We are looking for exactly what you advertised, and our sound is a cross between the 70's early metal and 80's new wave. I am nearly 41 and one guitarist is close to 40, so we're contemporaries. I think that matters to some degree for an ease of communication. You can listen to our demo at www.bandmix.com/troublebell. I live in Port Washington, but we will most likely rehearse in the Garden City area and play gigs in Manhattan. I do have real booking contacts for downtown bars/clubs. Please share a link to your playing if you like our sound and are interested. Thanks, Brad
I'm 49, over 27 yrs exp., play on vintage equipment, and a Straight up Rock Bassist (No Jazz) that knows his role in a band : when to lay back ( Donald the "Duck" Dunn), and when to step-up (John Entwistle). Been playing for over 25yrs, was in too many bands to count..I sing Garage/Rock "crowd pleasers" like "Substitute","Satisfaction",'I'm 18",ect and do them justice!(but am by no means a front man or want to be one) I am currently looking for a Classic Rock cover band (only!).Would like to join a ready,or as close to READY TO PLAY OUT Band situation as possible. I'm well versed in rock'n Roll circa 1955 - 1980 ("Chuck Berry to the Sex Pistols"). This is what I do,with some group examples : Old style Black Blues (Muddy Waters , Howlin Wolf etc.. ), 50's Rockers (Chuck Berry,Bo Diddly, Buddy Holly Eddie Cochran) Stax/Motown ( Temptations,Sam&Dave etc...), British Invasion (Animals Early Kinks/Who/Stones etc...,) Folk Rock (Dylan, Donovan,Byrds,CS&N) 60'sSurf (Trashmen,Safaries,Dick Dale, Ventures,etc...), 60's Garage Music ( Sonics,Standells, Troggs) 60's &70's Classic Rock, (Pink Floyd,Doors, CCR,Beatles, New Stones,Dylan,Hendrix/Cream,etc...70's Southern Rock,( Allmans,Skynerd,Eagles Marshal Tucker,etc...70's Hard Rock (Black Sabbath,Mountain,Deep purple,Humble Pie,etc...70's Punk (Iggy & the Stooges,Clash Ramones,Sex Pistols), & some 80's New Wave (Blondie,Devo, B52's,etc...) Some 80's & 90's OK
*Very Important : Please read!: No Jazz/Fusion, No extremely "Mellow"Rock, No Wedding bands, No Calypso, No Dance Bands, No 'Big Hair 80's Metal or an exclusive 90's band *My Location: Nassau County . As far as rehearsal locations:- Nassau County/Eastern Queens/Western Suffolk: Good! Eastern Suffolk /Western Queens/Brooklyn/NYC: Not Good!
