Hairy rock bloke, fresh back in the UK, seeks band!

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]So, I'm back in the UK after 5 years of exile in Bumblef**k, USA. And, guess what, I'm looking for a band... [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Let's get the usual spiel out of the way - great gear, fretted/fretless, transport, can do fingerstyle/pick/slap/whatever, commitment, image, etc all present and correct. Influences from Meshuggah to Miles Davis, Jane's Addiction to Joni Mitchell, Devin Townsend to David Sylvian, Tool to Take That. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]OK, maybe not Take That.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I like heavy guitars, long solos, good songwriting, talented singers and a bit of proggy weird widdly-diddlyness. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I'd prefer to play with older, 30+ guys who aren't desperate for that whole being signed malarkey - been there, done that, got a box of screen-printed T-shirts, and not all that interested in going there again. Let's write some cool tunes, gig them all over the place, throw in the odd ironic cover, do lots of recording, release stuff on the internet guerrilla-style, and tweet a lot. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I'm based in Croydon (yeah, I know), and I'd prefer to play with local guys - not got all that much time to commute to rehearsals, so if you rehearse at Scream or Rockbottom, I'm in. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Anybody? [/size][/font][/color]
