Hi all,

I'm new to this site, but find it a great source of information and funny people.

 

I lived in Bangkok for 1and 1/2 years. I am currently living in Northern Ireland and I am indeed from here.

 

Thank god I am returning around June for a long stint in Bangkok. I am going to be studying music production degree at SAE institute(Sukhumvit Soi 3)

 

I would love to start a band as I am really into music and I have played electric guitar for a long time. LOve authentic guitar music with a little mix of whatever else sounds good.

 

I am basically wondering if anybody would be interested in getting into a band or possibly you know people who might.

Something to do a couple a times a week as a bit of social fun,and then see what happens.

 

My influences are Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Stevie Ray, Neil Young and all other great music.

 

I would be looking for a drummer, bass player, possibly another guitar player and a singer, at least to start with. I have a stack of my own material and would be open to playing a mix of covers and any material you may have of your own.

 

Speaking with a "false ego" I would say I am a great guitar player, non-text book style, with my own style, ideas and thoughts on sound. I have gained recognition from the owner of a well known recording studio in the UK.

 

So if anyone is interested or can give me feed back I would be happy to hear from you. Take care and have a good weekend,

Chris.

Take a look at these sites:

The problem is not in joinging or making a band, the problem is making any money out of it. Work permit issues, low pay, competition, etc....

 

Probably easier to make a living as a sound engineer or part time DJ.

 

Cheers!
