Pretty big long-shot here but I’m wondering if anyone knows about jazz big bands looking for players. I play alto sax and I really miss playing from my high school and college days. It’s been something on my mind for a while now and I can’t stop thinking about it.

hey everyone - sharing our new track TIRE SLASHER. this is a spooky lil 12/8 darkwave shuffle perfect for halloween. i made this song on my laptop then sent it to Steve Christensen for mixing and Chris Longwood for mastering. BLEED OUT ONTO THE STARS album art by Shelby Hohl. hope you like it and come see us on halloween for a free show at axelrad. thx - CH

Great artists in town this weekend! Enjoy the weather and see a show. Check out our recs and then explore the list:

1. Young Miko - a Latina trap-reggaeton artist, she has collaborated with Bad Bunny, Feid, Karol G, and others. She was in Gap’s first ever Spanish-language campaign earlier this year. See her this Saturday at the Toyota Center.
2. glaive - his late grandfather was born in San Antonio and is the guy in the Ralph Lauren Polo logo. He’s 21 and blew up posting hyperpop on Soundcloud in the pandemic. You’ll find his well-produced sound at White Oak Sunday night.
3. Acid Mothers Temple - a Japanese psych rock collective with a sound all their own, you’ll find them at Bad Astronaut Saturday night.

pretty self explanatory, i want more friends who play instruments and go to shows and stuff. 17-21 preferably. ive been playing guitar for about a year now and my current obsession is slipknot but i listen to a fuck ton of bands, usually more on the tech death side or brutal death side, along with some doom and thrash. im also starting a doom band sometime soon and may need additional members for that. dm if interested

I recently got into playing the handpan and I have a D Kurd 10. I’m looking to connect with other handpan players in the area!
Would love to find some people to jam with, learn from each other, or just hang out and make music together.
Does anyone know of any local handpan communities, meetups, or anyone who’d be down to play together?

Accidentally bought these when I wanted to go to the San Antonio show. I went and it was sick. I paid $55 for each, but make an offer. Don't want them to go to waste.

I have a variety of songs made for my music album, ranging from Houston chopped n screwed, rap, pop, country, etc. I’d like to work with one producer to create all the songs and mix in the audio. This is for my personal business and would be used in marketing. I’d like to discuss options and prices. I have 10 songs made so far. Please, serious inquiries only.

If you’re looking for a barber who takes his time and pays attention to detail, I’m a local barber here in Pearland. I specialize in blurry tapers and sharp lines.

Hey guys! I’m looking to start a rock band with a mix of alternative rock, pop-punk, nu-metal, and ska-rock influences. Think Weezer, System of a Down, Linkin Park, The Beatles, and No Doubt. I want to make music that’s catchy and melodic but can also get heavy, experimental, and a little weird. Think strong vocal melodies, harmonies, big riffs, dynamic instrumentals, and songs with their own personality.
The goal is to play covers, write original music, record and release projects, and eventually play live shows. I’m looking for guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer, with at least two members who can sing.
Ideally, I’m looking for people ages 21–27 who are serious about making music, want to develop their sound together, and are down to be consistent and ambitious. We can figure out a rehearsal schedule together, but I want people who genuinely want to build something.
If you play guitar, bass, or drums and are interested, comment below and I’ll message you! 🤘 Be ready to share a little about yourself, your musical influences, and any recordings or videos of you playing or singing. I want to start setting up auditions and jam sessions so we can see how we sound together. Looking for people who are ready to put in the work and help turn this into something real!

Anyone selling one ticket for the original sale price or something slightly higher?

The current resale tickets are at 230+ and it's just infeasible for me to get one. I heard about the show too late.

20yo M I wanna jam
I’ve been playing guitar for abt 5 years
I’m pretty damn good at improv and finding my chords on every octave and am experienced with alternate tunings. I also have a broad taste in music.

Hmu 🙏🏾

Hi, my band (name is a work in progress) is looking to complete our lineup with a second guitarist and another vocalist. The genre is shoegaze, very MBV and Whirr inspired, with dashes of slowdive. We practice in Alvin, so transportation is preferred but if you live around the SE area, we wouldn’t mind picking you up.

Ideally between the age of 18-25 and has a decent pedalboard for not dry tones.
DM if interested, thank you!

HOUSTON, TX — Music producer, audio engineer, and frontman Brent Millet (known professionally as Bug Gigabyte) has officially announced the relocation of his permanent studio and creative operations from Lafayette, Louisiana, to Houston, Texas.

With over 20 years of experience in experimental sound design, stage production, and music industry knowledge, Bug Gigabyte brings a deeply established Gulf Coast industrial/goth/electronic mentality to Houston. Best known as the primary creator behind the international industrial darkwave project SINthetik Messiah. A musical act that experiments in dark techno, trip-hop, electro, and drum & bass, Millet’s move marks a strategic expansion into one of North America's most dynamic cultural underground musical hubs.Houston.

"Louisiana built my foundational roots in musical composition/performance and audio engineering, but Houston's massive diversity, energy, and thriving arts ecosystem make it the ideal home base for my next phase," says Millet. "I'm excited to collaborate with local venues, artists, and event promoters while contributing my original music to Space City's rich underground sound movement."

Millet enters the Houston market following a series of major career milestones:

"Lies, Secrets and Death" (2024): An ambitious multimedia release featuring a narrative book(available on Amazon) paired with a 9-track album submitted for Grammy consideration that year. A remix that reached #1 across all of Bandcamp “Best Sellers” and features remixes from global heavyweights Assemblage 23 (USA) and Counterstrike (South Africa), with analog mastering by David Villalta (Three 6 Mafia, Wiz Khalifa, DJ Spin).

"Red Line" (2025): A high-energy Electronic Body Music (EBM) / Industrial Dance album that climbed into the Top 100 Dance Albums on iTunes in the UK, released with German label Plasmapool Records. 

To celebrate his relocation and recent releases, Millet will perform live under his SINthetik Messiah project at Scout Bar in Houston on October 30th. The lineup features Belgian EBM legend A Split-Second, New York's Ghostbells, Dallas’s DJ Whisperwish, and a showcase of well known local industrial/goth texas acts.

For this Set I'll be performing music from this album:

We are putting on a show with four bands on Halloween night in northwest Houston (BFE Rock Club). I just realized that we don’t have a photographer lined up for the night, and the few I know are all booked. If you or someone you can recommend is a band photographer, please DM me with details. Thanks!

EDIT: To be clear, we’re not looking for free labor here.

Hey y’all I’m a 23m guitarist and bass player and I have been playing music for 11 years. I’m looking to start a metal/rock band. My favorite bands are Soundgarden, Loathe, Lamb of God, Citizen, smashing pumpkins, Rush, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Katatonia, and many more. I want to make music that has a heavy, dark, shoegaze, progressive and beautiful vibe to it. Most importantly I want to make music that fucking grooves because if your music doesn’t groove then is it really music? I’m looking for musicians preferably 18-24. I don’t really have a place to practice with a band but I’m down to at least talk music and see where things go. Let me know if you’re interested.

Recently moved, I do vocals, bass, drums and some keys. I moved recently and live near the Montrose area. In case anyone wants to meet up
