    Hey Tony
    Mid 20s playing bass a long time ,just finished up with a band recently like your influences especially some of the 70s music and Wilco,who are a top band Yankee Foxtrot Hotel one of my favourite albums ever.Would be very interested in meeting i know its very hard to come across bassists these days so would be willing to give it a go.
    Just a few questions ?
    1.Where and when do you jam / rehearse.
    2.Is this a serious project ie EPs Gigs ,possible album.
    3.are songwriting duties open to all ( because i can write a little )

    Sorry about all the SILLY questions.I live on the northside which should be convenient to all .
    Thanks Neonlight

    we rehearse sundays at the moment but we'll be rehearsing twice a week in 3 weeks time-in fact we're jamming this sunday and we need a bass player for then we're just going back to the drawing board with songs and stuff,we rehearse in dublin city, we want to get an e.p together and get gigging but want to be realistic about it-ie become a tight unit with songs we're all comfortable playing-songwriting duties are open-
