Silvia Bluejay Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Incidentally, a quick search on the social media shows that 5 Seconds of Summer - the one in the pic - is a huge band. They've apparently been touring the world and have millions of FB likes.

CamdenRob Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 yeah they're just kids aren't they... I will be amazed if this band ever gets anywhere near a rehearsal studio let alone writing a track... I bet their website / FB page will put anything my bands have ever done to shame though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a rock band might post a pic of Led Zep, for example. Just another manifestation of the wannabe delusions that surround the 'musicians wanted' scene.

keyedit Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Let the kids have their dreams. They'll probably give up music eventually and invent some wonderful IoT thingamajig [?] that we can't do without. I do hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think there's a bassist available...as long as they don't plan to rehearse anywhere near their school: http://weinterrupt.com/2013/04/bassists-craigslist-ad-could-be-funniest-ever-goes-viral/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I love that the musical model for kids now isn't form a band, write some songs, do some gigs, get signed, get huge... Rather it's cover some Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber songs, stick them on YouTube... Summer Of 69, Livin On A Prayer, Rock n Roll Band, So You Wanna Be A Rock Star, Into The Great Wide Open would be such different songs if someone had written them today! PS I couldn't resist checking. She now has a YouTube channel. First Bieber song uploaded. Solo only, no band yet. Bless. Mind you, at least she's learning guitar and has taken some initiative.

It pretty much always ends in tears. Or resentment, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I think Gumtree insists on a picture with each advert now, so for adverts which are not an item for sale, you've still got to come up with some sort of picture. Last time I posted one, I just used a picture of my double bass. It didn't do me much good though - I'm not convinced that Gumtree adverts are a worthwhile way to find other musicians. The majority of responses are either for something completely different or are from people who start out sounding enthusiastic but then go quiet after the first couple of messages.
