I'm a 20 year old male and I attend the University of Auckland. I'm looking for others who are keen to get together and make some music. I am by no means a musician but I like to throw out a note and have some fun with it, are there any others out there who are in the same boat from around the Auckland area?

Cheers

Djembe player just off tour - just moved to Auckland

I just moved to NZ and looking for gigging bands or singer songwriters that want to gig.

I've been playing professionally in Hawaii for a few years and have toured Mexico and just toured New York in June (22 gigs in 25 days).

I find the djembe works well with acoustic guitars, but can play with anything (aside from death metal)...

Basically surfy styles, marley, jack johnson, sublime, old reggae, new stuff, even hip hop...

Looking to be gigging soon. Hit me up if you wanna jam.

Check out youtube.com/nickkickstand for some examples of my style.

Aloha!
