The between bands vacuum

[Nicko]

I've been looking for a band opportunity for a good few months, since my last band folded due to a dispute between two of the members.  I have to say that the one thing worse than no longer being in a band is trying to find a new one.

I'm not fussy - I'm happy playing bass or guitar, covers or originals.  I'd like to stay away from Blues, Jazz and C&W but other than that I'm fairly easy

I dont want to hit the big time, or make a career out of music. I dont really want to play death metal and I'm no longer between 20 and 30.  Is all hope lost?

Have you considered hooking up with someone to do open-mics in the meantime? I found it a good opportunity to meet other musicians and contacts.

Can't find a band? Start one!

You never know how many drummers/guitarists/etc. are out there in the same position as you - waiting for the right band to come along.

+1, put a free notice up on Joinmyband.com and see what responses you get.  I've done this a few times now because I wanted to be able to dictate rehearsal schedules etc.

Singers are a bit of a pain to find but drummers and guitarists are easier.
