The Twitch

I heard the Twitch sold 76 albums at their gig last night! Awesome going guys and gal! :-) Mark says he had fun doing the lights, coz he knew all the twitch songs on the album off by heart, and was able to do the lighting in sync with that.

Singer/Songwriter Looking for band members...

opps, forgot that details :-) Thanks for pointing that out :-)
I live in Auckland.

Singer/Songwriter Looking for band members...

Okay, I've got a drummer, so all I need to complete the "possible band" lineup is a guitarist and a bassist... and possibly a keyboardist. Some demos of my songs are available to be listened to on myspace... http://www.myspace.com/dragonorchid
my stuff is fairly pop Rock, so if you liked the 80s, ballads, Santana, corrs first album, Sade... you'll hopefully like it (not that I can sing like her,.. man, I wish!... I'm more of a hobby songwriter than a singer... but I might as well give it a go). I'm really looking for pro musicians looking for something fun to do in their spare time. being able to improvise and play by ear would be beneficial as I'll have demos that you can listen to, but I'm open to some improvisational input/jamming jazz/funk styles too... but I can also give you chord sheets if you need/want them too. If we all gel, I'll probably write songs with you too...

If you are interested you can contact me through myspace or through The Rock Factory link below:
