a backseat if the other guitarist is a guitar-God! I can also do backing vocals with a pretty decent range.

My main goal is to have a lot of fun while playing a full night of 'crowd-pleaser' songs that every one knows and drunk chicks dance to! To be honest, I'm not hugely into making original music, but hey...never say never right?

I'm 53 with a full time job and have transport.

Ideally would like to have rehearsals once a fortnight while practicing at home in the meantime, and gig every 2-3 weeks. Having said that, I'm certainly open to working harder if that's what is required.

You can get me on 0419 837861.
