Members KeroseneTrewthe Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 The band I was with for about 3 years disbanded yesterday. Some members just lost desire and it wasnt fun anymore. Stinks. I do have an interview with a band Saturday to see what they are about so we'll see....

Members Detox Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 Same happened to me a couple of weeks ago (actually, I quit). Chin up, at least you're not looking for a new band at 47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tdempsey Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 kerosene, god luck with the new venture. i'm in the middle of the same thing, trying out for a new band wednesday after leaving the band of the last year and a half. i would give up if i didn't love to play out so much. sometimes i can't believe some of the music i'm willing to play to gig (Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi), but that is where its at. hang in there. i know it's sad.

Members B-Bottom Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've been bandless for a few months now. I've jammed with a few bands and just wasn't feeling it so I may ty to get my own band together who knows. It's been nice not dealing with all the {censored} that comes along with being in a band these past few months, but I do miss playing. Lucky for us we're bass players so we can be more choosey about what band we go with. Bands seem to always be searching for us:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to get into a new band once winter starts setting in, but this time I don't want to be the one doing all the f'n booking, advertising, website, etc. I just wanna walk on stage, plug in, grab a beer and play.

Members basshunter Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sorry to hear it KT. My old band essentially did the same a bit over a year ago. Took me a year to find something meaningful again, but I'm back at it. Hang in there, things will work out for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KeroseneTrewthe Posted October 20, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah, when I was with the band I was asked by three other bands if I was able to play with them too. With my family and work and the church band it was impossible. But im excited to move on. Hopefully land in a cool band. The one thing I want to find is a place where its a democracy creatively and not a dictatorship. I like to work together and not to be told exactly every note to play. Its probably rare to find. My last band was very open creatively so I know its possible. hey Detox, luckily there is a pretty good music scene here in Detroit area. Im in the Port Huron area about an hour north. The band is in Rochester Hills that Im looking into. Its a bit of a drive but if the band is cool then its worth it to me. Good luck finding something! Thanks for the positive words.

Members Perfessor Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 The three piece jazz group I play with only plays out every couple months. My problem is my work schedule of all afternoons and now I don't even know what hours I'll be working next year. It could be back to all three shifts on a rotating schedule. A grind and very tiring.. I'm still gonna play somewhere and I'm always looking to form a new group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 Bummer for sure, but if your heart's not in it, the music probably won't be that great anyway. You'll find another, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely on to the next. Nah its cool. Its just a bummer cause I was the one trying to always keep people motivated. Trying to get everyone to practice. We had great songs. A pretty cool sound. I wanted to make sure it kept going but it didnt. So...well... Our songs wont be on the web much longer so if anyones interested in checkin' out a song, listen to "Face to a Name". Go to the website: www.otherguydrive.com then just click the music link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
