Song Writing Collaboration - pretoria

ChrisParryPhoto

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year to you all!

I am suffering writers block, a bad case! I am looking for someone to collaborate with to finish these songs I have.
Based in Rietfontein, Pretoria.

Drop me a Whatsapp on 0845117736

Cheers, Chris

ChrisParryPhoto Do you have any versions of the song(s) on SoundCloud? Might help you find people who have similar tastes if they can hear the music.

Also, maybe post this request on our WhatsApp group. We've got 8 people on there since starting yesterday, so you might need to wait a month or two for it to grow before asking.

The genre is Blues Rock.
Think Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Black Country Communion.

I don't have any recorded versions of the music yet.

I prefer to sit and write with someone, not sending the music to them and they return it.
Sitting around with Beer/ Coffee and smokes!

I will join the Whatsapp group now.
Thank you

Chris

ChrisParryPhoto sounds awesome but you're pretty far from me and I can't make much noise here.

Shame man! The neighbours like my playing which is always good. The complex is dead quiet without me!

NorioDS

ChrisParryPhoto haha that's great! My wife enjoys my playing but my pets... Not so much ?

If I was in Pretoria I'd be in there in a heartbeat! I know the feeling though...

Thanks wern101. Never had this problem when living in England. Here is a different kettle of fish all together!

ChrisParryPhoto I wonder why? It seems, locally, peeps music mainly within their social circles - mainly word of mouth jams. I'm not any better - real lazzzy, anything beyond 10km's of travel is a bit much for me ?

For me it's procrastination and struggling to be inspired!
I don't mind travelling for rehearsals/ writing sessions but it needs to be for a decent amount of time.
In the band I was trying to put together we could only get together for 2 hours once a week which sucked. The other members had too many other commitments (other bands). For me a good rehearsal is 4hours plus and a writing session is a full day event; if the material is worth it!

Personally the writing sessions go together with the rehearsals, basically people who write with, play with too! All have the same level of commitment to the songs!

Maybe I was just lucky while living in England with the bands I was in there.

Looking for a bassist/ drummer and keys player now to start up again

Anyway, more coffee is needed!

ChrisParryPhoto Maybe I was just lucky while living in England with the bands I was in there.

Perhaps the culture of jamming was different?

Though I venture it had more to do with genre...the rock band(s) I was in were all very jam orientated, we'd spend much of the day jamming, writing and generally messing around while hanging out.

All rather unlike the djent band, which was much like a job.

Good luck pulling it together! ?

Thanks dude.
Fingers crossed!
