  • About Rock'n'Roll Hermit

  • Vertically challenged. Aesthetically disadvantaged. Conservatively-dressed. Cranky. Pretentious. Short-haired. Rock. GOD.
    A novice rock'n'roll vocalist, who hopes one day to be able to sing at a performance level - without actually having done anything in the way of formal training.
    I also play electric guitar and bass guitar, pen the odd lyric, hope one day to learn the oboe and have a strong interest in music production and audio engineering (although I lack all but the most rudimentary technical knowledge).
    In short, I suck, but I would love to join a band! Preferably a hobby or locally-oriented band, but I'm open to more serious stuff as well. I just can't guarantee that I'll be anything but an inept, pretentious, creatively arid liability. But if you're just looking for someone to jam, yarn and/or write with on a more casual basis, I would love to hear from you.
    Live easy. Die old. Rock hard.

  • Equipment I Own
    As I'm not in a band at the moment, I spend too much money on CDs to take any pride in my gear. I'm ready and willing to change that, however...
    -ESP LTD EC-100QM Eclipse electric guitar (stock pups and hardware) -Ibanez Soundgear 5-string electric bass guitar (not sure of the model, bought it second-hand via EBay) - Boss BR-900CD digital studio recorder - Behringer 20w powered studio monitors
  • When Am I Available
    At the moment, it's a bit variable - weekends are generally good, as are weeknights (depending on distance).
  • How Far Will I Travel
    More or less anywhere in Sydney, depending on my timetable.
  • Favourite 3 Musicians/Bands
    The Maiden, the Tull and the holy Floyd comprise my holy trinity.
    I also love Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Nick Drake, Metallica, the Doors, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Anthrax, Motorhead, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Opeth, Steely Dan, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, System of a Down, Bob Dylan, John Coltrane, Radiohead, Slayer, Judas Priest, Midnight Oil, Pestilence, the Dead Kennedys, Morbid Angel, Tool, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Shostakovich, The Moody Blues, Yes, Alice in Chains, John Lee Hooker, the Doobie Brothers, Accept, Faith No More, In Flames, Nick Drake, Bathory, Billy Joel, Frank Zappa, Ornette Coleman, Nine Inch Nails, Amon Amarth, Swans, Dark Order, Cog, Dismember, Mozart, Testament, Fantomas, Cannibal Corpse, Miles Davis, The Mars Volta, (pre-Rob Dukes) Exodus, (early) Fear Factory, Irreversible, Clutch, Virgin Black, Carcass, Armored Saint, Queen, NOFX, Skyclad, Primus, Suffocation, Prince, Hail of Bullets, Therion, Unleashed, Thin Lizzy, the Beasts of Bourbon, Ice Cube, Death Angel, Death, Nirvana, Billy Bragg, Napalm Death, Sigh, Lenny Kravitz, Cradle of Filth, Cathedral, Sigur Ros, the Misfits, Sabbat, Cream, Nevermore, Neil Young, Dark Angel, 10cc, Crowbar, Mastodon, Venom, Bob Marley, Akercocke, Mithras, the Clash, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Lamb of God, Santogold, Bolt Thrower, the Smashing Pumpkins, Rick Springfield, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bloodbath, the Haunted, Celtic Frost, the Who, Deep Purple, Necrovation, The Flaming Lips, Living Colour, the Angels, Godflesh, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sonny Rollins, John Martyn, Execration, Deftones, Sepultura, Onslaught, Devo... etc. Anything with brains, guts, and/or riffs of sufficient heaviness to result in implosion of the aforementioned, is right down my alley.
