    I too love your influences, getting a new line up of a band called Texas Galaxy together, have drums, guitar, vocals etc, need a good bassist with backup vox, we're all 30s as well so not a bunch of kids.

    Some music here:

    www.robertcrosbie.net/desperate.html

    Tons of material available to play, and one of our members is very active on the gig front in Dublin so we've plenty of contacts. At this stage just looking to do it for fun, sure we could throw in a few covers, but musically we'll be looking back at 90s and 60s influences as well. Grunge is not dead!

    PS I'm based on the northside of Dublin but the others are southside so we'd be jamming in town I guess.

    Hey Kev found this & thought you might be interested.
    Colm.


    We're a new band based in Dublin. We've had to get rid of our original bassist because of commitment issues.

    The band line up is currently a drummer, singer, two guitarists and keyboard player.

    We need a creative and experienced bass player with the ability to put 100% into the band.

    The band has no recordings just yet but to give an idea of the vocals here's a link to the singer's old band's myspace page (the page itself is in bits but the tracks are of a high production quality):

    http://www.myspace.com/littlenightmaremusic

    Also, here is a link to the drummer's old band to give an idea what skill level he is at, etc (the bass on these tracks is also a good indicator of what we'd be looking for in a bass player).

    http://www.myspace.com/theupgrades

    Oh, we're all in and around our mid 20s too.


    Cheers
    -Paul
