any bands in austin interested in playing rio market on 12/20? need one more band for the lineup. Dm @southcreekband_ if interested
Hi, my band Joy!Boy is booking shows into 2025, but the guys I was playing with need to take a step back to work on their own music. Would love to meet up and play with folks interested in pop-punk/power pop/rock music. Check out that Spotify link for my tracks, and the band Youtube for our show at Carousel Lounge last month.
EDIT: My drummer is able to play our upcoming show on Jan. 7, but I still am looking for a bassist and potentially a lead guitarist, so DM me if you're interested!
Looking for some local bands that play some music in the style of Windhand, Sleep, Electric Wizard etc. Thanks!
Hey everyone!
I'm a drummer and have recently started getting into the world of recording and mixing. I consider myself a relatively "decent" drummer, but very much a beginner on the recording and mixing aspect of the musical process.
As a self-learning exercise, I'm looking to provide folks with drum tracks at no charge. I don't mind if you already have a part written out or no drums at all for your tracks. Mainly I'm looking to collaborate on projects that will allow me to learn more than what I've been currently doing for practice, which is recording myself playing covers.
I have my own gear and studio at the moment. Attaching a brief clip of The Free Label's Vanilla Affogato for reference, been really digging their style lately!
Anyone we're waiting on? White Denim tomorrow
Topdown - self-titled
Being Dead - Eels
Glassing - From the Other Side of the Mirror
Leti Garza - Canciónes Sobre La Vida y La Muerte
Peace Decay - self-titled
Blushing - Sugarcoat
Void Witch - Horripilating Presence
How about epoty?
DSGNS - Nothing Is Waiting for Us
Mammoth Grinder - Undying Spectral Resonance
Molly Ringworm - C.B.T.A.S.M.R.
Beyond State Power - self-titled
I can play a few instruments poorly (guitar, drums, bass, keyboard) and am looking for a jam partner who is also an amatuer who is a person that doesn't speak much (like myself)
My band Last Visible Dog has invented the music video, you can check it out on the youtubes at: https://youtu.be/UMj-jDrzCmk?si=kKdVHrbcqOJQmnOA #mbfgf
Looking for some local recommendations for merch vendors (t-shirts, in particular). My band has some big upcoming shows we’d like to get merch ready for. Would prefer to give our business to a local company if possible.

All influences of these type, some of the bands Shai Hulud, early Emmure, Madball, acacia strain, Darkest hour, It dies today, The ghost inside, Hopesfall, Kublai Kahn TX, Underoath, Misery signals, poison the well, remembering never, it prevails, I killed the prom queen+++
I play guitar, I'm 40. Age doesn't really matter, I am just trying to find like styled musicians to write and put something together. If it's serious, awesome! Just wanna write and jam? Awesome! Message me!
Have recently started an alt/indie rock band with country roots. We are all early 20’s guys and we have 2 guitars, bass, and drums. We need keys, and I would love it if that keys player was a female with a great voice. One of my favorite bands/inspo’s is Houndmouth. Their dual/male/female lead vox switch off situation is very cool and that’s what I want, but we just can’t find a chick that sings and plays piano.
If you’re our missing piece…comment/send me a message! We can exchange demos and go from there.
Hey everyone! Kinda all in the title but I’ve been playing some solo gigs around town but really looking to build a full band. I play mostly indie, pop, country, originals, and some folk/classic rock. I’m in my mid twenties so anyone around that age would be awesome!

