ABOUT

**ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR MUSICIANS AS OF 20/11/2023 - PLEASE CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED - ON 0402497526**

Hi, My name is Sean and I am 35 years old. I have been playing Guitar since 2001 (age 13) and during this time , have picked up Drums and a small amount of Piano/Keyboard as well (but I don't really play that much compared to the others) and most recently I have made the switch to a 6-String Bass to begin a new phase of musicianship.

I have started a project with myself and a drummer and we are both looking to find other musicians to make something Garage/Grunge/Heavy sounding (Bands such as Helmet, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Incubus, Early Silverchair, Motorhead and RATM 1st Album) as a base with added in Guitar Harmonies like (Metallica and Iron Maiden Style).

Looking for like-minded people who want to do what's best for the music, enjoy each other's company as well and who have mostly similar tastes/influences so writing styles don't cancel each other out.

I prefer to Play Bass and possisbly do Vocals for this idea (In a Lemmy/Motorhead kinda role) but am also open to playing guitar as well as I have the equipment and ability to play either. (Bass would be easier for me if I am doing vocals).

I am only willing to be in a group with people who share the following sentiments:

- Understand that it is ok to be friends/communicate/socialise outside of normal rehearsals/gigs/promotional stuff (it's heavily encouraged)
- Must be comitted to the band and it's success
- Have previous live experience (even if its only a few gigs, just some form of conditioning).
- Be willing to contrbute creativlely
- Be willing to share costs of rehearsals/promotional stuff once agreed upon as a collective
- Treat each other respectfully and not be a dick.
- Knows the difference between wanting success and trying to attempt world domination (obviously the latter is unrealistic)

I have a lot of experience in recording and performing live, having been in previous bands "Imperatore", "From Here On In" and In My Defence" and with more recent experience having played at both the Stomrider Heavy Metal Festival and Electric Eye Heavy Metal Festival in 2023. I also studied Audio Engineering previously for 2 years at SAE in Perth between 2007 and 2009.

There are 4 tracks below to show a range of what I can create.
- Project Song 1, 2 & 3 are all ideas for this project that I have written (though always open for more people to write stuff if they join too)
- "In The Past" by From Here On In - I was a founding member and Lead guitarist of this band. This track is from our EP "Defiance" released in 2018. On this track, I played/recorded all Guitar Parts, Drums and Lead Vocals.
