32 yr old guitarist seeking punk rock band in Auckland

Post by Danban »

Hi Guys, I recently emigrated from the Uk and am looking for a punk rock/rock band or like minded people.

I am 32 years old.

I have decent gear and transport.

Influences include: Face to Face, Rise Against, Bodyjar, Frenzal Rhomb, Clutch, Descendents, Lagwagon, Belvedere, A Wilhelm Scream, Cola Wars, Strung out, no use for a name, Samiam etc.

Based in Auckland

Cheers

I don't know any of the bands you quoted so that makes me 'unlike minded'. But welcome anyways.

It is not what you play or how you play it, just shows us pics of your gear.

JB will introduce himself shortly....

Welcome.

And I’ll be honest, I read ‘from UK’ and ‘punk’ and feared I was going to be reading a ‘Anyone want to start NZ’s You me at Six?’ thread...!

Nice, those are not punk rock guitars at all. Are you sure that is what you play? :-)

They appear to have strings, frets, a neck,body and pickups. Sufficient for punk I'd have thought.
