Prog Band Seeking Bassist

Hey all,

I am the lead guitarist for a new project in the Tempe/Phoenix area. The group is primarily focused on progressive rock/metal (most members heavily influenced by Rush, Dream Theater, Queensrÿche, etc.) and we are looking to write a lot of music. Right now we have two guitar players, a drummer and a vocalist. We range in age from 19-23 and are looking for a bassist in the 18-26 range (still reach out if you’re older than 26 and interested). If you’re interested, DM me and I can send you some material we have been working on and see about getting together with the group.

Band looking for singer

Band looking for singer

i'm looking for someone to partner with on a musical act, using today's technology to build a full band sound, and i prefer a female vocalist. if you play an instrument, that's even better, bring it along

the goal is to form a band for recording, gigging, and video, that releases original music, with what is basically modern indie rock, with elements of other genre's and music, edm, hip hop, hard rock, pop, americana, etc. the ultimate dream would be to play at Coachella, but i'm realistic and know that isn't happening tomorrow.

i have a strong but relaxed work ethic, looking to practice or work about once a week, i already own all the recording and video equipment.

i'm not looking for someone to join 'my' band, i'm looking for a full and equal partner from day one, who wants to come in with their ideas, sounds, and wants to build a band with fun songs and intentional aesthetic.

phoenix is the 4th biggest city in the country, and there's not a real 'scene' here, but i see that a benefit, meaning someone with a strategy could be THE scene.

if you're interested in hearing more, or sharing what some of your goals are, write back and let's talk about it some more.

Looking to form a "theatrical band." The song in the video is one that I wrote, and recorded all the parts (tracked drums tho.) I would love a five piece with a dedicated lead singer, I'm not super comfortable as the center of attention.

Group Seeking Drummer

My friend (bass/keyboards) and myself (guitar/keyboards) are currently looking for a drummer for your project. We are easily described as alt or even classic rock, but there’s no real boundary to what we are wanting/willing to make. We are also wanting to do live shows with some already scheduled. HMU and we can discuss more. I can send over links to some of the stuff we’ve been working on.

Drummer looking for project

Hey Everyone,

I'm a drummer on the lookout for a new music project! I have a strong interest in collaborating with singer-songwriters, but I'm also open to joining bands. I listen to a wide range of genres, including rock/metal, country, musical theatre, pop, a little rap, emo, etc. I'm eager to play gigs and share some great music, but I'm not aiming to go pro – just want to have fun and make some awesome sounds together. Weekends preferred. I have a house and basic recording equipment, too.

If you're interested, shoot me a DM and I'll send you some links to my previous work. Looking forward to connecting and jamming with you!

Cheers,
GoodDog2620

guitar amp repair recommendations?

Have a Vox ac30vr that I haven’t use in awhile. Plugged a new guitar in and it sounds like it needs some love.

Anyone have any recommendations for repair? Live in the melrose district.

Thanks

AZ Bands Reunite For The First Time In Over A Decade For A Good Cause 07/13 @ The Rebel Lounge

Every year we bring back MySpace era bands for one night only with proceeds benefiting Rosie’s House- a nonprofit that provides free music education and meals to underprivileged youth. Prior years have included Knights Of The Abyss, Burning The Masses, Darkness Before Dawn, and The Fair & Debonair raising over $5k. This year, we’d like to top that July 13th at The Rebel Lounge in Phoenix, Arizona.

Ska Band Looking for a Trombone Player

Hey!

We’re a decently established ska band here in the valley, and our trombone player is moving on to another project - so we’re looking for someone to hop on board and join our lineup?

We’re currently an 8 piece set, we practice Tuesday nights in north Mesa, and we typically gig 1-2 times per month.

AZRadio looking for local bands to feature

I made a new site called azradio.net

The idea is simply to feature only Arizona artists, including bands, comedians, film makers, etc.

I literally just started the site so there's just random place holder music, but once it gets going it will be 100% AZ music.

Send me your music if you'd like to be featured, email me your songs or give links where i can download, plz don't send me links that require a membership to download, azradio.net@gmail.com
