Berserker Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 22 minutes ago, Jackroadkill said: Awww, no! In my day (1997-2000) it still called itself "Wycombe's Marquee" and had bands on every weekend. It still had the, ahem, exotic dancers on at luchtime. I don't suppose you remember Paradiddles Music Store on Castle Street? Famously the Kings of Leon's first gig was at the White Horse, used to be a good venue. Yeah, I remember Paradiddles, think it's a tattooist now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the Damned play at the White Horse, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone can offer advice on good places to find bands to join? My advice, always define what you're looking for in a band before you start looking.

mrtcat Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Buy a PA system and a van. As soon as word gets out you'll be swamped in offers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joining bands that were doomed from the start. I didn't do my homework on the bands . Daryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA system is only really useful if you are based out in the sticks and only want to do gigs there or you want to join a covers band. However a van is useful for any band so long as you are happy to always be the driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joining an established band can be a good way of gauging what they are like in terms of music and commitment. However there is also the chance that you will always be the FNG and never a proper member of the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserker Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Well I have a van, and used to cart all the PA stuff around for the old band, maybe I'll mention that in my ad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
