Looking for Pinoy Musicians in Taif / Jeddah

Hello everyone, Al Sallam Malakeum and Kumusta!   :)

I'm an american guy (singer) living in Al Gaim compound (Taif).  I work at one of the Air Defense Academies.

I'm looking to start a band with some local Filipino musicians:
(guitar, bass, keyboards/synth, drums).  Taif, for practice, would be ideal.

I have a practice room.  I will be able to get us onto “good” compounds to play in Taif / Jeddah....maybe some consulates too.

I want to have fun first, but am very particular (perfectionist) and won't go on stage until we're 100% tight with each song.

I have quite a bit of experience as a front man with American, Korean and Thai musicians and have performed in front of 1,000 +.

I want a very unique stage-play (revolving front-men) and back-up singers (female) + true cover band that sounds as close to original band's studio work as possible.

I have direct contact info. waiting for you and 5 proposed set lists...which are open to discussion, deletions and additions.

Have a great day!

Hello ReLLeK,
