Bass Guitarists Wanted Near You

About me: I'm a singer and literate/original lyricist (if I do say so myself!) seeking an ambitious dynamic guitarist/tunesmith to interpret original songs with and then form a band.

Song subjects are mostly Leeds-centric and/or personal with no love songs or someone left me songs. Subjects slide from Sutcliffe to Savile with Bar Phono, county lines, everyday trans lives, pointless politicians, over sexualised internet sadness and the silliness of organised religion just some of the topics.

I'm looking for someone who loves Johnny Marr, Kevin Shields and Joey Santiago.

The song backings I made are quite experimental musically (lots of samples, effects and strings), I want to turn them into guitar, keys, bass and drums based songs that can be played live and recorded as a new album, if that sounds of interest then get in touch and I can send links.

Influences I'd like to head towards are The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine and the Pixies but formulating some new musical medicine along the way and distribute to the morose masses.

I'm in the Leeds area, it would be good if you were too!

Yours ambitiously,

Mark

About me: I’m a lead vocalist with a strong n powerful voice. I’ve been told I have the same style of voice n singing to the likes of Amy Winehouse - who has been a major influence to me. I’ve mainly sang in pubs n at open mics with various musicians who are already part of a band, n would now like to get something established for myself. I’ve also sang at the cockpit n different clubs in Leeds. Aside from Winehouse I would describe Alicia Keys (earlier material), Bruno Mars, and Paloma Faith as musical influences. I adore the 60’s era n powerhouses such as Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke n the Ronettes. ‘Wall of Sound’ by Phil Spector has played a major part in my early introduction to music. I do also love Bruce Springsteen, Kings of Leon and various other rock n roll artists. I’m listening to a lot of Sam Fender at the moment. Really I’m looking for that big sound that knocks you off your feet. If this resonates with you n you think it’s something you’d be interested in then please send a message! Cheers, Amy
