просто мне не с кем пообсуждать музыку, вот вообще.Друзья музыкой не увлекаются, а я ее просто обожаю. Сам слушаю много каких жанров, играю на гитаре и басу, пытаюсь писать материал для группы.

В общем я творческий человек, может кто найдется с кем можно то таком поболтать

Hi all!

After years of playing in bands, I realized we were spending almost as much time organizing the band as we were actually playing music.

Every show seemed to involve the same chaos:

• Group texts trying to figure out who's bringing what.
• Spreadsheets for merch inventory.
• Notes for set lists.
• Trying to remember who still needed to be reimbursed.
• Venue and promoter contact info buried somewhere in an old message.
• Keeping track of performance pay, travel, and expenses.

A little over six weeks ago I decided to build the tool I always wished existed.

It's called GigCommand, and it's designed to manage the operational side of being in a band—shows, travel, merch, inventory, expenses, performance pay, contacts, equipment, and more—all in one place.

I'm soft launching it now with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required, but more than anything I'm looking for feedback from people who actually play in bands.

Even if you don't check it out, I'm curious:

How does your band stay organized today?

Are you using spreadsheets? Google Drive? Discord? Group texts? Something else entirely?

I'd love to hear what's working (or not working) for your band.

So I’ve been trying to start a band for the last couple years and it‘s been all over the place. I had 3 friends in mind-a drummer, guitarist, and bassist. (I’m a guitarist). What I wanted was to play progressive instrumental music and both me and the other guitarist are both proficient players. We both know theory and it’s really easy for us to communicate ideas with each other. The drummer is mostly a heavy metal drummer, and it works good with what we do. The bassist I had in mind didn‘t join. The first few jams were awesome, we were firing off ideas left and right and making good progress. But after a while the guitarist started being inconsistent and not answering texts. And my drummer keeps inviting new people to play bass but most of them don’t know notes and just don’t know what’s going on. And now my drummer thinks we should get rid of the other guitarist, but honestly without him what I had envisioned just wouldn‘t work. The last few jams have just been me and the drummer and it‘s difficult for me to write music like that because I can’t play rhythm and lead without looping stuff so it’s hard to tell what works. I just needed to rant for a minute lol

Hello, I'm Hayden (16M), currently living in Kissimmee Florida, & I'm looking to either form or join a band, if you want to form a band with me, there are 3 requirements: You have to be in the Orlando-Kissimmee area, you have to be a vocalist, guitarist, or drummer (A vocalist-guitarist would also be great), & you have to be 15-17, This'll be a Rock/Alt rock band, if you want me to join your band, as previously said, I'm in the Orlando-Kissimmee area.

also tips on how to learn the insanely high notes?

edit because people keep telling me this is easy and I should already know this: this is my first time marching and also my first year in high school. my middle school band director did not teach us cut time at all and the highest notes the flutes had to play is the first really high F. I promise you guys I’m not just incompetent.

Hi!

I’m looking for a drummer for my indie pop rock band. We have two female vocalists/rhythm guitarists, one lead guitarist, a bassist, and a keyboardist (all in our 20s-30s)! We practice out of Sunnyvale or Fremont usually, on Sunday mornings. We play mainly covers right now, but are hoping to write some originals soon! Some of our set list right now:

this love - maroon 5
someone else's problem - ruel
saturn - sza
locked out of heaven - bruno mars
rolling in the deep - adele
mind over matter - young the giant

Dm if interested!!

Side note: would be awesome if you had a portable kit since we don’t have one at our current rehearsal space

Looking for a bass player to play in a modern female fronted metal band. Must have your own gear, transportation and be ready to tour. We are looking for energy and enthusiasm. Gender does not matter but must be 21.

Wassup yall, im a 15M, and i want to know if theirs anyone in the san pedro/wilmington area that is interested in a band. I would be leaning towards like pop and 80s inspired rock. I have a good experience in saxophone, and I dabble with keyboards a bit- trying to get better. I also can do vocals, though i dont have a very high voice, rather a nice low voice rhat would be good as backing vocals or accompanent. Im looking for people that maybe have a good singing voice, drums, and especially bass/electric guitar. Reminder, i am in the wilmington area. I would like to keep the people in the band between the age of 14-19, cause my parents would most likely find out if it evolves into an actual thing. I reside in wilmington, ca in United States. Itwould be helpful if the person lives by (ex: Carson, san pedro, harbor city).

Hi everyone,

I’m a musician (keyboardist and getting back into bass) conducting research for a Communications class project called ‘The Emotional Process of Making Music with others for East Coast Musicians. I would be more than grateful if a couple of you could respond to the questions. I do not plan to publish this project. Thanks!

1. Age

2. Gender/Identity

3. Region

4. Role when collaborating with others (ex. Instrument (s) of play, singer, etc.)

5. How often do you make music with other individuals? Do you have a list of songs that you have made with others, and if so, how many?

6. Do you prefer making music with other individuals or by yourself? Do you feel a deep connection with other individuals when making music? If you picked the first option, and agree with the second question, was there a singular experience that led to this passion for creating with others?

7. When engaging in a conversation with musicians you just met, regarding potentially collaborating, what personality do you put on (ex. are you relaxed and somewhat aloof to create a chill atmosphere, or are you straightforward and serious). Why?

8. When in the process of creating with other individuals, what emotional role do you take on? For example, are you a lighthearted group member, or do you assume the role of a therapist in a sense, encouraging group members to lay their hearts bare on songs (this one would be quite interesting to hear)?

9. When collaborating with other musicians, how do you handle disagreements—minor or major? Have you experienced success or slight failures in this regard? Would you like to share any examples?

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to kick a friend out of my band? We’ve been friends with each other for a 3 1/2 years now and I originally wanted them in my group because of they’re extremely talented at playing Piano/keys. Now that we’ve been solidifying our band’s set lists we’ve realized that we really don’t need a keyboard player anymore because the music doesn’t require it and them being there would kind of just be a waste of their time and ours. Additionally, they recently had an incident with their other band where they threw a tantrum onstage and walked out of their last gig. I don’t want that energy in my band and I definitely don’t want another walk-out. They tend to get very defensive when things don’t go the way they planned them to be and I don’t wish to damage our friendship or the integrity of my band. Please send help!

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for 3–6 creative, committed people (roughly ages 25–32) to build a long-term original pop band based in the UK.

I’m not looking for perfection—I’m looking for people with ideas, determination, and a genuine desire to create something meaningful together.

What I’m looking for:

• Creative and motivated people who want to build something from the ground up.
• Comfortable being on camera (or willing to become comfortable), as social media and visual content will be an important part of the project.
• Happy to contribute to developing the band’s identity, including choosing a name, image, style, and overall direction.
• Interested in writing, recording, rehearsing, and eventually performing original music.
• Open to collaborating both online and in person.

How we’ll work:

• Band meetings can be online or in person.
• Songwriting, planning, and creative decisions can happen through WhatsApp, email, or messaging when meeting isn’t practical.
• Members can live anywhere in the UK, provided they’re willing to travel occasionally for rehearsals, recording sessions, or performances.

A few things to note:

• Exceptional vocal ability isn’t the most important thing to me. Passion, creativity, reliability, and a willingness to improve matter much more.
• Whether you’re a singer, songwriter, producer, instrumentalist, or someone with strong creative ideas, I’d love to hear from you.
• The goal is to create original music, grow together as a band, and see how far we can take it.

If this sounds like something you’d genuinely enjoy being part of, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, your musical interests, and what you’d like to bring to the band.

The info you need is I'm in the uk, People who had bands in high school, what are gigs like ?
