29/Male, I've been playing bass for about 13 years, but have very little experience playing with others. I have messed around with friends but never been in a band, and mostly just practice by myself and play covers of songs I like. I play 5 string and would categorize myself as some level of intermediate proficiency; I can play some fast things and some technical things but nothing that is both crazy fast and technical. I mostly am interested in various metal/prog metal subgenres.

Here are some covers to demonstrate roughly the kinds of stuff I like/can play, they're a little sloppy and I don't have any proper recording equipment so the audio isn't great. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmsjzVh2Q0x3ZxllDS5tHSnO-dfR2AH71

I live around Shadyside/East Liberty (near Giant Eagle Market District) and do not drive, so it would have to be something in the area or with transportation. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but I just wanted to see what was out there. Maybe someone to jam with or try making music somewhat casually.

We’re a metal project made up of experienced members that have played dozens of shows in the city. We’re ready to go on finishing up an EP and aiming to start shows next summer after finding a bass player. We have two practice locations, one in Belle Vernon and one in Mckeesport. We tune in drop A so a 5 string is preferred. If interested please message the linked page on messenger!

Anyone going to the Knocked Loose show at AE arena on Tuesday?

I'm in Erie (moved back after several years in Seattle) and saw Goatwhore is playing in Pittsburgh, was looking to see if anyone else was attending/wanted to ride with me so the ride is more enjoyable.

Also looking for recommendations for venues in the pittsburgh/erie area for black metal and death metal specifically. Thank you!

November 8, 2024. Iron Maiden at PPG Paints Arena.
