Emerald Dawn @ Emack & Bolio's Uptown Tonight (Guilderland)

Come on out and join us for some great Traditional and Contemporary Irish Ballads and Drinking Songs at Emack & Bolio's Uptown Shop, located in Town Center Plaza on Route 20 in Guilderland, just past Crossgates. Show starts at 7:00 and there is no cover, though tips are always appreciated. Come enjoy some ice cream and/or coffee and bring your singing voice!! See you there!

This is God again.

Apparently there has been a mistake and someone has removed my post. Let me please reiterate. All of that "christian rock" does not please me. I like Klezmer. That's why the jews were my chosen people. They were the only ones playing music that is soothing to my ears. But lately I've also been getting into light jazz. Please - all of my faithful followers - if you wish my blessings, do not play loud music with distorted guitars and loud, booming drums. That reminds me too much of those filthy Cana'anites and Philistines. Play some klezmer or light jazz. Then you will receive the bounty of my blessings. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a very hot place, and I'm not talking Cuba here. Also, to the unbeliever infidel who removed my previous post - there is already a special place reserved for you in hell. In the back, right near the restroom doors. The service sucks there and everytime anyone opens the doors.....phew!

crushing drummer available (oh albany)

whos that in the picture???

not technical, not fast.
small old kit, big old sound.
influences: todd trainer, mac mcneilly, elvin jones, greg saunier.
best practice space in albany. huge tube amps. assiduity records.
folks with traditional values/views need not contact.
no rockstar desire. no normal venues (clubs,bars,etc). no posing. no wanting attention.
nothing cool. nothing hip. no business as usual.
very nice and caring, just tired of the bullshit.
with love and hope...

Fireside pizza den update (Valatie NY)

@ the Fireside we been doing Open Mic & Jam there for 2 months now...The crowd has been slowly building up
Last night had to have been one of our very best Jams so far... You have to come and experience this to believe it.
The musicians we had all seasoned pros for sure! The people dinning at the fireside had a magnificant show.
The kind of show they put on you just dont see anywhere. It's a different ball game when everyone comes unrehearsed totaly cold and just do what they do....
Like I always say in these ads if you're looking for a musician for your band or starting a new one...come down to this, you may just find someone or make new friends...the crowd we have here are great people.

Our next Jam will be on Dec 4 -7 to 11 pm we are taking a break for Thanksgiving weekend...

DIY Hardcore (Troy)

I'm looking for one drummer and maybe someone to play bass to start a mediocre mid-tempo screamy melodic hardcore band to make passionate (if skeptical) music. Atheism, veganism, "politics," diy ethics. These are the things I miss screaming about. Here's a link to my very old, long-dead band: http://www.myspace.com/anarrowinflight
I won't play bars. I don't want to make records (we can record medium quality mp3's at home - I've done it lots of times). I don't want to even make american Apparel shirts (I might be persuaded to print on thrift store and found shirts). I don't want to tour in a petroleum powered van (I've been driving on waste vegetable oil for over 5 years and have gone cross-country lots of times, so that's possible someday). I'm just not into useless artifacts and consumption.
I also play drums a little and would be glad to switch up sometimes if you can play guitar, but mostly I want to scream.
Style? I would play brutal hardcore if I knew how? I mostly play mid-paced melodic-sounding stuff. I haven't played much in the past four years. I have electronic drums we could work with at first if you don't have a kit (and it means we could practice at my apartment if we're clever).
Gender benders and critics, feminists, anarcho-punks, and nihilists welcome. Nike-wearing jock core kids need not apply.
I'm not a good drummer, but I would even consider trying to work with somebody who doesn't know how but is interested in learning to drum.

P.S. I am still straight edge (have been for - holy shit - 18 years? That can't be right... What the fuck!), but I don't expect you to be.

drummer needed, electro-rock (Rensselaer)

www.myspace.com/standardissuecitizen
www.standardissuecitizen.com

Wrapping up mixing on our debut CD in a couple weeks. Looking for someone to help us better pull it off live. We'd love it if you are open to mixing acoustic drums with midi triggers.

Ages 20-25, three existing members including vox/guitar/keyboard, keyboard/percussion, and bass/keyboard. We all work day jobs and dedicate a couple evenings each week to practice.

Please give the music a listen, if interested, send us an e-mail. Influences are broad, not as heavy as Nine Inch Nails, heavier than typical electro artists.

Oh yeah, no drugs etc at practices. Don't care what you do in your personal time.

Best Engineer in Town??? WTF?

So we're to understand that the "best engineer in town" works out of a hair salon? Do you actually have official Pro-Tools training and certification? What gear do you use - I mean, hardware, not "fruity loops", but real actual mixers, recorders, outboard effects/compression/mics/preamps, etc.?

Rock Band Looking For Talented Singer!!!! (Capital Region)

Three piece rock band looking for a talented, young singer.
Singer should have his roots in the blues and rock n roll, and should be well versed in funk, R'n'B, jazz, and anything else that is really good.
This band is very eclectic, but the nucleus of our sound is a very powerful riff based approach, drivin by a tight rhythm section, and a guitar player that is so fucking good, so fucking original that...well, you'll just have to see it for yourself. Ideally, we would want someone that is a screamer(i.e. Robert Plant, Ian Gillian, Steven Tyler, Paul Rogers(Free-era Rogers...Bad Co. is good and all, but Free will forever surpass them)). But everyone knows that a mid seventies british-blues rock'n'roll singer is really just a white boy singing(a-hem, screaming) R'n'B, so somebody who can sing R'n'B(if you think of "Bump and Grind" by R.Kelly when u think of R'n'B, this may not be the band for you) is much appreciated. Funk vocalists, and Jazz vocalists are also fair game. Emo/Hardcore/Fagcore/girlspants-core/jam band kids/DMB lovers need not apply. We are about Rocking AND Rolling. Not crashing into you, and slitting our wrists.
Ages 18-25. Applicants a little older will be cut slack, just as long as you aren't some middle aged fuck-wad having a mid-life crisis or some shit, like most of these fucks on this site.
We got some connections, but we believe hard work gets you where you want to be.
Were al great players, have a great chemistry, and all we need is a kick ass singer. So if you can sing, and you want to get the fuck out of Albany, this is your chance!
Please e-mail back, and please include any sort of sample tracks that you my have that show off your singing skills.

