SEEKING
Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Name is Tim Becker. I'm originally from Chicago Heights. I have been a bassist now for 12 years. I have played in a variety of bands, and have toured with several more. I have opened up for and toured with metal bands such as Trivium, Escape the fate, Pop Evil, Hawthorne Heights, and many, many more. I am looking for a band that is committed to the fullest, and wants this kind of life style as much as I do. I love music, I do not b.s. I am a steel worker, and I work from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mon-Fri, and we don't have a night shift, and I'm off weekends. Dream come true right? lol So I am almost always available. I practice between 2-5 hours daily.
I have been playing in progressive bands for the most part, and I originally started out playing thrash (like most everyone else who love metallica. lol) I have played in a band called Killing Sara, the there was Apokolipz, then Oceanborn, and Tattoo The Devil, then The Infinity Complex, as well as False Hope Fades for a little bit, Comfort scarcity, A Murder of Crows, My Superhero Life, and my last group Scarsin.
