Band to Join.ABOUT
John has toured from his school days with his High School band to copy bands that played Classic Rock to Country with his most recent an Alternative Rock Band "Pan Out Now". Pan Out Now Played from a 4/4 tempo to an odd time signature structure of music, you can well imagine the difficulty in playing an odd time signature with all the songs the band had on their list of original songs. I had the pleasure of going to all the local gigs and the cross border gigs that were in Buffalo NY. When band members from the bands playing the same gig come up to the bass player and want to shake his hand and tell him, "Hey Man, YOU were the star of the show" or "Hey man, you out played your band members. Well I think this says how good a musician really is.
I have included a track off the last CD John cut with his old band. John is a multi-talented muscian as John's brothers and himself had their own recording studio as well as regular day jobs. With the changing technology it was getting to costly and they ended up shutting down. They still have their own equipment and still dabble in the recording aspect of music but for their own work now. John did provide the recording equipment for his last band he was in and they recorded 2 CD's with John's equipment.
The song Aspirite is from the latest CD and I picked this track as you can hear the bass loud and clear as well as the effects run by the bass player.
If you are a very young band, you are more than likely looking for a bass player that jumps all around the stage, John is a Professional Bass player and very seasoned and is looking for a more mature band, one not concerned with his age but more looking for the best they can find.
Good Luck in Your Search...

Aspirite
Aspirite Year: 2007 Album: Aspirite Genre: Alternative
Each member of my old band were responsible for writing the music for their own instrument. This song is called Aspirite where I had to use MIDI Peddles for the different sounds like the siren you hear.
