Hey thanks for taking a look at my ad!

Im a drummer currently playing in an originals band that just isnt giving me everything I want out of music so its time to look for greener pastures....

I love playing originals and I love playing covers too and to be honest covers are easy plus you have the ability to earn cash playing regular gigs to fund the originals side of things or just some extra cash in your pocket while enjoying playing music!

I have played in many covers and originals bands over the years, one of the covers bands on the cock n bull circuit so Im looking for talented musos with good gear and their own transport and you MUST be reliable. Initially I think the focus will be getting gig ready rather than spending too much time on original songs however I do want to work on original songs too.

About me:
Im 30 and have been playing for around 18 years, I have been in the same originals band for almost 2 years now and it doesnt seem to be progressing fast enough so I am looking at forming a professional team of talented people but without drama, big egos or attitudes that alot of band members tend to have. I want to be part of a team and I just want to have fun playing good music and I want to play live more often, isnt that what music is supposed to be about??

The music: Im into mainly rock music but it depends on the crowd on the night and yes a few of the classics will have to be put into the set cause lets face it, they get the crowd going which = $$ so it will be a new and old mixture of pop, rock, heavy rock etc etc. I know of at least 150 covers that i can play off the top of my head so you will either need to know that many or put the effort into learning at least 80 to start off with as sets can change through the night.

I am a drummer so at this stage I am looking for lead and possibly rhythm guitarists, Bass guitarist, possibly keys and last but not least a Singer (male or female).

Some of my influences are: Foo Fighters, Shapeshifter, Muse, Rage, John Butler Trio, Sublime, Shihad, chillis (old stuff tho),Supergroove, the black seeds, Fly my pretties to name a few

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing what can be created!
