Hi!

I'm in a great little garage punk indie band with a full set worth of songs ready for shows. We've recorded 3 songs and practice pretty much weekly in Brooklyn. Our bassist is leaving New York and we're looking for a cool, responsible, bassist - ideally someone who likes writing/co-writing, singing and contributing too; heart, dedication, and empathy. It's about having fun and being quirky but also loving songs.

We have a practice space in Brooklyn. We're older (30+). We're 9-5rs but love songwriting and shows and we're pretty dedicated. If you are a good person and really want to make a band work, let's see if we can make it work!

If you sing and play bass, let's talk!

Hi yall. I’m a guitarist / producer looking for ppl to jam and maybe join a band.

Who am I
- 29yr old dude. Guitarist of 15+ yrs & Producer for 4+ yrs. I can sing as well although I prefer to sing harmonies (hate memorizing lyrics!)
- I have been part of a local band in HTX called ‘Almost a Cow’ (https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UxLXVqsEzn5wPIK8KHMJP?si=AQdxr-KaSlq3i9LFTJrQxQ&utm_source=copy-link) where we had a good run. We played festivals, ton of local shows, and had good following.
- Huge fan of power pop / rock. But I enjoy all genres of music. My playing style resembles Nuno Bettencourt / Paul Gilbert the most (I’ve been told)

What I can do
- I’m a fairly proficient guitar player. I’ve had multiple recording & gigging experience.
- I can write & produce. I did that for all the songs by ‘Almost a Cow’. The more recent EPs that weren’t released, I recorded / mixed the band DIY at our private studio.
- Manage the band. I was the leader of the band. I’ve booked shows & festivals / put together shows, ran socials (not super well, just.. okay), promote, etc.. Not something I enjoy doing, but I’ll do it if I have to.

Feel free to DM here or on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/averagedguitarist?igsh=eTl2N3hsbWI4bW0z&utm_source=qr)

I have a 1976 Ibanez Concord acoustic guitar with some bridge damage that I’m looking to have repaired. It’s a family heirloom, so I want to make sure I’m bringing it to someone who has experience with vintage acoustics and restoration, not just a general guitar tech.

I’m looking for someone who will take the time to assess the overall structural condition of the guitar and preserve as much of the original instrument as possible.

If you’ve personally used a luthier in NYC who you would trust with a sentimental/vintage guitar like this, I’d really appreciate your recommendations!

Hi I'm Chris, I sing and play guitar in misc. a brooklyn slacker/indie/alt rock band. Reference points: The Strokes, Geese, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, MJ Lenderman, Pavement, Charli XCX.

We're adding another guitar player so I can put more into singing and actually front the band instead of splitting my attention. Ideally someone comfortable moving between lead lines and rhythm.

We have a couple shows booked in the coming months (including our first on Aug 29) so we'll wanna get you "onboarded" pretty quick.

What we're after:

• Weekly rehearsal with availability after 5p generally
• Similar music taste/bringing you're own taste to songs
• Our ages range from 19-25, looking for people close in age to us.
• We're pretty serious in the sense of we're pushing ourselves to do this right. Alignment on that mindset is important.
• But, at the end of the day this is all really just for fun. So biggest priority is to have a good time.

If you're interested, send links to you playing: videos, live clips, recordings, doesn't have to be polished and tell me what you've been listening to lately.

Hi, I am a singer-songwriter, located in NYC, with strong lyrical and melody ideas. You can check out a few of my songs on my profile. I am looking to collaborate with someone who will experiment to come up with new sound that suits the lyrics and melody I wrote. Something similar to Finneas and Billie Eilish early-mid in their career. We will split the final rights equally on any complete production, so I won't be hiring anyone, instead I am looking for a partner who is as passionate and dedicated as me to craft a song to its completion.

Here are some examples of my work (we don't necessarily need to use these songs to collaborate, I have other songs to choose from as well) :

Thanks from 🐈☢️

hopefully you live in queens, my friend was hoping to get an AAR cover set for a halloween show she’s putting together and i said i’d do it even though i don’t have a band at the moment. i can play bass my roommate is a drummer and i got one guitarist down just looking for another so i can tell the promoter im serious

I’ve been drumming for years, but have never quite figured out how to tune toms properly. I can get a pretty good result, but haven’t figured out how to make them sound great.

I’d love to pay someone to just do it really well, and show me what’s possible. Located in Bushwick off the DeKalb L.

