Lw. Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Sorted thanks. [s]Getting fed up of playing on my own so want to get back into a band. Ideally I'm looking for an originals band of the semi-committed variety; I can probably do one gig & two practices a week max (or similar). I'm open to most genres; rock, blues, grunge, post-hardcore - anything along those lines. About me; been playing for 10+ years & was in a regular gigging metal band years ago. Have also dabbled in a jazz combo and an acoustic due. I'm in my late twenties and have a career so not looking to be a young-rock star, just want to play music with others & enjoy some gigs. Live in Reading but work in London so either is easy for me. Please get in touch if you've got anything that might be of interest...[/s] Edited November 18, 2014 by Lw.

Lw. Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Still looking. Maybe I should state some of the bands I listen to most often so you get the idea of things I like (as said before though, it's quite a range): Pixies, Warpaint, Jimi Hendrix, Biffy Clyro, RHCP, La Dispute, Touche Amore, Nirvana etc... Though I do listen to most other genres too. Do people expect recordings of my playing? What format is usual (ie a simple mp3 of me noodling around or some kind of play along or youtube video)?

CamdenRob Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Have you tried putting an ad like this up on Gumtree? I had quite a few responses after posting something similar last year. Not sure many people on BC are looking for a bass player... as we are all bass players ourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah I did do a Gumtree ad - one good sounding band replied (they're looking on here too) but I couldn't go with them for other reasons, the rest of the responses were either completely inappropriate bands or weirdos. Maybe I'll do another one on there but add in the specific bands I like rather than just naming the genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Thinking about it... Maybe it would be a good idea for us all to have a thread somewhere on BC for bands to search for bass players in their area. It would have to follow a simple structure to be searchable by the forums software something like. Username : CamdenRob Location : London NW1 Genres : Blues, Electro, Icelandic Throat Singing etc... Available for new projects : Yes Youtube / Soundcloud clip : www.???? Basically a little Bio of all our members. Don't want too many fields or it'll become unwieldly, plus no-one cares what gear people have or how old they are...If everyone posted in that thread a band could search keywords and return a set of matches for people in their area.... Sorry for veering wildly OT - hope you find something soon Edited August 20, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if folk delete their post when the vacancy is filled (assuming they know when the role has been filled) I guess Mods could delete posts older than 3 months, for example.
