Singer/ songwriter seeking musicians to start band that will send old wellington into orbit!

I am presently in Wellington till 22nd Feb. Would love to meet someone before I return to South Island. Long term will be moving to wgtn region. I have enough good songs for an album and wrote four new ones last month. I don't want to be part of just another band like a lot of the bands I hear out there who do not inspire me and get me up off my seat in any kind of way... emotionally, spiritually or anything. I want to be part of creating a band that will be very epic! (I.e magnitude of Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Crowded House, R.E.M.) I am not a virtuoso but have stage presence and can sing. Can play rhythm guitar and piano. Live acts I have seen and been inspired by include Nik Kershaw, Radiohead, Marianne Faithfull, Finn Brothers, Eric Clapton. I also like Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, and Sheryl Crow. Other than Radiohead and perhaps Travis (from whom I have only heard maybe two songs) there aren't many new bands I can think of. I hardly listen to new records anymore. I'd rather make something better myself. I'm looking for people with real ambition and drive. I believe delusions of grandeur are the only precipitates of grandeur. I can't stand what I have sofar seen of the 'musician' scene; Parties, smoke, alcohol, loud music (as opposed to quality sound and volume levels that do not insult your ears and cause tinnitus!). I have chronic fatigue/ lyme disease so have to look after my health. Would rather go tramping than hang round noisy bars.
I'm 31 years old and have been songwriting off and on for about 7 years. I've been traveling for years and never played in a band. I perfomed live once at a gig in Austria and a few people said I was the highlight of the evening.

If the above sounds a little like you, or you think you could work with a nutcase like me, give me an email and let's meet up!
