Mikk Paasuke + Musician in Hawthorndene, SA

ABOUT

[November 2024 update - no longer looking any projects at the moment, thanks!]
I am a bass player of ~35 years with many gigs in Australia and the EU (Estonia + Finland), and experience across a number of genres (blues, funk, stoner rock, jam bands, covers, wedding bands etc). There is a sample of tunes I've played on here:
https://soundcloud.com/ozmike
... and you can find bands or projects I've played on under Spotify eg "Kaibald" (blues/western), Neon Machine (as producer/co-songwriter) and Rhythmic Bits (producer). I also started and managed an Estonian-based Aussie rock covers band 'Divine Animals'; see video link for a few songs from one live gig.

While bass is my main instrument I can double on (basic) keys and backing vocals. I'm reliable, easy to work with, dedicated and friendly ... and would prefer new band mates are also. Life is too short to mess around! :)

Looking to play bass and possibly keys with an organised and already functional band, or otherwise a project that is pretty much exactly my preference (blues/rock/jam band).
