Thanks for all the replies folks.
Looks like i caused a bit of a stir in some quarters
Anyhow after being registered on this site for over 5 years & trying to build a band from scratch for the last 2 years, i have to say it is much much easier to join someone else's band than make your own!!
Yes i agree, getting out there in open mic's is great & you can hook up with good muso's but mostly they are already doing so many other projects etc and so whilst its fun it aint the place to get a new band members.
Jackie shame you a little too far away
Squirrel you're NOT too far away But peeps are right you do need to give it more time than one month.
I bit the bullet & have a yearly subscription (when you think about 30 quid or whatever it is, isnt that much!)
However, i stand by what i said previously..... there are plenty here who simply dont answer when you contact them & I still dont know whether it's rudeness or something else. All i know is that anytime people contact me, i always respond whether in the positive or negative.
In response to 1 or 2 comments about having sample tracks & contact details, my page has always had these & hopefully they are not too dreadful as to put everyone off lol
And one other thing, i'm NOT sniping at BandMix. I think it's a great site & well laid out etc, so well done to BandMix
Anyway gripe over, out to see a local band tonight!!!
