SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
[tapping on the mic] Is this thing on??? I'm a bassist and I'm looking for either a full band or an acoustic duo. I don't sing. I'm just here to handle the low end. I show up on time, I learn the songs and I don't drink. My goal is to play gigs, not just jam in the basement.
My song samples are NOT necessarily an indication of the music I'd like to play in the future. They're just samples from a previous band..
