looking for a band in Dublin...?

    ...ok, here goes....
    I'm 32. I play guitar, pretty well. I sing, also pretty well. I'm not a virtuoso.
    I listen to a lot of varying stuff. I grew up on metal/rock, I write quiet acoustic stuff without actually planning to. I listen to 80's new wave/mutant-disco. I used to be in a slightly grungy, almost-krauty, art rock band.
    I sometimes want to be in a pure Creedence Clearwater tribute band.
    On other days, I want to be a member of Devo. I still listen to Metallica, but only up to "...and Justice...", or sometimes just nice sing-along classics. I wish I could write songs like the Shins. But I want to have the same sound as Josef K.
    Part of me wants to play Thin Lizzy riffs all the time. But I'm not really that kind of guitar player. I'd be better suited to the Cramps. If someone asked me to name a guitar hero, it'd be Nile Rogers. I still think Huey Lewis & the News were underrated. Ditto That Petrol Emotion. I'm in awe of the Velvet Underground, but I still like old Elton John. I love Joy Division, but I'd like to have heard them covering Cheap Trick.
    I think the first 4 Siouxsie & the Banshees albums are ESSENTIAL, I love listening to Joni Mitchell when I'm in the house on my own in the morning, I think everyone should own at least one Misfits album (probably Legacy of Brutality), I can't understand when people say the Smiths are depressing, and I'd like to join or form a band with drums/keys/bass/more vocals, as soon as possible.
    I have my own gear, willing to travel a bit (ie. Dublin). I have no interest in "making it big", purely in writing, weekly rehearsal, doing interesting covers, playing enjoyable gigs and recording whenever. It should be hard work but it's not supposed to be a chore. I have no intention of giving people a hard time over "commitment issues". It's mostly for fun, and a little creative outlet. I leave it up to people to determine for themselves how seriously they want to take it.
    ...although, to be honest, I'd settle for that Creedence tribute, no question.
    If any of this makes sense to anyone (particularly other musicians) please get in touch.

    JOy Division covering Cheap trick.....sounds like something i'd like the sound of.......anyway, i'm a bass player turned drummer and i'm lookin' to expand the noise in some form....for the sheer hell of creating something new. If you wanna leave a Pm with contacts that'd be grand, as they say in some cultures.....

    Rolo.
