I came across this old dead thread and thought it might be time to revive it.
Most of you know me as a designer/sculptor for Tiki Farm. But in another life.....
I'm a drummer/percussionist. Before sculpting took over my every waking moment, I was gigging professionally on a regular basis, and now the itch is getting unbearable to start up again. I've played many styles including prog rock, jazz (not that "smooth" garbage),rockabilly, western swing, psych, and even a Hendrix tribute band.
I toured and recorded with Richard Sinclair (ex Hatfield & The North, Caravan)and Pete Bardens (ex Camel). For those of you not famliar, these guys were both very influential in the British progressive rock scene of the late '60s - '70s.
Anyway...I've got the itch again! Anyone doing a Hokey Hapa Haole band that needs some percussion ala Spike Jones??? A Jazzotica combo that needs a voodoo rythmist? A monster-surf-drag band that needs a skin slapper? I'm willing to entertain just about anything as long as it's fun.
I'm in the San Fernando Valley and Mrs. Squid just happens to be a very fine electrical bassist. (and my favorite art groupie). I'm sure she could be recruited as well.
Just thought I'd get the ball rolling and see if there are any like-minded folks out there. Maybe just jam? Who knows.
mriddle are you still out there?
Feel free to PM as I don't watch the boards that closely.

Let me just say that Squid is being a bit too modest here. This guy is probably one of the best drummers out there. A modern day Shelley Manne. I doubt there is anything he could not play!!
We were stunned when he played with us. Our jaws collectively hit the floor, and I am not easily impressed!
