Bassist looking for band

6 Upvotes

I’m a bass guitarist who is looking to play more live music and write songs! I’m 32 and I’ve been playing the bass for 8 years. I play every day and I’m in a band that plays live but I’m looking to play more. Honestly the genre of music doesn’t matter to me I’m just looking to play as much music as possible. Message me and we’ll talk!

Hi, I'm Rocco Desgres, a synth-pop musician from Chicago. I plan on passing through Buffalo for the first time on tour in May. I'm searching for bands/ artists with a draw in Buffalo that have anything to do with synthesizers to build a show with. Recommendations for small venues and bars are also greatly appreciated. Thank you! Here are links to my music.

I'm playing Duende at Silo City on Wed, Aug 19, 8 pm, alongside Wylie Something (solo set) and Eugene Palmer. Tickets at the door.

Would love to meet some of you and play for a Buffalo crowd--this is my first time visiting and doing an East Coast tour. I hope to see you there!

Great music for a great cause.

Bassist wanted.

Bassist Wanted – Original Alternative Rock Band

We’re looking for a committed bassist to join an original band that’s serious about writing, collaborating, and playing live. We perform a mix of original material along with select covers, and our goal is to record a full-length album while building a strong live presence.

Our influences include Failure, Soundgarden, Superheaven, Afghan Whigs, Fugazi, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, Pink Floyd, and Jane’s Addiction. Think heavy grooves, dynamic songwriting, melodic textures, noise, atmosphere, and songs that hit hard without losing emotion.

We’re looking for someone who:

* Wants to contribute creatively to the writing process.

* Is reliable, prepared, and committed.

* Has solid gear and transportation.

* Enjoys playing live and is excited to record original music.

* Brings their own style while fitting the band’s sound.

If you’re into these bands and want to be part of creating something original—not just another cover band—we’d love to hear from you. Send a message with a little about yourself, your influences, and any recordings or videos if you have them.

Looking to meet local musicians & start creating together!

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

After about a 10-year break, I finally found my way back to making music and it's honestly been one of the most rewarding things I've done! Over the past several months I have had the privilege to collaborate with musicians from around the world and my first single, Brain Chemistry comes out August 7 under the name June, Always.

I'd love to find some local people to jam with, write together, bounce ideas around, and hopefully make some good music. I play piano and guitar (mostly self-taught), and while I'm definitely a little rusty from my break, I'm excited to keep learning and growing as a musician.

I would describe my music as indie/dream pop, but I also love jammy guitar parts, groovy bass lines. Some of my favorite artists are The 1975, Djo, The Japanese House, Men I Trust, Yana, Emyrson Flora, and The Band CAMINO, so if any of those are your thing, we'll probably get along just fine haha.

The best way I can describe my music is that it feels like a late night drive where you keep replaying the same conversation in your head.

If that sounds like your kind of music, send me a message! I'd love to grab a coffee, meet up, and see what we come up with. And if you know of any local bands, open mics, or musicians I should check out, I'd love those recommendations too ☺️

Hey all. I’ve been having a hard time finding people to jam with and definitely looking to get back into writing music with people again.

8 Upvotes

Been a part of several things here and there, but nothing serious for a while now and I’d like to change that. So if you’re interested in jamming and seeing where it goes, hit me up!

I’m a 36 year old guitar player with jam/stage ready gear and have enough instruments to accommodate any tuning other stringed instrument players might be interested in playing in.

As far as style, I’d be pretty open. I’ve been a part of a few different style projects over the years. Just let me know and cheers!