Hi, Ive been writing for the past couple years but playing for a long time, and im looking for people to collaborate with and perform. Ive attached a demo of a few lower effort songs ive written. now please know that my taste is very broad, but i tend to really like both slow chill psych and energetic psych rock/pop so dont be deterred by the demos being rather slow only. Im looking for people in my age range (27M) a little older or younger is okay, generally just looking for maturity and seriousness and ideally not into drugs etc etc. let me know if youre interested in playing :
Does anyone know where I can buy/borrow/rent a bass trombone? My son's broke right before college auditions.
The connector between the hand slide and valve section is broken.
Sunday at Hole In The Wall. Sign up at 6pm.
What's up all. I am in a similar position as I am sure a number of you all are. I need a jam space.
Currently we practice in my garage but because of noise and whatnot, we typically practice with an electronic drum kit. It's serviceable but not ideal.
So I am on the hunt to share a space with someone or find a space. I put my name on the waitlist for Sonace. We go to Space every once in a while but really looking to eliminate friction here and find a more permanent practice situation that is not my garage.
We are all in our late 30s / early 40s responsible with day jobs. Will chip in and absolutely take care of the space.
Also willing to talk sharing a drum kit if that sweetens the pot. I have a Pearl Masters Custom kit and all the hardware. Would be willing to talk about sharing that - without the breakables - in the space.
Hit me up if you are interested or know anyone else who is!
Title kinda says it all I’m new to the area so I don’t really know too many people and I’m looking to either join or start something, I play guitar and drums and I’m looking for people that are similar age range to me (20) also just trying to figure out where all of you people hang out. I have yet to find a good place to meet other young musicians. In their early to mid 20s.
New to the area and just want a few songs in better quality. Have to land a job and save a bit but would like to have a few people in my contacts for when the time is right. Keep on creating my friends.
Hello! I see a lot of great local bands playing Sonic Guild events. How do y'all get involved? What's the nomination process like?
I'd love for my band to play one of their shows! :)
Hi, I need to find a very strong mixing/mastering person who is willing to be a tutor in Cubase for me. I work in Cubase Pro9 DAW. Hourly rate is fine. If this same person is great at mastering I would consider hiring for that as well, but mostly for mixing to start, since I want to keep learning. This is part of work for an educational platform where I document my own learning process, and I would love if this person might join me on vodcast at spots. So ideally someone who likes to help kids with learning. Thanks!
Hey! I'm looking for other amateur people to jam with! I played 4 years of piano as a child and I'm working on trying to actually learn it all back, but through playing actually fun songs! I've mostly been practicing with 90's jams I find online, but I feel like it would be a lot more fun & motivating with others! Maybe with a goal to perform somewhere! I live in the Domain in a smaller apartment but am happy to drive wherever and I can lug around my keyboard.
Another obnoxious restriction is I'm going to be out of town until December 11th, Thanksgiving shenanigans!
BTW to the mods: I think a version of this post weekly/biweekly/monthly/something would have more success! It's hard to scan the reddit and see what matches/doesn't match rather than jumping through comments of one post 🤷
The band is called Fried Awake. We are in search of a dedicated drummer to perform and write with. I had a friend fill in to record our first demo, which can be found on Bandcamp. DM @friedawake on Instagram if you're interested in trying out!
Influences include but not limited to: Medicine, Swirlies, 1988 My Bloody Valentine, The Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins, A Place to Bury Strangers, Sonic Youth, Fleeting Joys
To augment our drummer's limited availability. We play places like Hotel Vegas, 13th Floor, Far Out etc. Thanks for interest

40 year old in North Austin looking for people to jam with. Been playing guitar for over 20 years and playing drums for over 5 years now. Into everything from experimental, psychedelic, black metal, sludge metal etc.
I'm mostly just looking to do this to be social and stuff. I'd be cool to be in another band but I'm not a rush.
I do have a job and my own transportation. I do have all the guitar for guitar and some of the gear for drums. (I would love to have a reason to get a complete drum kit on credit)
Here's a band I was in right before Covid hit. I played guitar in it
I'm generally looking for other musicians with some band experience or experience in general.
Please DM/PM me and please don't use the Reddit chat. I will never see a notification for reddit chat. Reddit chat sucks.
Finally, I don't want to be negative but please miss me with the Hardcore or Hardcore punk. I'm just not into it and I'm not about it. Also, I'm not into joining another preexisting band as your replacement drummer. You're overestimating my drumming and all I'll do is point out the why and how of why your band sucks.
Ok, cheers
Looking for a drummer that wants to jam with me, I’m intermediate I mostly struggle sometimes to be in sync. So I’m looking for somebody who’s also newish and has patience. My end goal is to be a musician and play live in venues.
Hey! I moved to Austin this fall and I’m looking to join a band. I’m a bassist and would love to play in an indie rock band or indie folk/ alternative band
Is there any studios or producers that specialize in hard dance/ indie sleeze in the Austin area?? Want to finish up a couple songs
