Why can't I find anyone to play with? Is livevictoria the wrong place to look? Are there no bands out there other than metal,punk and same-old rock bands? Is everyone 16 years old & just starting out? Help !

anyways....

We're a bass player and a drummer.

We are in our 30's and are looking for something a bit new and fresh. We're both creative and experienced on stage and recording and have good gear and good attitudes.

We'd like to join a solid unit that is already or is close to performing, or meet a good vocalist and/or guitar player possibly who already has some songs or song ideas.

Not looking for:
- anything really heavy
- country
- folk
- boring old same-old

>Sorry, what is boring old same old? just had to ask

Good question, I'm not sure I know the answer to that myself :)

I just meant that we're looking for something that is maybe a bit different or creative. For example, we don't want to be in a 70's classic rock cover band.

hope that helps... - Wed, 30 Jul 2008 8:42pm

I'm a vocalist with lots of songs that don't really fit my band and could get into something trippy, creative, moody,(and I don't mean emo) or however you want to describe it.

If you want to hear my voice check out:

Obviously there needs to be some talk about what direction everyone wants to go in, but sometimes the best stuff comes out after starting with something completely different. I play enough guitar to write with, but am a long way from playing any lead so grab one of those and let's sit down for a discussion if you like.

Cheers,

User Info...
My name is Steven Del Rizzo and I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist who is influenced by Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and many more...

I create a folk alternative fusion of east and west. I experiment with different genres at once and make music that is very unique. I have written over 95 songs that have gotten much response from those who hear them. I also perform sitar inspired instrumentals on classical guitar.

I have had much difficulty in finding a bassist and drummer who wish to perform and practice as much as I do


I perform regularly at The Green Goddess Cafe in Fernwood. The inner harbor and have performed at many other venues.


If you wish to hear my music and see video of me performing http://www.stevendelrizzo.com


My email is [email protected]

Hope to hear from you

Take care,

so I wrote a short message quite a few weeks ago and got no reply, which could mean you want more information or you're not interested. Either way a short reply would be appreciated. Especially from someone complaining about other people in this town.`;) anyway I have some samples at http://www.bandmix.ca/gino these are by no means a strict musical direction that I follow, just what I have recorded lately.
I hope this get's me a response... - Wed, 10 Sep 2008 4:30pm
