Victoria Musician I have decided to start this list due to the support from the musicians on here. I am planning on having a list of victoria musicians arranged by Intsrument, location, stlye, etc. You must submit your name and contact info through the email address listed below, and must be willing to give me your phone number of course. I will then, through that quick call, veryify you exist, and place you on the list. I have the means and a way of distributing information to people who will in turn use to find you! This is totally free, and I guarantee your discretion.
18 and over ONLY please. Please email me with at least your first name and what you play. ALong with a contact number. That number you give me will be the number I give out, only after email confirmation. This is a total AMATEUR project. I have no experience in this, but i am an experienced musician who has a little ideal which i believe may work! - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 6:41pm

The point of Victoria Musician List, as can be found in internet directories, is a one on one email between myself and those searching for musicians. Instead of answering one Ad, a person can answer my ad and recieve many results, once confirmed with musicians. It is a hassle free, and SLAGGING free way of getting a musician! - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 7:50pm

Hey lemme know if you need help with that, I work with ASP and could whip up a great display system to run this list, i can even supply the webspace, then people can be added to this list and others seeking musicians can go to the site
and check it.

interested in my help?

Well then, seems this is getting off to an amazing start. Just from this one post, i have recieved more replies from ACTUAL musicans than i figured possible. I have recieved some co-operation in this project from another musican. Once was just a hands on approach, now there will be a website. This site will not have any chat rooms, or message boards, or any other means to having the "typical" posters provide their ummm "unique" opinions. Please provide a name, instrument, and contact number if interested. Please let me know what your age is (must be 18 and over) and as well as your style. This information, will then be only given out to 'seekers' through your confirmation. I feel this will be a very easy and no "bull" approach at finding other musicians. - Wed, 18 Jun 2003 5:15pm

Still, I gotta wonder what this ageism shit is.

I've known fine musicians under 19 who could likely play your ass off.

Victoria Musician List has now amended its list to include minors. There will be denotation accordingly. The reason being for this "Age-ism" is based on the majority. I am sure there are also kids under 18 that can drink me under the table. This was purely a legal issue! Hey i was once 17 adn i was a rockin player! - Thu, 19 Jun 2003 3:33pm

Hey, VicMus: You may want to familiarize yourself with MINORS around Page 15 of the following online document:

I am not concern with liquor laws I AM NOT SELLING ALCOHOL, i am providing a service which involves Verbal COntracts and Written Contracts. Although these are very small and innsignificant contracts, there is still a service provided which RELIES on the iformation and agreements coming through., i am not concerned with Minors playing at bars, i amnot concerned with minors drinking their faces off. WHat i "was" concerned with was, DEALING WITH MINORS. Because as you must KNOW, a minor cannot leaglly enter into a contract without the consent of the legal guardian. Or i should say, A minor can enter into a contract, but as soon as there is a problem of any kind, the minor can back out. Case closed. So, my self, as an adult, chooses to work with adults only. Is that a problem? But you failed to read the above post, i guess. Thanks for your interest! Stop crying - Thu, 19 Jun 2003 6:12pm

this started off sounding so great and now you're on your way to demonstrating a character that people are not going to want to work with. nowhere above did i see any mention of you being concerned with contractual law and minors. in fact, i've been following this thread and thought you were worried about minors playing in licensed areas as well so don't slag others if things aren't clear. there's nothing wrong with saying "im sorry you don't understand; let me rephrase..." - Thu, 19 Jun 2003 6:48pm
The Ref Cut him some slack. This is a new idea for him and I happen to know that he has been working very hard on it. This idea will help everyone network allot more efficiantly.

