Also, please note, I am relatively new to bass (1.5 years on the bass) but not new to playing in bands (17 years on drums, played my first paying gig in 2006 but prior to that I played out in front of crowds in non paying gigs) This is the first band I am a part of where I did not know any of...

Hey guys, So as I posted earlier I am now out of the originals project I was in and within 20 minutes of serching for a new project I began talking to this guy trying to put together a 70's-90's Hard Rock Cover Band. He sent me a preliminary list of songs that he is thinking of. He has 2...

Depending on where you are in the NH area (I am assuming you are from New Hampshire based on your profile) Those songs may work. My experience with bar gigs is that you need to have more energy Bluesy/ Rock songs for that type of thing to work. Songs I've Seen (Seabrook to Rochester Area)...

I went from playing drums to playing bass and I know what you were going through. My first show (a 4 song set at a church) was 1 week after I started playing bass. I stared at the fret board the entire time. Its been a year and a half since i started playing bass and I feel a lot more...

My band Happy Time Harry just released our EP. We are based in Wakefield, MA (I live on the border with NH in Amesbury MA) and I figured I would put a link to it here so you guys could check it out. http://happytimeharry.bandcamp.com/ let me know what you think

Wait... you let your keyboardist have TWO hands!!! :p

I'm not a entertainment lawyer, however based on my experience, hiring a lawyer, or at least consulting one who is in the right field, can give you a better idea of what your options are. People often wait too long to get legal advice and it hurts them in the end. I do mostly criminal defense...

two basses can work well together just like two drummers can in the right circumstances. I have jammed as a drummer with a group of people for fun with other drums and it can really work you just need to make space for each other and not step allover each other. With bass I'd imagine that this...

I've never joined a band from an add, I've only come into it from friends or whatnot. I have only been part of 5 bands and one was more of a one off gig thing backing a friend of mine play at a bar. But what I'd suggest is avoiding judging a book by its cover. If it looks somewhat interesting...

Sounded good. If you have all your material at that level that's awesome. If you guys were playing a place around me I would stick around and watch.

While I agree that it can be frustrating when people don't play the "recorded" parts its those times when they don't that the magic happens. Some of the best gigs I've played have happened when band members play something different from the recorded part and it just feels so right. I'm a...
