LOTS OF WRITING SORRY, GOT CARRIED AWAY
Please read though!

Auckland based, North Shore - guitarist/singer/songwriter.

I posted a message on here a while back but it didn't go anywhere, giving it another shot!

LET'S GET A BAND GOING ALREADY!!!

Been playing guitar for just over a year now and have developed techniques in a range of music styles.
I play everything from Blues to Rock, Metal to Jazz, Indie to Pop.

Really keen to get jamming again after leaving my band Ricochet at the end of last year.

Some gig experience, and am also a guitar tech, performing minor repairs for bands, mates and of course on my own rigs aswell. I have studied music classically for a few years, playing saxophone and guitar.

Very relaxed on stage and will usually dance around to the music while playing, making a bit of a fool of myself

Influences: (this is an extremely limited list, I love everything really!)

Tool!!! HUGE Follower.

AFI, Amy Can Flyy, Arctic Monkeys, Armor For Sleep, Death Cab For Cutie, Eskimo Joe, Flyleaf, Gill Landry, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer, The Last Shadow Puppets, Lenny Kravitz, Marylin Manson, Midlake, Mindless Self Indulgence, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Oasis, Outkast, Panic! At The Disco, Paolo Nutini, Paramore, Pendulum, Prince, The Raconteurs, Rammstein, The Rasmus, Ray Charles, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Steel Panther, Switchfoot, System of a Down, Trivium, The Used, Van Halen, The White Stripes, The Who, Wolfmother, Zed, 30 Seconds to Mars, and MANY MORE!

Don't worry, not a crazy hardout guitarist or anything, just want to get together and have some fun.

Keen for any genres, ask for more details.

Would like to hear from anyone, particularly need:

Drummer
Bassist
Guitarist
Vocalist (Female would be cool! Not enough chicks in bands )
and maybe a Keyboardist? Keys are always fun (I have a vintage Roland, 1980s JUNO synth keyboard kicking around if you want to use that, it's pretty fun to use).

Anyone! Even if you play the sitar, or the spoons, I'll find a place for you in the band

Full rehearsal space (no drum kit though, too poor to justify that our drummer will have to supply their own) with a spare little amp if needed. Beer fridge, noms, couches, pretty lights, etc.

Full recording capabilities (except need to purchase new mic, will do that if I actually get a band going).

live on the North Shore, Castor Bay, so should be reasonably local for many of you.

18, going to Auckland Uni, so if you live more centrally we can always practice at your place after uni or something.

If you're around my age, love music and just want to bash a few chords out and have fun, txt me on 02102993484 or add me on facebook here: www.facebook.com/Calcimoo

Cheers, look forward to hearing from you soon! Yes, you!
