Heya,

I'm a singer songwriter, 29 years old. 15+ years experience in bands and writing music. Have a lot of decent commerciallyl viable material - have dabbled in this and that from time to time, won Young Performers Scholarship (Recording Industry of NZ) back in 2000 but to date haven't done much more than a few rough recordings and a whole bunch of free gigs at weddings etc.

2012 I've decided is the year to make things happen.

My style is fairly broad I guess, some of my influences range from Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Eric Hutchinson, Xavier Rudd, Lior, to things like Pearl Jam, Matchbox 20, Live, Nirvana… etc etc. So can’t say I can put my music into a neat little labeled box… who would want to though, seriously?

I’m a bit of a hippie in some ways, fairly spiritual… (though definitely not away with the Faeries!) I believe in energy flowing through music, all music, and so want to always be conscious of the energy I’m putting out into the world. Not that every song is all fairytales and rainbows (considering a lot of my older stuff is very male Alanis Morrisette haha) but just something I’m aware of and so I guess would love to be connected with like minded people, so the same kind of buzz, journey, adventure. Hopefully that makes sense.

Everything happens for a reason – so I trust the right people will see this and get in touch

Check some of my RAW recordings, to see if you like what I’m all about, at www.youtube.com/blaircoates

Got the most amazing drummer (though he plays everything under the sun and sings and writes music also) joining me over the next month or so, he’s one of my best mates, so at this point I think specifically looking for lead gat and bass… but honestly, open to WHOEVER thinks they might feel like getting in touch.

Cheers everyone.

Peace

Blair

Hey Richard, cheers heaps for msg. Didn't know I had one, just came onto this site today out of interest again as thought any messages would have automatically gone to my email - not so!

Anyway, I'll check out your myspace page tonight when I get home as I can't access that here at work.

Thanks again, talk soon

Blair

Hi Richard, love your enthusiasm - unfortunately this weekend I am away for a friends wedding up in the Far North. I did have a listen to a few of your songs and I guess you are right when you said perhaps not quite the same 'vibe' as my stuff. I did like your guys sound, just quite a bit heavier than what I tend to write/play. Not sure if my voice would suit?

Hope you have some awesome auditions on Sat - you guys set up a youtube account yet? You should for sure - MySpace kinda got left in the dust a bit. Be keen to hear more stuff from you guys

Hey Blair! I'm Jo-Ann, 18 years of age ^-^ I sing, play the guitar, drums and a little keyboard and sax. I listen to a huge range of music, excluding heavy metal, hardcore, deathcore, metalcore etc (Just don't enjoy such intensity!). I enjoy listening to classic rock, jazz, indie, folk, acoustic, electronic, rock, reggae and synth-pop.

My playlist(mainly, but not limited to):
Amy Winehouse, Animal Collective, Arcade Fire, Artisan Guns, Beirut, Bloc Party, Bob Marley, Connan Mockasin, Crystal Castles, CSS, Die Antwoord, Fat Freddy's Drop, Florence + the Machine, Freelance Whales, Gorillaz, The Horrors, Jimi Hendrix, Katchafire, The Kills, KOL, Klaxons, LCD Soundsystem, Lykke Li, M.I.A, The Naked and Famous, Neon Indian, Radiohead(of course), Santogold, Sigur Ros, The Strokes, Tame Impala, Toro Y Moi, Vampire Weekend, The XX, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yeasayer and many others.

Like you, I'm a little bit of a hippie I guess! It's funny that you say you sound kind of like a male Alanis Morissette. Someone has compared my voice to hers! Anyway I don't know if I'm the person you're looking for, but if it sounds like I could have some input to this project, definitely let me know!
