    Just wondering if there are many of us out here?

    All the musicians I hang around with are guys, and I sometimes feel awkward not being able to 'talk gear' with fellow ladies...

    Am I being the awkward one? :(

    I'm the only woman in a band too.

    When I'm with the lads, I can talk freely about technical music stuff. If there is one of my female friends around, she usually is bored beause she hasn't a clue about what we're talking...

    I just wish I knew more ladies with which I'd be able to talk about guitars/amps/whatever effect pedal etc; basically be friends with women who have the same interests and hobbies as me...

    Yeah i know a few female musicans. Just the other day I went with one of them to help her get a good drum kit.

    Got a female singer in my band too. She also plays piano very very well. And for a laugh played bass during rehearsals.

    Yes...I know the feeling..being the only girl in the band! It's had negative and positive sides for me, the negative being the cause of my currently band-less state! (Although I could blame that on going to college and moving away too..)
    Do you get treated differently in the music scene (sorry, that sounds lame but it's the only way I could think to describe it!) because of being a girl? I'm just curious because I noticed that when I was in my bands. I've been in three bands over about three years and each time I felt like a bit of an outsider..sigh. :rolleyes:

    I say call yourselves 'The Oasisters':D

    Often I find that at gigs like The Cardigans or Lisa Hannigan with Damien Rice that they spent most of their time getting whistled and whooped at.

    Its unfortunate I know, but I think girls in bands is great and are more often than not really cool girls.

    Hey! I've tried to play guitar but I'm terrible at it. I do sing, my problem is finding a band who actually want a girl singer. Its very frustrating.
