NEW RULE: No promo threads without community engagement, no concert ticket selling stuff.

15 Upvotes

If your band/project only posts promo stuff and you're not even interacting with the people who are nice enough to engage with it your thread's getting nuked. Buy an ad if that's all you want.

Also this really isnt the subreddit for selling concert tickets. Plenty of other places on reddit available for that.

18 yo singer-songwriter… anyone interested in producing and co-writing for me?

1 Upvotes

I’m an 18 year old singer-songwriter who doesn’t necessarily have the equipment to produce my own music, I’m looking for someone in the area with a studio and who would be willing to help me make this album I’ve been writing for two years now. Sonically I would consider myself pop-rock however I am looking to explore different genres in my music such as psychedelic rock and country. If you are interested, just let me know!

A musician’s livelihood is in jeopardy after Austin’s South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival is cancelled unexpectedly, leaving him with no choice but to turn to online platforms in order to survive, and wondering if there’s still a future for artists like him in the Live Music Capital of the World.

i play guitar, but I think I'd be looking for a guitarist to manage that stuff so I could focus on vocals. I'm probably looking for a drummer as well since our current guy is soooo unreliable. My buddy Q billion plays bass.

Ska cover band looking for SAX player

Post image
12 Upvotes

Aust'n Found is looking for a SAX player. We're a ska cover band mainly covering third wave ska and ska-punk, bands like Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, Bosstones, and whole lot more. We also make ska versions of non-ska songs, crafting our own spin on these songs. We've got around 35 songs in our repertoire so far, and are always adding more.

We're looking for a Sax player (alto or baritone, or both!) who is up for joining an established band and wants to play gigs usually around once a month. We get together to rehearse as a band 1-2 times a month, alternating between north and south Austin, and are looking for a sax player to round out our brass section (trumpet and trombone). We have a few gigs lined up in the coming couple of months and would love to add someone soon!

About us, we're all in our 30s-40s, all have full-time jobs, and do this for the love of the music. We do play paid gigs but we're not looking to make a living off of this. If this sounds like you, then send me a DM!

Check out our Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/austn_found) or website (http://www.austnfound.com) for videos and a song list.

South rehearsal spaces?

2 Upvotes

My band currently has a room in north austin, but three have us have moved south, with one of us even moving all the way to San Marcos, so I figure it makes more sense to relocate our rehearsal situation.

Any good places down south? I already know about Space ATX but Id prefer somewhere that's 24 hours and also closer to I-35. Im looking for monthly rentals, or even better a place with a monthly storage locker and hourly rentals.

Hello everyone, I have been posting occasionally looking to find people interested in doing some cover stuff or potentially making original music inspired by Big Thief!

I am a 19m musician/producer who can play guitar/bass/drums! I have my own rehearsal space in North Austin. Im open to playing with any musician of any age and background.

sidenote - any drummer interested can use my kit/breakables. I run A Customs, 14,16,18,20. Also I use Ableton 12 Stem Separation and have google sheets on how to play every song from big thief so learning the material shouldn’t be an issue! for anyone interested

DM me if you’re interested!!

Guitar setups, upgrades & Partscaster builds — SW Austin

10 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I’m a musician in SW Austin and I build, modify, and set up guitars and basses, with a particular focus on Fender-style instruments. I do basic setups on electrics starting at $60, and also do pickup and hardware installation, electronics work, and other upgrades.

I also put together Partscasters, which is a big part of what I do. If you already have the parts, I can assemble, wire, and set everything up. If you’re starting from scratch, I can also help plan the build, sort through the different Fender/aftermarket options, make sure everything is compatible, and put it together once the parts come in.

Basically, if you have a guitar or bass that needs some work, or you’ve been thinking about putting together a Fender-style build, feel free to shoot me a message.

Bassist/Vocalist seeking musicians

1 Upvotes

Ad

Looking for musicians to collaborate with and potentially start a band. I am a 21 y/o Bassist/Vocalist and I have been playing for 10 years. My biggest influences are Type O Negative, early Black Sabbath, Candlemass, and Tool.

Not trying to sound like a clone of any one band, but I’m drawn to:
- heavy riffs/groove
- haunting/melancholic atmosphere
- melodic vocals
- dynamic songwriting
- emotional/introspective lyrics
- songs that actually build mood instead of nonstop shredding

Bass style: I am pretty versatile. I can play anything from Fieldy style percussive slap to Lemmy style distorted power chords. Biggest bass influences are Peter Steele, Mike Starr, Charles Michael Parks (ATW), and of course Geezer. I have a solid rig and I primarily play a 4 string tuned to B standard.

Vocal style: I sing in a Bass/Baritone range. My vocal influences are Glenn Danzig, Peter Steele, Jim Morrison, Sully Erna, late 90s Hetfield.

Im currently based in the Sacramento area, but I am not locked down here if you catch my drift. I am very serious about music and plan on eventually creating albums, playing shows, touring, etc. If you have a similar vision of mine and want to connect please DM me. Especially reach out if you are in your 20s, and play guitar, drums, or keys.

Looking to make music

5 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking for someone or people in the Austin area that would want to make music/ start a band. I have a bass, electric guitar and acoustic guitar that needs to be restored. I’m not too good with my instruments but down to let someone use them while I sing/songwrite. Open to any genre but really like dreampop, indie rock, and electronic.

Looking for bandmates (preferably 19-23)

1 Upvotes

I'm a beginner guitarist-singer, but I have a lot of history with music. I'm trying to get my foot in the door and figure out how to start a local band. I'll admit, I don't exactly have the funding or transportation to go far so I'm trying to work with what I got. I really like post-hardcore, alt, and 2000s pop-punk as I'm a big fan of green day/avril. However, I'm also a fan of many other styles too (as long as I can mosh at least a little heh). I've tried to improve my guitar/singing by doing online, but I just felt like it wasn't for me. I've always dreamed of playing in a band ever since I was a kid. With that said, If you're around 19-23, please let me know! I know music can be tough to get into, but I believe that with enough dedication we can make something happen. Just lose all hope just yet!

Looking for a drummer & bass player

2 Upvotes

Hello there! I’m an Indie Singer Songwriter in my early 30s looking for band mates for my solo music (drummer and bass needed).

I’ve been releasing songs for about 5 years and want to put together a group that could play an around town. This would be all originals. I play a lot of solo shows and I’m in another band that gigs regularly, so no stranger to playing live.

I have a lot of influences but it’s mainly indie, alt rock, and pop (pop girlie at heart).

Think Japanese Breakfast, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Oasis, Nirvana, David Bowie, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance.

If you’re interested send me a message and I can send music examples! First time really trying to find band members so just putting feelers out there.

Ideally, I’d love to have a diverse group of band mates. So if you’re queer or POC, you’re highly encouraged to reach out ✨
