How do I find/start a band?
Me and my cousin have been searching around for ages to try and find a drummer but we are having no luck, although he's managed to get a place playing bass in this Indie band (even though he hates indie music), so now I'm just left out to dry.
I've been thinking of just trying to write a few songs by myself and then performing alone at a few open mic nights to try and essentially make connections, but my voice is pretty shit.
Any suggestions?
Go to local performances around your city/town. Meet the other bands and musicians. Ask them if they know any musicians that would be interested. They would most likely speak up if they were interested themselves.
Music scenes in cities are usually very small and every gigging band has probably met every other gigging band and would know if there are any available musicians.
That being said, you should be as good as the other musicians if you want them to play with you.
Good luck buddy

Thanks for the advice man, I will definitely check it out, although I am only 17,
so that might be a factor, I will definitely try to see if there are any local bands playing, cheers for the idea.
The only problem is that I live in a relatively small town, but I'm sure I'll find a band eventually.
