ABOUT

Hello, I'm a British guy, just moved over to LA for work (IT nerd at a film Post Production company) currently staying in West Hollywood.

I've played a few hundred gigs in a pub cover band back in the UK on bass and backing vocals. I was also the PA/technical guy. We played the usual stuff - Led Zep, Queen, Foo Fighters, RATM, AC/DC, Rainbow etc..

Juat really miss playing, so hoping to find some folks to either do a similar cover band thing around LA or to join an originals band playing rock/doom or lighter stuff. I miss being in a band with friends as much as playing, so if the vibe is good, I'm happy with most genres.
