Funk R&B bassist looking for band or to start one

[Btbp]

I'm late 40s looking for experienced musicians who like the same kind of music, like The Meters, Little Feat, Maceo Parker, Groove Collective, Liquid Soul, Galactic, Martin Medeski and Woods - type music. Ok to throw in a little blues and fusion.

The idea is to create a groove and that it somewhere, rather than just play covers, but to be able to perfectly play the originals to start. Prefer experienced and slightly older players but open to anyone who has a deep background in this kind of music, and can groove.

I have a day job so can practice weekends and some weeknights.

PM me for more, thanks.

just trying to help a kindred soul

hi there,

I'm also a bassist and whos into the same kinda music as you are. Only recently picked up the bass again after 10 years (am 30).

While I've just started a band and am not able to help you directly, I just wanted to pass you a drummer's contact to start you off.

PM'ed you contact of a drummer who's looking to play such music.

It was real hard for me to find ppl who wanna play such music, man, so if I can help a fellow groove-centric bassist, I will! Try advertising on gumtree and craigslist instead of soft. Soft is full of ppl who only wanna play rock; I dont mean to be anti-Singaporeans but there're just not so many locals who dig our kinda music (esp among the younger set). You'll have better luck with the foreigners, esp if you are looking for horn players.

Lemme know when ya band is up and running, man. Must support each other!

Here I am, what you like to play is about sounds pretty cool. I hope u all agree with me. my opinion is to be versatile musician.
not stick to one genre.

I used to rock , metal, jazz, fusion, blues, R&B, rock and roll, new age funky, and much more. I hope my ears still okay to judge the music tunes . that means . every note count valued. will be okay to all kinda music.

I play guitar, and keyboard. and sing too .looking for mature bass player and mature drummer.

We did song that depend on crowds demand, even tamil or chinese song to suit them. we rock the stage if we have to. we jazz the stage if we have to, it is depend what show band we are. we suit it.

The band always have a motive. to place bound for. I used to played at most orchard road pub with the legend bands in order to raised my kids . If u think that suit u. do gimme a call at 81351834.
