I'm really keen to spark up a band to, at the very least, just jam but would like to make original songs.
The problem is I have yet to see a Northlander [whangarei to be more exact] post for band members.
I'm a guitarist [not the the greatest] but I am constantly coming up with riffs and licks [and the odd lyric] and have a lot of ideas up in my head for songs of different styles.
I would like to try and see, in a band situation, if these ideas would develop into some alright songs.
If there is anybody out there who is open-minded and laid-back yet appreciates good music and keen to make some then mail me at:

...just a couple of quotes to help put things into perspective:

"Determination is the single most important factor a musician can possess nowadays
(it certainly ain't ability, just look at the charts)."

"You've got to be determined. If there was no such thing as music then unquestionably
all the big stars you see today would be successful in some other business." (Columbia)