Perhaps between this, his many bands, instruments and day gig, he's a little stressed. Cut the man some slack! I'm sure that he's sorry! - Thu, 19 Jun 2003 8:28pm
gup All you under 18 weenies - hey, you can't be part of this. Go get a paper route or something. - Thu, 19 Jun 2003 9:28pm
victoria musician To the person posting saying I am going about this wrong, and starting to show characteristics, unwanted! Well, 5 or 6 post up, i have said there will be a minors section. This website will be very beneficial. Stop Crying - Fri, 20 Jun 2003 8:23am

Hey, im working with Victoria Musician List on this project (the tech guy). The system is going to be soon up. This could be really great, just spread the word to people if you know any musicians.

if anyone has suggestions also lets hear em' now. - Sun, 22 Jun 2003 3:25am
The Ref You might want to consider including Nanaimo. You should also have an experience meter. Something on a scale of 0 to 10 and 10+ (0 being no playing experience, 10 being 10 gigs or sessions, +10 being highly experienced) this lets others know the experience level of the prospective player. - Sun, 22 Jun 2003 1:00pm

The website is being worked at very very hard, by crazylegsmc. It is at 50% i guess. This will be up very soon. Hey give us a break, we first started this LAST WEDNESDAY!!! It will be up and running for everyone to enjoy. An easy way to egt a musician without all this SLAGGING bull. !!!! Just that alot of changes to come up, since i dont know shit about comps, and thought it could be done exactly like i wanted it too!

PS: At first it was going to be a private only list. NOW, the member chooses whether or not he/she wants the music instantly accesible by others, or if they would want it to go through us first (eliminates slagging). - Mon, 23 Jun 2003 6:13pm
Anonymous Unforthinately there victoria musician guy, it's not the venue for posting, it's the people! Gonna get it anywhere you post. Even if you don't, halve the people or more will just post and never follow up or show up to an audition. Lotsa hot air in this town! - Mon, 23 Jun 2003 9:50pm
Anonymous Yup, true enough, I have found that there are allot of talkers here but very few serious doers! It's too bad to cause it's such a great town.

Every band member is in twelve projects and most of them never take off! So they go back to talkin about it for ever and a day! Several months later, in twelve bands again and none of them take off! Back to talking about it again...etc... - Mon, 23 Jun 2003 9:52pm

SkullSplitter Victoria Musician:

*Not that you are*
But don't listen to these immature little bastards calling you and this awesome idea of yours down.

This is the most innovative idea I have yet to see posted anywhere on here, and if you are including a minors section and these kids still flame you... chances are, theres no way they could cut it with a real band anyhow...

I , like anyone else who is looking for likeminded musicians to jam with, have sent you a mail with my info, and definately am looking forward to seeing the turnout which im sure your new site will provide to the serious musicians out there...

The novelty of having someone else *aka. you, hehe* do all the leg work is prime, no to mention the bullshit free environment in which you are making *See my post for a perfect example of how the immature morons populating this board make it an undesirable place to look for other aspiring musicians*

Furthermore, I design video game levels, am expirenced with 2d and 3d art and animation etc. so if you don't allready have a graphic designer whos offered to create you a logo, or some other graphics etc. I'd be more than happy to do what I can for you in my spare time, you allready got my email so if you need any help just flip me a message!

Great idea once more, and all you kids in here need to give this guy some f'in slack, hes doing nothing but trying to help us all! - Tue, 24 Jun 2003 1:52am
SkullSplitter Victoria Musician-
PS: If you'd like to see a website in which I have made which does have pictures of some of the game charecters I have created, and is riddled with my graphics just Email and ask, I'd just post it here but I dont need the children on here flaming the good people who who now reside there!

Posers Do any of you geeks actually play in any bands that actually play shows? I hear all this talk of "actual musicians" but it seems most of you guys are complete unknowns in the local music scene (and I'm not just talking the punk/metal scene).Maybe if some of you guys spent less time on your highhorse "I'm a real musician"rant and less time talking about it,limited your time to one band instead of 13 try-to-be bands, you tools might actually go somewhere wih this. - Wed, 25 Jun 2003 9:04am
Anonymous Wake up and smell the real world coffee there junior! Most musicians are unknowns! But you're right about the 13 band syndrom. People should try and concentrate on keeping just one together! - Wed, 25 Jun 2003 9:52am
