General Music Chat

Upon visiting the many websites here on the net... I notice the amazing quantity of musicians looking for work. Many individuals are signing up on sites hoping to achieve a gateway to their next band environment.... and hopefully ... their next gig as well. Though these sites are of great value to musicians... overall... they offer a limited service. The sites will allow for a market where musicians can come together and create amongst themselves opportunities... but ... they don't however offer a system of bringing together these musicians on a production basis. Another words... these sites don't as well offer the employment itself.

Triadster Records is currently reviewing the option of adding a "Musicians Employment" service site to our already existing Official Website to offer musicians that extra edge in getting themselves employed in their current field of skills.

Many times in the past Triadster Records has overlooked a Vocalist standing on his/her own without a band. It was agreed that this vocalist had some great talent.... however... the task of organizing a band for this vocalist is very time consuming... and sometimes very costly. There are many vocalists who are standing alone without a single band member to back them up. Some of these vocalists are very talented. The minute Triadster Records decides to sign one of them.... an instant need is created for a Lead Guitarist, Rhythm Guitarist, Keyboardist, Drummer.... etc.

Today Triadster Records is in need of 4 band members in the Florida area. The search efforts for these band members has been very tiring.

Most often Triadster Records has to take the time to post ads on various websites looking for this musician or that musician, and .... also consider paid ads for offline services in the area of the vocalist. A month of productions can easily be lost just in the search efforts of finding a Drummer.... or a Bassist for the Vocalist. In short... Triadster Records will often (not always) stray from representing sole vocalists... as we find it more productive to acquire those who are ready to go.... bands ... who are complete.

It is our reasoning that... if Triadster Records had its own database of musicians... we could build bands from scratch based on simply having members looking for work in the same general area. Not only could Triadster Records bring together these individuals... but ... sign them to a production contract as well. They won't just find a band to jam with... but also... they'd score a Production Deal at the exact same time.

Vocalist are very important to a Label... without them... there isn't anyone to sign and produce. Musicians are just as important... as without the muscians... there isn't much sense of signing a vocalist.

In overview... the option to adopt a "Musicians Employment" service is currently being considered... and may be integrated into our current services in as soon as February 9. This opportunity for vocalists/musicians will be (upon integration being accepted) offered on a monthly membership basis at $9.95/month (USD). Membership fees collected will fund production contracts for those hired through the service.

Please feel free to offer your feedback. Thank you....

I'm not being an ass or anything, but I'm not sure if you're allowed to advertise your paying site on here. I've been in forums where it's against the rules of posting.
Either way, good luck.

I understand what you are saying... and thank you for your comments.

The above posting... is not just some.... "PaySite" posting hoping to rake in cash off of a bunch of people. Triadster Records is trying to organize "real" opportunities for people with the right ambitions and skills.

I see many musicians on sites paying a membership fee and ... they receive in return for that membership fee.... the use of the site and its social networking opportunities. This is great.... and of importance to musicians.... I agree.

However... Triadster Records is hoping to take that same membership fee... toss it all in a hat... and use it to "spend back" on the musicians. Thus creating a site where the membership fees produces real careers for the very members paying the membership fee.... a system that "creates" your next job.

I posted the above listing because... it is a benefit to musicians. I assumed that is what this site was about... posting ideas and opportunities for musicians.

Yes... the above explains a "PaySite". However... a PaySite for "who"? I see it as a PaySite for musicians.

Is it against the site's rules to post an opportunity for musicians to obtain employment and earn money?

I certainly do apologize if the posting has caused confusion....

In respect to the site's rules... and not wanting to infringe upon them... i'll run along and see about organizing the "Employment Services" without further notifications.....

..... Should you happen to visit the Triadster Records Official Website in the future by chance... and find the service comfortable for you... great. If not... thats great as well.

I thank you for your time... hope you have a great day...

I would hope that in the interest of a singer, you could use the services of bandmembers of existing bands in the singer's area. In other words...Singer X lives in Bumflook, Fla, & the band ABC is there, as well. Use those bandmembers to help record a CD for X, & hopefully, upon release, it will generate interest by other musicians to join up with X in future projects. As long as it's established at the outset that this project is a one-time thing, the band shouldn't need to break up, the singer gets his CD release party that ABC gets to open for, & everyone wins, theoretically, if the material by both acts is up to snuff.

Pro's do this kinda thing all the time. Paula Cole toured with Peter Gabriel even though she had a CD of her own out there. Kate Bush worked on a tune with him in the studio.

Anything to get the music & the talent exposed is worthwhile, imho.

Most recording studio's allready do this. Back in the old day's I would do a lot of session work and was registered with several studio's this is another of the many ways for full time musicians to find paying work.
Gigs, teaching, substitute for pick up gigs, and recording session work, If you are good enough the studios will call you a lot.

Yeah, it just seems like he's too concentrated on creating a band around the singer, and not so much on getting his artist's work & talent out there, somehow. It seems to be a closed-minded approach, to me.

I've done some session work, too. It's a blast when it all comes together.

I wouldn't say that I was limiting the idea to any one context... and of course I am open to many different approaches.

Most times its easier to begin with the vocalist... and build from there than it is to grab a bassist or drummer and build a band from just that person.

However... as was pointed out... producing bands or CDs... etc... can be achieved in a number of different ways.....

I'm always open to options.
