If we hire this guy, we'll have a five piece band. Surely he deserves a 20% cut......

Cowbell (Wineville)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]



I am Julio a cowbell percussion specialist available to help make music rock harder in your band. I do not play drums, tambourine or bongos only cowbell. I was raised on a dairy in Wisconsin and I had a one of a kind relationship with a heifer, do you suppose that had an influence on my desire to play cowbell. She gave me a fever and the only prescription is: MORE cowbell.

Anyway I have shared the stage with many magnificent bands including Billie American Idol, The Rainbow Unicorn, 80's Rewind and Harry Blondie. However from that experience which helped me to grow up musically strong I am looking for a permanent position with a true professional band that wants me to perform on the big stage for them with my powerful cowbell THUNK in their band's TRUNK! My name is Julio I live in Wineville (Mira Loma) and I look forward to hearing from you so you can looking forward to hearing from me and my magical cowbell, it's rhythm is so precise for dancing, music and fun. Let's make music, the wonderful product for every ears.

A prog-rock band is advertising a "casting" on October 10th for a vocalist with a submission deadline of October 8th. You can contact them for "detailed information about the casting, conditions of participation, and location". Looking at their page they've been around since 2007, have played less than ten gigs and have a four-song demo recorded.

Pretty typical for this thread I guess. Funny how narrow the age window started out... I bet he opened it up to 21 hoping for alcohol :p

At least he used punctuation, avoided all caps and *gasp* used something resembling proper grammar. That gets a +1 for me. Though, I wonder if the group name is a misspelling, or on purpose.

Yes but in The Commitments a heck of a lot of people showed up at the audition of a band that did not exist, including Link Removed.

I want to start a band and you must...
I have original songs you must learn....
I will audition you if I decide...
I'm 12 years old and you must be able to keep up....(I presume potential band members Dad's must own a big station wagon?)
I'll decide what we do......
Send a picture (?) and info to..
Still - I remember the first "band" I played with. We spent as much time choosing a name as we did learning our craft! But we never had big egos. (The singer did and he died of an overdose whilst trying to cope with his perceived fame). Some friends even went on to great music careers. Do these writers realise how many experienced, but wary/jaded musicians there are in the market?

Still..
If anybody wants to sit around and jam with accoustics, never be famous, and look fugly with an older (50's), jaded 6 string player who has another solid 6 string that has a plug that goes to a black box that makes it louder, and has the ability to be flexible, play some standards and whatever else comes to mind, on an irregular basis just for grins. Please reply. No gigging envisioned, but if a local "play for beer and tips" comes along, I'm game.
Simple stuff and some harder stuff that takes much work is fine. (No finger-in-the-ear- folk music, religeous or "diddly-dee" songs. If it requires a chick with hairy armpits, Birkentocks and an Ovation to be present to make it work, I'll probably screw it up. Even flexibility has its limits).

The name BTW was "Athenas Quill". (The band name). It was 1970 after all. Feel free to use it if you are planning a Blue Oyster Cult tribute band.

I had the misfortune of playing with a drummer recently that would most likely fit this project, as he had NO concept of how to play "real" music :rollno:


Avant Garde/Minimalist/Noise/Lo Fi group seeks more musicians (Surrounding Areas)

Group of young humans seek more young humans to bleed ourselves of whatever is troubling us. There is nothing required other than you hate this generation, and you leave your musical knowledge and influences at the door. **** music and **** MTV. Be warm blooded and vocal about your hate and contempt for our peers, and be willing to display this zeal in public.

We're not trying to sound like any other band, we just want to express out frustrations and our primal desires, so if you're wanting to bring some kind of personal influence to this, please don't respond.

The concept is: one 4/4 beat, an instrument playing one note for several minutes, and all other instruments doing whatever over it.
We're following the works of minimalist composers such as Philip Glass, John Cage, and John Cale. Being ignorant of this genre of music is A-OK. And being inexperienced at your instrument is also OK. We don't want skill. We want PASSION.

Also, you can play whatever instrument. Piccolo, Ocarina, Glockenspiel, Guitar... it doesn't matter; we don't care. Just reply.

if you're interested, email me at: [email protected]


:p ...

I need a rickenbacker because I'm forming a rem coverband. I really want that rem sound and I know they played rickenbackers.

i have a custom bedframe for trade, but you f****r better sweeten the deal by throwing in a gig bag or some new strings. No lowballers!

I have a substance abuse problem. Also I beat up girls (sometimes even my own girl). I want to find a hardcore Christian band who need a ripping guitarist. I have the best equipment money can buy, and a new car. I don't get too ****ed up when I'm working (unless I'm encouraged). Check me out, I'm real good.
