I'm not into chasing the Rockstar dream. But I do love playing local gigs and if theres a weekend trip to a gig out of town, I'm into that. I'm also into just jamming for fun with no gigs.
I play guitar and sing...and that's the kind of gear that I have, but I'm also an accomplished drummer and if there's an opportunity to switch things up a bit during a jam, I'm all over it as long as there's a kit around.
I'm interested in doing a couple of things:
#1 I need to play punk rock. Everything from old 70's rock n roll style punk (dead boys, ramones) to slick polished faster skate punk (nofx, lagwagon) and a little bit of ska/punk (sublime, choking victim) never hurt anybody...there could also be some slightly heavier stuff in there (big thrash/classic metal fan) I want to play all kinds of great covers, plus I have a ton of originals that are really fun to play. This is the kind of music I need to play to make my soul feel right..please help. I'm looking to either start a band with the right players or jump into a project that could use me.
#2 Theres nothing wrong with playing bar/cover tunes that drunk people love to hear and dance to. Those gigs tend to be more regular and pay a little better.
I'm 29 years old, and I'm up for playing with just about any age. The big thing for me is listening during a jam and not just wanking all the time with guitar solos or incessant drumming. Taking the time to figure out parts, and rehearse efficiently. I've been in lots of bands and a little professionalism goes a long way. Not saying it has to be boot camp..just not into wasting time.