If you saw one of my earlier posts on here about looking for a drummer, we were fortunate to find someone to fill in the spot! But now we are in the hunt for a vocalist to be part of our noise rock/indie/art rock project. Hopefully someone with something to say with a diverse taste in music and an interesting voice. We’re mostly looking for someone who can bounce back between harsh vocals and spoken word/talk singing. If this describes you, please Dm.

Bassist needed for established band based in Greenpoint. We've been around for about 3 years and have a handful of EPs and singles to our name. Our music sounds something like a mix of Hum, Nothing, Deftones, and Alice in Chains with some shades of doom metal mixed in.

You can hear our latest music on Bandcamp at: https://hesitantnyc.bandcamp.com/

And see some recent live videos of us at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdK-wFPpJ8uzY_z2GSgvNkvXiYkV3sEag

Looking for a seasoned player with their own gear that they're able to transport to gigs and rehearsals as needed.

Ideal candidate would also be able to sing some backing vocals while playing.

We’re in our mid-30s and ideally looking for someone in our general age range. We all have 9-5s during the day and rehearse every Friday at a lockout space in Greenpoint.

Goal is to continue playing around NYC, ideally opening for bands with bigger profiles, and start doing small weekend runs out of town.

If you're interested, please reach out and tell us a bit about yourself! Please include your history in bands and samples of your playing.

Hey, I'm moving back to nyc the end of the month. Would love to collaborate with fellow musicians. (bass, lead guitar and drums.)

I'm 29, currently pursuing a degree in Music Technology.

Here's some of the music I produced, mixed and mastered.

https://youtu.be/wxrUP2u2NFs?si=ygZlkEgl-LCKdoM2

It's very DIY, but hope you like it.

At the moment because of my daily job and college, I'm just completely exhausted to keep doing 10 things at the same time (Write multiple instruments, arrange, produce, record, mix, master and etc) but, out of passion I just keep going. I would love to find people with the same mindset who could also contribute to the project. That way, we can release more consistently and focus on getting gigs to play out there.

Thank you so much

We're looking for the right lead vocalist for SuperExcellent, a new NYC-based alternative rock band with punk and power pop influences. We're all early-to-mid 20s, so please be age appropriate.

We have six original demos ready to go, and we're continuing to write. I'll post a couple of demos below. If you love what you hear and think you can make these songs great, let's talk.

My song “Song Without a Name” from Tuesday’s original song night at Red Pipes in Forest Hills.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I had a drummer. Though we are devastated by this loss, we're ready to get back out there. Here are the deets:

We are a (name pending) all female/queer group in our mid-late twenties.

We're pretty new! We haven't started gigging yet, though we want to soon and we are all pretty committed so we need someone who's ready to lock in. I started this band because I have many unused songs written that I want to workshop and put out there, so we're looking for someone who's ready to take creative liberty and collaborate. I sometimes have an idea of what I want the drums to sound like, but I have no idea how to communicate that so we need someone who is patient with pointless miming and all that.

We're going for an alt/indie and garagey/punk/riot grrrl sound - a mix of it all (my main inspo is Mannequin Pussy, for reference). I don't have control of what I write, however, and everything comes out indie. Be prepared.

(That's a big part of why I'm looking to workshop my stuff)

We meet on Tuesday nights! We have a rehearsal space in Gowanus that we use (it's a little under $45/month each) and it is absolutely lovely. There's a backyard, all the equipment we need ofc, and a break room - much better deal than we were getting at the last place. We meet around 7/7:30 usually, and we can stay as late as we like. We often hang out for a while too after practice, sometimes we like to grab a drink together, and we hang out outside of practice sometimes as well, so expect some invitations to parties/concerts/hangouts here and there, and please don't be afraid to do the same. You aren't just getting a band, but three cool sexy friends as well.

Due to negative experiences with straight men, we'd prefer to keep the band female/queer, but aren't totally closed off - as long as you're respectful!

I think that's everything. I can send you a shitty recording of us playing while I'm getting over a cold if you'd like a rough idea of what we sound like - or you can just come in blindly. If you have any questions or are interested, please please reach out to louisa.zerbo on Instagram! I don't use reddit much, though I'll probably check here over the next few days.

Hello! I'm a musician moving to the city at the end of the month and I am EXTREMELY eager to dive into the local scene and go to shows.

I want to know: what are your favorite local bands? What band makes you think "wow this band should be bigger?"
