The purpose of these amateur videos is to highlight my guitar playing to demonstrate that I have some competency in music. I am seeking to start or join a rock band in the Austin metro area in Texas focusing on creating and promoting original music. I prefer synth/guitar dominated instrumentation with either female or male vocals. The style of music that I like to play is quite varied and some of this is from 80s bands: Birthday Massacre, Garbage, Pat Benatar, Peter Murphy, Xymox, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Fixx, Rush, the Cars, Ultravox, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Roxette, Berlin, Van Halen, the Scorpions, Billy Idol, Dokken, etc. I know the market in the US is quite limited for this kind of music these days, but there are always possibilities to create something unique in rock music without being too gothic or heavy. Garbage was a good example of a straightforward rock band with good songs - not too heavy and not too soft. I studied music in college and have played the guitar for a long time. After years of doing what I don't love and enjoy the most (working for corporations or trading in the stock market), I want to pursue my dream and achieve some success and enjoyment in a dynamic rock music career before I leave this world. I don't take any drugs and I'm not motivated to musical success in order to have sex with women. Yet, if you can be creative, dedicated, practice and perform effectively and still have these other distractions scattering your energy, then more power to you. I love music and wish to create and perform for a living, and hopefully make a good living doing that and even have the opportunity to play at venues around the world at some point. If you wish to contact me, please send me an e-mail. Thank you for checking out my Youtube videos.
