Hey,


I'll be relocating to Victoria at the beginning of September and I will be remaining there for the long haul.

I've got a couple of basses, a rig, and a van...so I'm set to go....and I get 5 days off after every 4 day work rotation.

Now...what I'm looking for is either a band looking for a bassist or some musicians wanting to get something going. I'm game for either situation....

Music styles I'd be into playing....garage, psychobilly, punk/hardcore, industrial, goth, dub, electro-rock, metal ala Kyuss, or straight up rock like those Scandinavian fiends Turbonegro!

If this sounds appealing to anyone...give me a shout.

~Cheers

Cheers to everyone for the replies so far!!!

Danny Silverfish- Rad animated picture...it kinda' reminded me of Lupo the Butcher... As for playing Death/Metal/Thrash I'd have to say that I'm not too interested...but thanks anyways dood.

Matthew- I checked out your website and your audio samples, and I must say I was pretty impressed. "I like the Pane," is a great song...but overall I don't think I'd mesh too well into the overall sound of the band. It's perhaps a little too mellow for me...

SublimeKid- I'm an old old old rotten bastard...~lol~ If age is relevant in your musical world, I'm 32 years young...

Again if anyone is in need of a bass player and has one of the following musical styles in mind, give me a shout...

....garage, psychobilly, punk/hardcore, industrial, goth, dub, electro-rock, metal ala Kyuss, or straight up raunch rock like those Scandinavian fiends Turbonegro!

My work schedule gives me 5 days off after every 4 days of work...so I have lots of time to jam, tour, etc...

Any other takers??? I know Victoria is filled with some amazing musical talent... - Wed, 17 Aug 2005 1:42am

You know the sound...but being 32 you are probably about 600 times better than us...I'm 22 years young.. - Wed, 17 Aug 2005 3:55pm

Hey SublimeKid,

That's kewl that you play a mixture of dub and punk...sounds pretty sweet. And regardless of age or experience...I'd still be into jamming...if you are?

Hey, Shwan, keep me in mind for vocals and second guitar. Just keeping my name in the mix, 'cause I get a good vibe off you (and I'm 36, so you can't be ageist). I know Nick (Nuts, above) pretty well, definitely give him a call. - Fri, 26 Aug 2005 9:12am
