I never see gigging musicians threads here. Let's get one going.
>Instrument you play
>Are you in a band?
>What kind of music does your band play?
>What kind of music do you wish you were playing?
Me:
I play bass guitar in a post-punk Americana band. It's cool but I prefer playing R&B/Soul/Funk/Jazz. I was recently in a progressive bluegrass band where I played upright. That was one of the sickest gigs I ever had!

music like jeff buckleys
Everyone on mu is an ambitionless shitter with no skills or talent
>Instrument you play
Guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals- everyone in the band is a multi-instrumentalist and we all write so we switch around between songs a lot
>Are you in a band?
Yup, we're about to go on hiatus though because I'm going to Florida for an internship for 6-8 months
>What kind of music does your band play?
Weird, eclectic indie rock with weird song structures but we're a power trio so we kind of play the songs like a bar band. (Pic related- is us)
>What kind of music do you wish you were playing?
Twinkly emo, pop punk, or a Bruce Springsteen-type thing with a big band
>Instrument you play
Bass/Vocals

>>What kind of music do you wish you were playing? I actually have a passion for Post-Hardcore/Jazz-Fusion so I'm hoping I can fuse the two on a future project. Would you guys listen to that?

vapid radio rock. muse, arctic monkeys, franz ferdinand type stuff

sad indie music with lots of whining, unusual chord progressions and sampling. radiohead, portishead, 13-era blur kinda stuff
>>60936960

>>60935671
>bluegrass
get out
>>60936893

>>60936946
you will never be as good as based jeff. try and do something original instead
>>60937009
you sound unbearably pretentious but your band sounds neat
>>60937062
nice
>>60937068
that sounds cool, yeah I'd wanna give it a listen
>>60937069
oh the woes of being stuck in a pleb band playing music you don't like. rip anon
>>60936960
>projecting this hard
It's ok, it's never too late to learn an instrument. You just have to get up and do it.
>>60937009
That sounds vaguely interesting, assuming "weird song structures" includes meter changes. You probably have my attention.
>>60937062
>>60937068
You two also have my attention, with no qualifiers. Those are good genres and I like discovering smaller bands.
>>60937117
>pretentious
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.
would being an engineer count?
>no, not really
how busy is everyone this holiday season?
>>60937193
I'm >>60937062, I've posted my stuff in metal threads before, but if you're interested, here's an older EP of ours, the lead guitarist/vocalist on this left the band though: https://titanisma.bandcamp.com/album/celestial-aggression
and a newer song: https://soundcloud.com/titanis-122762364/starliftermp3
>>60935671
I play guitar, bass and piano. I don't play in a band because here in the land of gooks everyone has utter shit taste. My personal solo work generally involves drone metal, post-rock, and recently I've been adding elements of prog rock and black metal into my work. It's pretty cool.
I wish I was technically skilled enough to play in a progressive tech black metal band that incorporates elements of post-rock and noise rock.
>>60935671
>Instrument you play
Bass
>Are you in a band?
Yes
>What kind of music does your band play?
Garage/Surf Punk
>What kind of music do you wish you were playing?
Noise Pop / Gazey Stuff
>>60937117
I try and write like Jeff instrumentation wise. I mean he was a great singer but damn could he play guitar.
>>60937247
>Titanis
Seems like an unfortunate name, the "tight anus" jokes would never stop
>>60937453
It happens all the time. All the fucking time. Wasn't my choice, our original guitarist came up with cause he's greek and I guess it's a greek word
It's also the name of a big, dumb, extinct bird
>>60937247
Thanks. This is pretty sweet so far, really digging the drums in particular. Just the right amount of looseness.
And yeah I kinda agree with the other guy about the name, which also has the "wait, how do you pronounce that?" issue and isn't super memorable. You guys should maybe consider changing that before it's too late.
Guys I play guitar,piano and ukulele how do I get into a band I write my own music. I started a little garage rock thing with a couple of friends but they had sports and I noticed our friendship on a decline so we pulled out of it. I'm a senior in high school right now should I just wait for college I don't even know where to start

Do you have either your own car or a place at home to host practices? If the answer to either of those is yes, you should check craigslist and similar places for other musicians in the area looking to get together. If not then you might just have to wait until one of those becomes true honestly, it sucks but I also spent most of my high school years just doing solo projects. Good luck.
>>60938177
Online listings (criagslist and the like) but you'd have better luck just straight up talking to people. Go to some shows.
Every business connection I've ever made was though the BMX/Stunt Inline Skating. Sounds weird. But some of these dudes are getting 600+ worth of gear every other week. Nice to play music with people who aren't broke.
