This may be some sort of mid life crisis, but I am a professional ex touring, now teaching musician, who finds himself suddenly yearning to start his first ever garage band. I am looking for a drummer and bassist(I dont mind swapping this role with another guitarist) who don't mind singing too. Thinking Jam rather than Hendrix (not that theres anything wrong with him), Talking heads 77, Radiohead, The Shins, Police etc.....


Happy to do a few a covers, but have lots of original songs and would be looking to Jam up some more, plus would welcome others' good originals..


Please dont be too busy (the London disease) to rehearse at least once a week.


Scruffy and fun for sure, but I am looking for musicians of a reasonable standard


I have played more acoustic than electric up to now, so I should then right mix of competent and scruffy too..


Thanks for reading


All the best Dan

Hi Dan


I'm a drummer and guitarist and have been playing for around 30 years (I'm 38). What sort of age are you looking at - not sure if this is too old or too young :P


I've played in bands for years and I'm a huge fan of garage bands - think Deus, Pavement etc.


Happy to do a few covers too.


PM me if you're interested


Andy

Alas I don't have the free time to join in (I'm very keen to start playing more bass again, used to be pretty good but play more guitar these days). But if you get this going and want a local rehearsal space have a look at this place ion Peckham. Very good rates.

Only if you want to use your own amps/kit. I'm usually happier to use whatever gear is at the rehearsal room, leave the car at home and crack open a few beers. Mind you, that could explain why we never really get anything done!


You already get 2 mics thrown into the basic price, which is enough for most people I'd think.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
