Phoenix guitarists, anyone know some Local Pedalboard builders?

Does anyone know of anyone locally who can do professional setups on pedalboards? I've kinda settled on what my rig is gonna look like for the foreseeable future and wanted to have it cleaned up a bit, mainly looking for someone to cut and solder patch cables to length as a lot of the ones I have are too long or too and generally just a mess.

I've tried solder-less kits but had a few issues with the connections loosening over time and and I don't have the time or the tools to solder cables myself. Any recommendations?

For lovers of funky bass and world music

Balkan Bump is playing at Darkstar this Friday (Nov 1). I caught his set a few years ago when he opened for Clozee and it was such a fun show! Definitely worth checking out if you like funky bass or world music.

Looking for drummer in Phoenix

My buddy (bassist/vocals) and me (guitarist/vocals) are looking for a drummer in the west phoenix area or anywhere that's relatively close since we're going to college in that area. We're mainly just trying to put demos together right now and would like to have a drummer who can help us shape songs into solid demos. We have some riffs and progressions for now but would like to construct everything with a drummer and not just the two of us. For now, my buddy and I would be cool with just sending recordings back and forth to put demos together before meeting up to actually play what we have and play shows and stuff. We definitely plan on taking the music seriously and only releasing songs if we feel that they have potential. Thanks!

Band Looking for Drummer

My buddy (bassist and vocals) and me (guitarist and vocals) are looking for a drummer. We're currently in college and have had no luck with finding people on campus that have the time or play drums at all. We're looking to make music that is unique and super catchy, and we don't plan to release music unless we feel that it truly has potential. We're mainly going for an alternative sound. We have a few songs that we've been working on although we're planning to make more unique pieces with the help of a drummer. Thanks!

Bassist Looking to Start an Incubus Cover Band

Hey y'all! I'm Max, I play bass, have been for a long time. Recently started learning some incubus tunes mostly from make yourself/morning view and it's been so much fun to jam to these songs.

I couldn't help think how fun it'd be to play this stuff as a band! So I'm posting this to see if there's any interest.

I'm chill, 4/20 friendly and really would love for this just to be a fun project for all involved! DM me or comment if you're interested!

Thanks for reading!

Looking to put together a show at Ground Zero Studios in December (Doom Metal, Drone, Industrial)

I've already worked out a date with them. I would be playing but I need a few more bands/artists to fill the bill, and I would not necessarily be headlining! If you have a project with a doom metal, drone, industrial sound or anything similar, hmu!

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 of 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 as 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.

underground flyer website. (i need yr flyers)

Hey. I started a stupid simple website for flyers in the Phx area. Its mostly for selfish needs (I wanna know whats going on!) Currently still mining IG from friends accounts. If yr playing an underground show hit me up with yr flyer! Leaning more towards diy underground vibes. For instance, the main room at the Nile or like a festival (thats not under a freeway or in someones backyard) most likely won't be considered-- but yeah, exceptions apply always. Looking for more Noise, Hip Hop, Experimental, Jazz, Punk, Hardcore, Electronic, Dj, non commercial Art and other Community based events' flyers. website is underthevalley.org ..... currently its hosting mostly hardcore, noise and experimental improv flyers-- I want it to be less monoculture tho. Send flyers to eral@duck.com Thanks yallsies!
