What is going on my friends, on this cloudy Tuesday. The leaves are leaving. The sirens are sirening, and the wind is winding. The sun periodically breaks through the distant clouds.

I am seeking to join or start a band who happens to like the strokes, café tacuba, zoe, lumineers, beatles, cool shit you know. vibes type shit.

I am a born and raised new yorker from east harlem. my parents immigrated here from mexico in the late 90’s. I am currently in guitar school. I have written a good number of songs. this past june I released a single called, “WHEN I LOOK AT YOU”.

you can hit me up on my instagram. talk to me nice.
let’s make it happen. let’s go to JAPAN. let’s go to Red Rock.

P.S My friend Luisa made the art for song shit fire

Hi all! Male multi-instrumentalist here looking for soft female vocals. I’m heavily influenced by Beach House, The Sundays, Men I Trust, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Curve, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Sound of Ceres, Furns, She’s Green, Sea Oleena, Grouper, Alvvays, and many many more

The demos I have so far are acoustic with a few effects laden ideas. I really want to build this from the ground up with a songwriting partner. I do write some lyrics but I cannot sing fyi

Anyway, thanks for reading and hope to hear from you! DMs open :)

Hey yall

We are a guitarist and drummer who are planning to jam Wednesday night at Astoria Soundworks, if anyone is interested in joining lmk!

We plan to jam/play Pine by Basement but this is gonna be a no pressure casual jam

I am personally inspired by alternative rock but whatever you like to play is welcome. Some of my favorite artists below

The Strokes, Weezer, Pixies, Basement, Arctic Monkeys, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Turnstile

Not gonna lie it's been daunting to lurk around a bit here to see everyone's been playing their instruments for most of their lives while I've only basically just started on mine... So just making this post to see if other beginners would wanna get into a practice space together, either to a few agreed on songs or just to noodle around?

I live in Queens but willing to travel anywhere that's cheap and has a house kit. I've looked in Astoria soundworks and Gramercy studios, but open to others!

I just moved here as an au pair. I’m an experienced singer who has played gigs since I was 15. Since I haven’t played with anyone in NY, I just want some people who are down for casual jams, or even just checking the scene out with me. My vibe is classic rock (Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Jefferson Airplane) and similar stuff. :)

I’m from Brooklyn, but I just graduated college and moved back home. I’ve been playing guitar on and off my whole life, but I guess I’d call myself a beginner because I can’t do anything crazy, just the basics to carry my vocals (which are much stronger). I have experience playing in a band and can learn fast; I mostly just want to meet some cool people and get back into it.

Hey, reposting here to hopefully find some new connections. More details in og post but looking for musicians interested in mathrock/midwest emo/punk genres to jam or form a new group in the Brooklyn to Manhattan area. Credentials and requirements in the og post but willing to work with anyone 18-25 pref with atleast 2 years of experience. Dms open!

Hi! I posted here a few months back about starting a VGM group, and now finally looking to get it off the ground starting in Aug/Sep.

Looking for a drummer, bassist, and instrumentalists of any sort! Message me for details.

Hi all.

My writing partner and I have written an album's worth of original rock songs under the name SuperExcellent. Musically, think melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock influenced by bands like Green Day, The Clash, The Who, and The Replacements. Now we're looking for young, motivated musicians who'll become the band.

Here's what that means:

We wrote the first album, but the band will shape the arrangements, record the songs in its own style, and perform them live. Those songs become part of the band's catalog, and from there we'll continue writing new music together as the band grows.

This isn't session work, and it isn't a backing-band gig. The goal is to build a real, long-term original band, using this first album as the foundation.

Think of it this way: instead of starting a new band with no material, you're starting with a professionally written album that's ready to become your own.

Here's the playlist:

SuperExcellent Demos

If the music resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Very funky electric bass player looking to play with people/bands. I’m a 31yo male, been playing for over 20 years. Went to music college. Located in Brooklyn. Have equipment and transportation. Play 4 and 5 string. My influences would be Chuck Rainey, Anthony Jackson, MonoNeon, and Larry Graham, so you get a sense of what style my playing is like. Will happily provide audio/video upon request. I’m accountable and professional. I take this very seriously, though also a chill hang. If you need a funky and jazzy electric bassist for your project, I’m your guy. Thanks for reading this!

