Why isn't there a "musicians needed" section on the HC?

I'm serious. There should be a "Musicians Wanted" and a "Musicians Available" section of the forum, maybe split up by regions. I know there is probably a member of a band in Columbus that needs a drummer, or singer, or rhythm guitar player, that posts somewhere on the HC. We have no way of making that connection without a devoted section for musician hookups.

Thrustin, is Craigslist, CowtownMusic.com, ColumbusMusicOnline.com, and Cringe.com not enough for you?


I'd say we could give you an audition on drums, but we're kinda in a weird spot right now...

 

 

I thought cowtown was done. I haven't been on cringe in a while. I'll check em out. I needs gigs!

How has your search been going?

 

 

The problem I find with Craigslist is age difference and genre difference. I mean you can say in your ad that your looking for "this age" and playing "this genre", but your always going to get something you dont like... maybe like an 60 year old claiming he can jam like he was 20.

 

You've gotta give leeway in the ads you put up, your not going to find the "exact" right person.

 

Thats why I think maybe having it in forum format might help, allowing you to see their profile and influence, and being able to talk to others through personal messages without having to produce email clutter.

 

I dont know how many other forums do this, but I think HC has so many categories now that adding 2 more concerning this subject wouldnt be that much of a hastle.

 

All in my opinion.

www.bandmix.com... It's fairly new, but I really hope it catches on. You can even post music and pictures in there. I used it to find the guitar player in my current bad and have auditioned a drummer from there as well.
