Drummer and a singer/guitarist seeking bassist. Must really, really, enjoy old Sabbath records. The lead singer of a gazillion selling band around here is one of our biggest fans, and just played on our upcoming major label debut album, but then again, lately everyone up here has been getting signed to a major label.

No, I love Andy Summers. The Police had another guitarist before he joined; Stewart Copeland invited Summers to sit in to help the other guy get up to speed. What I wrote would have been the ad he replied to. They fired the other guy when it became clear he couldn't keep up, before they started recording, and Summers became sole guitarist.

Female singer/bass player seeks band
Asian singer and bass player seeking musicians to replace my last band, who my management recently fired. Based in the Chicago area and signed to Sharpe Records. The old band played venues such as the Gasworks alongside acts such as the Jolly Green Giants and the Sh*tty Beetles. I've been told that I really wail!

Thanks for the info- Though a big fan of the music I'd never known that and haven't read any history-of-the-band books on them.

Melvins (and how many times have they put up this ad? There was a time where almost every Melvins record had a new bass player )

This is the only one from the entire thread that I got. I think that says a lot about me.

Winner! I'm pretty happy with the relatively stable addition of Cody and Jared from Big Business. Freak Puke hasn't been as impressive IMO.

I'd answer but, y'know, "WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

"Female Country act seeks new press agent. Must have a pulse on the political sensibilities of the typical country music fan."

The Sh-tty Beatles? Are they any good?

(They suck)

Then it's not just a clever name.

Blues band looking for new guitar player.
Hi, CL! Our current guitar player flipped out and is unable to continue playing with us. We're a Blues band that has had some moderate success in the UK, and we're looking for a guitar player that can take us to the next level. Although we are a Blues band, we are open to more Pop and Rock styles of music for us to do in the future.

Punk rock band seeking new vocalist as our original vocalist is going to make the name of one of our previous records come true. Will probably rename the band after our current record.

Nope, also a jam band. There's an album title in the clue.