Hi if you are a saxophonist and/or violinist
please message me
i would like to include the lovely sounds of the violin and/or saxophone into my tracks
that i could have on stand by

i’d love to build on chemistry as well :)

Hello,

I am a 21 y/o male local to the NYC metropolitan area. Looking for bandmates that would want to play things inspired by different mathrock-y emo bands like Faraquet, Train Breaks Down, with a blend of smoother bands (Ribbon Fx, Jejune).

I am a guitarist/singer primarily, so I would primarily be looking for a drummer, a bassist, and maybe another guitarists, but I am open to suggestions. dm me!

Anyone like jam bands (Grateful Dead, Phish, etc) and/or classic rock and want to jam? Putting together a relaxed group to chill and jam. Will coordinate where based on group. Any instruments welcome. DM me if interested!

Hey,

I’m a drummer looking to learn more about NYC jam sessions. Do these sessions usually have house kits? Any advice for someone getting started? I’ve been drumming for 10 years but am very new to public jams in NYC.

Heya, 23m guitarist looking for bassists/drummers to casually jam with! I'm based in south brooklyn but can get to manhattan pretty easily. Influenced by all sorts of artists within the rock spectrum but I'd say I identify most with Elliott Smith and his playing style/philosophy. I can also shred to faster and heavier stuff if that's more your style. If this interests any of y'all feel free to DM me or leave a comment below!

I started a bi weekly jam in Gowanus, the next one is Mon 6/29 at 7pm at Pirate on 6th st. We are looking for any bassists or additional instruments that might be interested.

We do have a drummer and a couple of guitarists already, but please reach out if you are interested, I may be able to link you up with some of the other artists that have reached out to my previous post.

So far these are the songs we have been focusing on, but we are open to suggestions and throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks!

Comment, DM, or reach out on Instagram @kanemmusic

hey all,

we are a pretty fresh trio of guitar/bass/drums all ~30s M who want to add keys (primarily) and possibly another guitarist. at least one of them is ideally also a vocalist

We meet mid-week around 6p in midtown at studios like Funkadelic or Musicmakers!

So far it's a combination of covers, improv/jamming and fleshing out original ideas. Jam rock, funk, jazz, classic rock, post-punk, etc.

Inspirations: King Gizzard, Allman Bros, Phish, Cream, shame, Slowdive, the Fearless Flyers, Wilco, Herbie Hancock, Mac DeMarco, Jimi, QotSA, old surf music, jazz and funk classics..we all listen to all sorts of stuff. For me the important thing is that the material is actually fun to play and not just good to listen to.

Here are a couple clips of us messing around earlier this month (this one started as the River):

Hi! We're a group looking for beginner/intermediate jazz musicians who want to rent a studio together in Midtown Manhattan for 2-3h practice sessions approx. ~1x/month. We'd be playing jazz standards.

Currently, we have piano, bass, vocals, and drums. Horns would be great but any instrument is welcome, including the ones I listed!

Would also be happy to meet any other classic jazz-loving friends who want to go see shows!

Two dates in July

7/19 at Gutter Bar and 7/30 at Rubulad for a Fundraiser.

Bonus points if you’re lgbtq+ all 3 members are trans and we’ve sorted developed a schtick by accident. (Gay Weezer cover band). This could lead to a permanent drummer position as this band was formed as a Halloween tradition and now is being asked to play year around. Message me your favorite Weezer song and if you’re available to meet up twice for practice at red not rehearsal studio before 7/19.

Setlist for 7/19 (possibility to swap with songs from classic setlist below)

Perfect Situation
No One Else

The World has Turned and Left Me Here
Dope Nose

Hi, 25f drummer based in midtown Manhattan. I like playing 90s rock the most, like Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, QOTSA, RHCP type music. I also enjoy playing 70s rock. I’m down to play covers or write originals. Basically any high energy music like that. If anyone in their 20s or 30s is interested in playing lmk. I’m only looking to play in Manhattan.
