Progressive Metal Band needs vocalist

Looking for a vocalist who can sing and scream for a serious prog metal project. Must be able to do both. Prefer a singer with a higher vocal range. Dm me if interested. Looking for someone who has a lot of time to dedicate to a serious project but also has a creative take in their own style.

Rock Vocal Coach Recommendations

I want to improve my singing so I can contribute backup vocals and not sound like a strangled chicken when I’m singing along to my favorite songs. Any recommendations? Big plus if the coach has videos of themselves singing

Where do local bands practice in Seattle?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a place where bands in Seattle typically rehearse. Are there any good practice spaces, studios, or DIY spots that musicians use? I’d love to hear recommendations for both paid and free options. Also, if anyone knows about shared spaces or rehearsal spots with backline gear, that’d be super helpful!

Just for reference the kind of music my band plays is emo, shoegaze, indie.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to play/make music with people! (Post-mathrock / Post-hardcore / Experimental / alternative rock)

Hello there, I am a bassist, singer, and songwriter (M, in highschool (I would prefer not to give my age)). I've been playing bass for half a year, and it's quickly become my main instrument (I got a 4 string bass), but I've been singing for years (just casual karaoke, I'm not actually all that great), along with making music. My main inspirations for music are Glass Beach, Sungazer, and Radiohead, but I'll play any genre of rock / metal / jazz (but I can only guarantee any sort of quality with rock).

I've tried playing music with other people from my highschool, but they were a guitarist and don't seem too passionate about music, nor do they seem to want to play more with me (even though he convinced me to learn Green Day songs (I don't listen to Green Day) and we both had fun but I don't see us meeting up again). Highschooler issues incoming, but nobody in my school is interested in music, at least not like I am, which makes playing with others (something I desperately want to do) challenging, to the point of impossibility.

I'm not quite sure logistically how everything would work out, but if there's anyone interested I'd put in the effort to make it work! Whether it be to meet up somewhere and just jam, or make a song, I just really want to play music with other people passionate about it. I really enjoy music for complex harmonies and rhythms (which is why I put post-mathrock in the title of this post), but I'm less into specific melodic stuff and I'm not the best at deciphering the meaning of lyrics. I'm also generally confused about what genre I play / make music in, so I'll try to play with you, whatever that may be.

Seattle band looking for synth and back up singer

Seattle band RUB is looking for a keyboard player/backup vocalist. Women and folks in the BIPOC community heavily encouraged to apply, but we also welcome others to apply, as finding the right fit is most important. We have been a band since 2022, and since then have played many festivals including Bumbershoot, Bite of Seattle, and Ballard Seafood Fest. We have also performed a live in studio on KEXP ( which you can see here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq54J-s8dPY ) and been song of the day chosen by Cheryl Waters. We are a pretty active band, so whoever joins should have a decent amount of open availability to play weekend dates and summer shows. We have a keyboard with all of our sounds and lots of recordings and videos to get you caught up to our existing songs. We plan on recording on a new album in 2025 and would love someone who is good at coming up with catchy synth hooks. You do not have to be the most skilled played but must be a creative writer and be able to sing back ups and play at the same time. Must be available to practice Tues evening in the First Hill area. Feel free to reply to this post, dm us, or email us at rubsounds@gmail.com

touring musician coming through the area - looking for suggestions!

hey all! i am an solo indie-folk singer songwriter. i travel full time and play music, and i'm planning on being all over the PNW this spring and summer. i'm having a more difficult time than usual booking gigs around there, so i'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on venues/places to reach out to?

i don't have a huge audience, so preferably not venues that are ticketed only. i'm used to a lot of wineries, restaurants, bars, coffeeshops, galleries, etc, but i'm open to anything!

any help is mucho appreciated. here's my youtube if you wanna check me out:

Looking for musician for Valentine's Day dinner

Spouse is looking to book a musician (soloist or group) to play romantic music over dinner at a private club (~100 for dinner and drinks) in the north end around Kenmore on 2/14 from 5:30-8:30pm, breaks as needed. Budget is around $500-550.

She's pretty open to instrument, but suggested harp, piano, cello, bass, sax. Something to go along with dinner. Message me or reply here if you think this is something you're interested in and I'll forward it along to her.

Band Seeking Practice Space

My pop punk band Poor Boys Club is looking for a weekly practice space. Are any bands looking to sublet their space one day a week? If so, send me a DM and we can work out monthly pricing.

Additionally, if anyone has a space (garage, studio, workshop, a fucking shed for all I care) that we can make noise in once a week, we are interested in that as well. Cheers

Nectar Booth Capacity

I have tickets for a concert at nectar and sprung for a booth to have a guaranteed place to sit. How many people will fit there (or do they have a fixed capacity for each booth?)

There isn't any info on the tickets and they never answer the phone + VM is full.

Pop Punk Band Seeking a Drummer

My Pop Punk band, Poor Boys Club, is looking for a drummer to join the project! We have released two full albums and are working on our 3rd, and believe we've built a strong foundation as a fully DIY band.

We’re looking for a skilled drummer with strong chops who is excited to contribute to the songwriting process, and also values the team aspect of being in a band. If your favorite drummers are Tre Cool, Travis Barker, and Dave Grohl, you’re probably the kind of player we’re after.

Everyone in the band has been hands-on with marketing, graphic design, content creation, and audio engineering, but this is not required. However, if you’re down to collaborate and bring your own ideas and unique skills to the mix, along with sick drumming, we’d love to have you on board!

Here is our Linktree with our latest album. Shoot me a message if you believe we're a good fit for you

LOOKING TO START BAND (ALT RAP/MIDWEST EMO HYBRID?"

 been in love with music all my life and been wanting to create a group since I was 11 (after seeing OF on "Adult Swim" r ) . Odd Future, Brockhampton and even The Internet set the blueprint for kids like us and every day that goes by I still find myself inspired daily and wonder what life would be like just creating art, making connections and seeing the world. I am 23 and live near Seattle and been making beats for a lil bit now, mainly I grew up playing bass and really love Rythm and finding cool riifs and stuff.

Some background on the music that inspires and fuels my idea. I grew up on grunge and punk mixed with hip hop and rnb. If there is a way to blend Midwest emo and Alt Rap then I would love to start finding it. I am looking for 3-5 others to join me and my best friend. We have a few songs that are rough cuts so any experience would be valued. HMU if you want to start something cool

ACTS THAT INSPIRE

- Title fight

-Radiohead

-Vince Staples

-Tyler

-Deaftones and Nirvana

-Clipping

-Eyedress

-Thundercat

-SZA

and many others but yk i aint yapping

All the Love- CM

Nuemos Midnight High’s final guitar solo vid?- Jan 11

I was absolutely hypnotized with how crazy that guitarist’s solo was ending their song ‘Do it To Me’. Amazing skills!!!

Does anyone have a video/clip of Midnight High’s final song guitar solo when they ended their set helping open for Tinsley @ Neumos this past Thursday? Not sure if anyone managed to get a video of them but holy cow I just want to listen to it again.

Also shout out to waltzerr, Tinsley, and Lovely Colours who also played! This was the best concert I’ve ever been to!
