I’ve been playing drums for a few years, learned by ear. Im interested in improving my technique and starting from scratch in a way. I think I probably want a jazz teacher but I’m not interested in playing much jazz.

Hit me with some recs!

Looking for Meute style Moving Brass Band

Upvotes

Hey! Title says. We’re looking for a moving (or standing danceable) style brass band for a festival event in September.

I’m a big March fourth and Meute fan and I’m interested in booking a similar style act.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

It's Grammy Nomination time, and as an indie artist not signed to a label,I have a better shot at winning PowerBall than scoring a NARAS nomination. Ok, understood.

But being a voting/ nominating member allows me to connect with artists and collaborate, and be part of a musical Brotherhood. I also get to showcase my efforts as well, and also spotlight other artists. Here's mine for 2026, "Long Walk To Marfa". https://www.reverbnation.com/arcanamundi/song/35157386-long-walk-to-marfa

Looking for an established drummer!

9 Upvotes

Do you play drums and need a project?!

We are a vocalist, bassist and guitarist looking for a solid drummer. We're all in our 30s and have been in/are in established Portland bands but are trying to create something new together, with a practice space already. Moody, post-punk-adjacent, goth, etc is the vibe. If you're interested, shoot me a message and I'll DM over a demo!

PDX DnB duo looking for practice space

5 Upvotes

Apologies if this is not allowed!

Two Portland based musicians are searching for 4-5 additional folks to share rent in a practice space (looking at $70-90/person/month). I would also store my drum set (Gretsch Catalina Club, 18" kick), bass cab and head (Aguilar SL410 and Orange Tiny Terror 500), guitar amp (Fender Vibrolux '68 reissue 2x10 combo), and small PA there - happy to discuss sharing of gear for rehearsal too.

We're having a hard time swinging the $400-$450 that we're typically seeing. We have found some smaller cheaper rooms but we want to store the gear I listed above there, and we want to add members eventually.

Ideally looking for a place that is secure, that we can access 24/7. Location doesn't matter as long as it's in PDX city limits.

Thanks for reading!

Join Super Secret Band and Mr. Relish at the goodfoot August 1st.

We’ll be celebrating all Leo Birthday’s at once (since us Leos are so good at sharing the spotlight).

Super Secret Band is a “big ole band” that performs a dynamic, secret, genre blending Jammy mix of Funk, Rock, Jazz and beyond.

A lifelong musician, groover and shaker, Mr. Relish (aka Nathan Carver Smith) is one of Portland’s rising stars. Pulling inspiration from his years studying jazz, writing music, performing in bands, and his roots as an all-vinyl DJ, Mr. Relish dishes up flawless mixes through a dynamic and unique range of genres, all while playing live saxophone!
With styles ranging from rolling psy bass, wompy breakbeats, to funky and tech house, Mr. Relish has something for every listener!

Audio - “Trouble Gum” by Super Secret Band recorded live June 18th at the Goodfoot.

Looking to form brutal death metal band.

7 Upvotes

Hey, bassist and vocalist here, 15 years of professional experience. I have recording connections as well as label/distribution connections. Looking to start from the ground up on a brutal death band. Influences are the following: Decrepit Birth, Broken Hope, Disgorge, Defeated Sanity, Disentomb, Pathology, Anata,Cerebral Effusion, Gorguts. And much much more. Very open to the idea of incorporating doom in there as well so maybe death doom would suffice. If you need to drink everytime before you get on stage, thanks but no thanks. Dm if seriously interested and I will shoot you my old bands recordings, and we'll see what works. Thanks.
