    Hey, I'm looking for a Drummer and Bass player to jam and eventually form a 3-piece to gig.

    I'm in South Dublin and have my own transport, so the whole Dublin area works. I'm in my mid 30s and open to any age as long as you love music and to be in a band and want to gig. I have a good grasp of guitar with 20+ years of playing in different genres. I also have experience with gigs and producing my own music.

    Eventually I want to gig (up to) once a week and rehearse once a week. This works for me alright as I have a day job.
    I'm not talking about a professional band, but a solid and great sounding band nevertheless.
    Own material is also welcome and I'd be happy to contribute.

    I'm thinking something along the lines of popular Rock / Alt Rock / Nu Metal of 2000s - 2010s.
    The goal is to play relatively simple, groovy and energetic music that kicks ass live and is pleasant for a listener. So it's not very underground and it's easy to land a good gig.

    Think of a lineup that could include Linking Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Alter Bridge, Nirvana, SOAD, Rage Against The Machine etc.. [put your own here too].

    How I see roles:
    My role - I'm a rhythm / solo player and like to rap over riffs (and the goofiness of it). I can rap and do BVs and potentially sing some songs (I'm still learning to sing properly). We could find a vocalist if we need to.
    Bass player - in a 3 piece you have a lot of freedom for arrangements and playing more. Full freedom as long as it sounds great and grooves. If you are a singer that's great too!
    Drummer - same here. full freedom, the main thing is good sound and groove / time.

    I can provide links to demos of me playing and rapping that were recorded in one take no edits.
    (Boards doesn't allow me to paste links unfortunately… PM me for demos - these are public)

    Ready-to-go menu to jam:
    Aerials (SOAD), Californication, Under the Bridge, Can't Stop (RHCP), Bombtrack (RATM), All the Small Things, Adam's Song (Blink 182), Rape Me, In Bloom (Nirvana), Break Stuff (LB), Between Angels and Insects (Papa Roach).
    I can learn 2 songs of your choice one week before the agreed date.

    Dm me if you are interested.
