machines and dreams

I've been writing my own music since i was 13 a long time i play bass and guitar some keyboards i would love to collaborate with others to write. I've been in 2 bands the first band i played guitar and some bass we did mainly covers of pop and rock songs and some songs provided by me, the band was called The Supernatural we played maybe 4 or 5 gigs.The second band was a 60s cover band i played bass, occasional guitar and backing vocals we played about 10 gigs mainly charity gigs I now concentrate on doing open mics and writing.But would like to start my own band playing my own songs and some covers.
