Any musicians in this board?

I think you'll find there are plenty.
I'm a drummer... and no jokes that drummers aren't musicians

actually a good drummer will make or break a band, what type of stuff do you play? or listen to?

With the band I'm in we play lots of stuff, but we'd mainly be considered funk rock, still, we play jazzy number, heavy rock, Doors style stuff, country... everything.

You can get some of our older recordings here;

The Jive Principle

What instrument\sort of shít do you play yourself?

bombidol

i play guitar and bass and a tiny bit o the drums, i sing too, im trying to put something together Rock/punk/Metal, i reckon i have a bassist but i need guitarist and a drummer cause i want to go frontman and drop the guitar, ill write tunes but i dont really want to play guitar and sing, cause i done that for a long time with a band and i never really liked it. its tough trying to get something new off the ground but its tougher finding people to do it with.

hey, this is a good thread! singer (classically trained with a patti smith fetish) here, mainly. also guitar (mainly rhythm), mandolin, sparse keys, accordion and tin whistle. actually i have some sort of pet project in mind, blending irish and punk/ alternative influences (velvets, iggy, patti, r.e.m., who, white stripes etc.). basically i like the idea of creative freeform messing, so to speak... actually, if anyone is interested in that, feel free to pm me!

ive been writing a lot of lyrics lately, very political/What about us theme to them, which is strange cause i usually write about personal stuff or complete BS, but this new project im trying to get going really has me going, i reckon this could be "The Peoples Band" i might post some of the lyrics/Words.
Some of it might not make sense to you but i can hear the music in my head for them, anyway let me know and ill post up a few snippets.

Am a guitar/keybords/singer/programmer man who,in a fit of peak, bought a hammond organ last year, a 1963 L100. It makes lovley noises. Influences are kinda AIR and The Band esque.

am a virtuoso on the stylophone.

buy and sell is yer only man.

i bought it up north in the bowls of Tyrone answering an add in buy and sell. i couldn't understand a word the lad selling it said except "aye" and "free state", but it works fine even though it'd been in his barn under hay for 10 years.only cost me £200 and i even got loads of fenian songbooks in the stool(very dodgy bloke)

put a wanted add in buy and sell you never know what'll happen..now i'm going back to play whiter shade of pale for the 100th time.....

Any trumpeters, saxophonists, trombonists or tuba... tubans out there? Interested in getting involved in some instrumental, left-of-centre material?

You would have free-reign and it's a cushtie (if not-necessarily-money-making) number.

Thomas from Presence

I'm a guitarist myself. Yep another guitarist........

Arch

Hi Thomas. We're up for an alliance, aren't we - your act and my act, for an evening of unusual tunes?

There's some good stuff happening these days... have you seen Trouble Penetrator? Drums, Double-Bass, Guitar, Decks, Sax, keyboards, vocals - and lap-top, believe it or not.

scuzzy

Well I play guitar, drums, bass guitar, piano, tin whistle, violin, bodhran, and triangle(:p ), and occasionally attempt to sing...

loveonautocue

yeah. another drummer, though lapsed somewhat. keep promising self that i'll put kit back together tomorrow (at the moment it's kinda randomly scattered around the room being red and slightly dusty not-furniture among canvasses and forgotten installation pieces). haven't quite gotten past today though for months. goddamn procrastination.

other then that, classically trained pianist who plans on branching into jazz, sing a bit, do some songwriting when i'm not busy doing nothing. eventually want to be involved with band but given lofty ambitions and schizophrenic musical influences, will probably not bother or perhaps do solo thing. await with fear. or better yet, forget i said anything.

all the projects mentioned incidentally sound rather cool, or at least, vaguely interesting. good luck!

jayzis, i know what you mean about dodgy blokes... when i sold my accordion (a new one from e-bay is on the way to me as we're speaking) cos i was sick and tired of it and thought i'd never want to see or hear one again in my life (how wrong i was), i sold it to the first person who was ready to pay the actual value at the time, and he was proudly displaying fencing scars on his face from his time as a frat student. now, german frats are not like american ones. german frats are well known as breeding grounds for the nazi intelligentia... so i sold my squeeze box to a nazi, and he probably plays nazi party anthems on it or so... the only hope i have is that it won't let him cos it was so used to left of centre stuff it'll just squael when asked to play that or something... i have to openly admit that i bawled my eyes out right after i closed the door after him, first because i suddenly realised i had sold an instrument, then because i realised i had sold it to an asshole and then because i realised i had sold it to a nazi asshole. and remembering how much money my parents had paid for it when they had bought it for me as a kid didn't help either... listen to my wisdom: never sell an instrument, and certainly not to assholes! anyhow: buy and sell seems like a good idea, thanks!
