You can either sue them or killl them
>>
>>72237541
honestly if this is true, the only thing you can do is pull a dave mustaine and start an even more successful band

of course your chances of actually pulling that off are pretty tiny since you're a drummer, not a singer and you're definitely not as talented as dave.

but go for it man. revenge is the best medicine

Don't they legally have to pay you a certain amount if they kick you out as opposed to you willingly leaving? I'd check up with a solicitor on that sort of thing if I were you.
>>
>>72237541
Become Robbie Williams, he's been dumped by Take that in a simmilar way but became even bigger.
Why would they care about ''image'' when they haven't made a single concert yet? If it's really about image, why not changing it? You can be fat and ugly but a proffesional can make you look like a rockstar with a lil bit of make up, clothes, haitcut, accesories, that's exactly how it works in showbiz.
But honestly getting signed doesn't mean much, especially for an indie band, 5 years is a big term, if your(band's) music would have been good enough, you'd be already rocking on stage

This may not really make you feel any better, but for what it's worth:
Those people are cunts. It's already been said in the thread, but they're are straight up wankers. If they had concerns about you, they should have brought it up with you, but instead they couldn't grow a pair and face you about it, so instead they went behind your back to auditions straight away. In the long run, you wouldn't want to be in a band with them anyway.

Godspeed, I hope you can find another way to pursue your passion
>>
become a better drummer than whatever drummer replaces you and then find a way to reaudition to your old bandmates. Chances are they'll prefer you because you're a Day 1er from their POV, and they'll want you back. And you'll be a better drummer
>>
>>72238140
disregard this - didn't realise that it was your bandmates and not the bigwigs booting you out

use this as "sad backstory" for your wikipedia page when you become 1000x more successful than them

Part of me wants to say things like get a haircut and practise more, but I don't know how bad or good you are at drumming and how bad or good your 'look' is, so yeah tough shit man. But I'm kind of reading like it might not be too late yet? As in, they haven't replaced you yet but are auditioning, so maybe you could try to convince them? Otherwise fuck 'em, they're gonna play shitty venues for 50 dollars + gas for the next years and then have huge gaps in their resumes.

Want to know if someone is creative and capable of making art that isn't 100% derivative? Check their band name. If it's two words and begins or ends with "pussy" (Mannequin Pussy, Thunderpussy, perfect pussy) then you have the answer

That's true anon.It's always the singer.

Should've been a better drummer/less shit of a person. Mainly though you should've been in more than one band, you were basically asking to get your life fucked by putting all your eggs in one poorly-made basket like you did

name band and let /mu/ destroy them publicity by accusing every single member of rape.

Thanks, OP, I will be sure to check them out, since they care about the quality of their musicians enough to replace them when necessary.

What's wrong with your image? Try to be as brutally honest with yourself as possible.

>>72237541
Who cares about getting signed in 2017? You're working in a dead genre in a dead scene, probably making regressive music that was done better 20 years ago. You need to step back and think.

She's a leader by nature. What struck me the most, she clamed my ''image didn't fit the band'', while she always appeared on sessions with hairy armpits and greasy hair, sweating like a horse.

Fuck 'em, total bunch of fucking losers. If they were willing to sell you down the river, especially as a founding member, then they weren't real bandmates to begin with. Start something new, something better. Maybe not so much out of spite but out of the necessity to not kill yourself. It's trying times like these that make or break people. Pick one.
>>
You should expose them when they release their LP, make sure they get shit on and thrown out of the scene

if your band members are willing to kick you out because of your "image" then fuck them. they don't care about music or having fun obviously, they're just in it for success or money. i would suggest you go on social media and explain what happened and expose what kind of people they are.

Exactly my thoughts. If that is OP in >>72241846 then his image really shouldn't be that detrimental to the band. He looks like a generic 30 year old indie musician.
>>
>>72241846
at least you look decent.
>>
Had something similar to op's situation happen to me. Shit really stung because I thought that the guys were my close friends, but apparently they thought that I looked that bad for the band image or whatever. I am admittedly a little overweight and wear glasses, and didn't fit the kind of punk alt rock image they were going for, but I could have tried to change my appearance if they had just asked. Still, it fucked me up pretty bad. I feel for you OP, I would just say to forget them, but I know from experience that it isn't that easy to do. Try to move on and make them regret kicking you out. That's what I have been doing and even if you aren't successful, it still is very good motivation to keep working at trying to improve yourself.

That's what my thought was, but they were more into looking like they didn't give a fuck instead of actually not giving a fuck. I didn't look like a member of the strokes so I got the boot.

>>
>>72237541
two questions OP
-How did you spend 5 years thinking those people were your friends ?
-Why do you dream of one thing and count on only one project which furthermore relies on other people to follow this dream ?

You could kill yourself, or, maybe, start your own project and in the future think twice before you call someone friend and put your dreams in his/her hands.

Op start your own band using helium to change your voice, you know it gets kinda tuned from helium, it's pretty funny and original.
