Where are you. I'd meet up and play with you. Especially if you have original songs.

>tfw your band gets on America's got talent
>tfw you make it to the quarter finals.
>tfw you get voted off and realize it's completely rigged and was a terrible experience.
>tfw you get offers to go on tour afterwards, but the singer refuses because she doesn't want to miss school.
>tfw band falls apart because of this.

Everyone's a flake here in north east Ohio and drummers are impossible to find. Every band I've been in has fallen apart because of drummers.

>tfw they just added a roastie to the band and you feel the whole comfortable dynamic is gone

I don't know what she's like but I think this is a death sentence

>>35662398
The band will probably fall apart because of her. Female singers are a dime a dozen and most of them are extremely needy.

Nashville, but planning on moving back to portland in 2 months

>>35662485
Darn. I'm probably going to end up moving to Nashville later this year.

>>35662049
Damn that's a harsh feel

>>35662328
Here in Nashville drummers are easy to come by it seems, its bassists that are hard to find

Well good luck to you. It's a pretty cool city.

bump for interest

>be in the orchestra for an opera
>sit next to qt3.14 violin player
>she reads my last name in the program and asks me where I'm from
>tell her my parents are from argentina and honduras
>"So you do you prefer food from Argentina or Honduras?"
>autism kicks in
>"Well... I really like mac n'cheese"
>she thinks it's funny and talks to me the rest of the show
I might just make it bros

Also,
>tfw no one to start a jazz combo with

>>35662553
well, there is barely any truly argentinian food, 90% of our local recipes comes from Europe or border countries, so you answered pretty well

>>35662553
Know any awesome jazz piano players to check out? I'm really into hiromi and Oscar Peterson

>>35662505
>>35662499
I'm literally a bassist

>>35662049
You from rowlett texas?

I feel like I've seen this before

>>35662916
Dallas fampie. And I've never posted this experience before

>>35662929
No, I mean I feel like I heard about that scenario elsewhere.

Did a bit of Google and found this

>tfw classicly trained oboist
>went to school for blowing into sound-making tool instead of getting something that actually gives you a secure job
>only get to play in orchestras if someone is sick and only get first chair position in orchestras that play in one horse towns and don't pay you for shit
>can't join a band because no one wants an oboist unless they're pretentious hipsters who only play in coffee shops to other hipsters who are too nice to admit that they like shit music
>can't openly talk about classical music because the way i talk about it goes over people's heads and i come off as incredibly pretentious and rude
>have to pretend to like pop songs and not get on a soapbox about how they're all shit
>have to listen to people who claim to love music but can't even read music like someone claiming to love reading but doesn't know the alphabet
>have to play meme pop songs on a meme instrument like the guitar to even get some kind of recognition for something i spent my whole professional life working for
>hate myself more and more every day and just wish i had gotten a real degree instead of betting my bottom dollar on an actual meme instrument no one cares about
If you're thinking about going to school for music, DON'T. Unless you can't get in to a highly prestigious school, being schooled in music is a waste of time and effort. Get a real degree and learn music on the side by all means, but don't do what I did.

>>35662049
That's really cool, man. Sorry things didn't go better though.

Tfw I have to compensate for the other guitarist and play bass in the recording, essentially making me half the band, but the other guitarist gets more attention because boobs.

She can't even play to a metronome for fucks sake...

>>35662998
I'm still good friends with the drummer, but we could have made a lot of money of the singer wasn't a stuck up bitch.

>>35662985

I play viola.

I almost went to the conservatorium, but decided to do science at the last minute.

The joke is on me though, there are no jobs in science either.
