Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

We found a bass player within a week.

Wow! Good for you, Dan!

Thanks Phil, and thanx bandmix!

It has not. ;__;

Sorry the site hasn't worked for you yet Cretindilettante, give it time and don't give up. Please don't be offended, but maybe try a different music approach. Don't get me wrong either I like Fugazi, Ministry,Uzi,Nailbomb,etc. But that genre really isn't THAT popular any more. You might get a few more bites in your area if you diversify a little. And if you enjoy that style so much then stick to it, just consider the advice. Good luck....

Wow, my parents (retired) live in Boynton Beach. Had to visit them a few times last year, my father was very ill. Got to go back in a few months. Are you gigging yet?

Not yet but lucky for us the guy we found has alot of drive. Not only is he learning the songs we have down, but bring more material to the table. I like that enthusiasm, READY TO ROCK and keep the ball rollin'! I'll post the venue when we get a gig..

Drummer:
Contacts that resulted in gigs:
Multiple friends whom have given me great advice, technical information, hours of entertainment and a set of badass tubes for my amp.

Same deal here, and my music probably isn't even as experimental as yours. I'm betting it's because I live in Maine.

Of course, I haven't really done anything except post twice and have my band's page up. Hmm...

I'm not musically talented enough yet to be very experimental. Most of the stuff I have been working on is just drone or dark ambient/sound collage type stuff. Once I can afford a full sized keyboard I can continue to practice and study the more musical side of things, but until then I just cut up and rearrange sounds.

I do a lot of dark ambient as well, actually. I just mix it with other things.

A bit of a pointless thing for me to say, but I enjoy finding common ground with other musicians.

Do not be discouraged:
It took nearly a year of near daily searches to bid our band.
Use the search function Luke !!

I think it's good to create accounts on many sites, make friends, get followers.

Recently, a girl on youtube won a $25,000 record deal. She just had all her online friends/followers vote for her in the twitter competition she was in & she won unopposed.

She's on channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/katem3

& here's another girl about to win her competition unopposed:

Oh well I've met and talked with lots of people on here if its a contest
They all have strange accents however.