seeking vocals & Keys

We are currently seeking lead vocals and a keyboard player to round out our group. We play blues/jazz. contact scott 518-253-7170

Rookies (Cohoes)

Looking for vocals and keys for a rehearsing band based in the Cohoes area. Male or female, preferably with no previous band experience or" it's been a long time since...". We are a group consisting of 2 guitars, bass and drums and we recently lost our female lead vocal. We are an older group, average age is in the 40's and several member have never been in a band before. You will have the opportunity to assist with song choice and will help influence the bands direction. We prefer music from the 80's, 90's, 00's and alternate rock so our window is huge. We had all been playing our instruments in our own basements for some time and we got together a few months ago. So come on, get out of the basement and give it a shot and help us become an "average" Albany cover band. We have hopes to play out in 2010 sometime. We meet about once per week, all working with families so the band is not a super priority right now, but we are a dedicated group.

Accoustic Singer/guitarist looking for the same - Female preferred (Capital Area)

I'm tired of gigging alone and would love to share the stage and my experience with someone who's willing to build something special in the music scene. Age, race and background not important, just want, commitment and desire to build something special. My voice could easily compliment a female vocolist's voice and visa versa, in both lead and back-up. Creativity in both cover and original misic is a huge plus!! I have all the sound equiptment neccessary for all types of gig's. I'm excited and anxious to get this off the ground, hope to hear from you.
Rockin Ron

hey, there is talent in albany!!! come down to savannahs friday 11/20 to see The Relics, psychedelic rocknroll,(original tunes influenced by the stones, beatles, kinks, bjm,velvet underground, etc.) check out our myspace, myspace.com/therelicsjams , we just finished recording our first LP but only a couple rough mixes are up. come see the live show!!!

Need a Funk/Blues/Soul Singer (Capital Region)

Local funk, blues, soul, folk, roots/rock band is looking for a soulful singer (male or female) to front our group and is willing to put in some time to play with some experienced, enthusiastic musicians. If you also play anything else (guitar/harmonica/etc..) that could be a possibility as well. We are currently a four piece (Slide/lead guitar, bassist, drums, and Keys(Organ/Clav/Piano/vocals) looking to pick up a singer with some chops that loves to play some upbeat and/or bluesy material and get people dancing. We are all in our mid-to-late twenties and are very serious about making good music but also have other full-time jobs. We all have some experience gigging locally and really want to get this thing going ASAP with a good singer at the helm. Were all very easy-going guys who like to get together and jam and have a good time. We would love to have a few informal tryouts to see if we can find someone who fits well with our sound. We play a bunch of originals and covers at this point and we are always working on writing more or learning more. We want someone who is really passionate about music like we are and will practice so we can become a solid band and start booking more gigs as a full band.

To give an idea of our sound, we like to play a mix of upbeat rock, funk, and folk/blues to more jazzier, soulful stuff. Some influences are Allman Brothers, The Band, Grateful Dead, CSNY, Phish, Soullive, Neil Young, Gov't Mule, MMW, Talking Heads, Clapton projects, Traffic, Derek Trucks, Taj Mahal, Herbie Hancock, BB King, Buddy Guy, etc... Our original material is in the same vein as most of these groups as well. Please drop us a line if you are interested in joining a group serious about music and you want to bring the funk. Let us know what your into and well send you a few songs to have you look over. Sorry for the long winded ad and thanks for reading.
Cheers!

BB King, Muddy Waters, Cream or Hendrix, Miles Davis, George Benson.

Members have expierence with big name acts including, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Savoy Brown. etc.

We have PA/lights to handle most any clubs.

Price will vary on venue, time etc.

Interested parties send email for available dates.

I'm confused

Because of the posting titled "Looking for Above Average Bands". It's confusing because what passes for above average around here is far below average for NYC, LA, etc. So are you speaking in a relative sense? Also, you are asking for bands that play "danceable" music. Could you give some examples of what you mean by "danceable". Do you mean disco? Or maybe more like Madonna (or other flavor of the month pop singer) or are you looking for more of a techno groove? At any rate, it's confusing because I've seen bands with very little sense of rhythm, but the chicks in the bar were so smashed, they shake their ass anyway. So apparently, around here, just about anything can be danceable if the women are drunk enough. Please elaborate a little more fully on what you're looking for.

Looking for Backing Band (Saratoga/Greenwich Area)

Just looking for some people to jam out with really. I'm a singer songwriter but always welcome another guitarist. I've got a about an album and a halfs worth of orignal music written and would like to go into the studio but I'd like the clout of a complete band to flesh out the sounds.
What's it like? A touch ecclectic to say the least and not really typical but very melodic. Mostly accoustic indie rock(?) but also a touch of reggae/funk/blues/hardcore/pop. If your curious I have SCRATCH tracks at myspace.com/stonewhitemusic. Definitely not the finished product, just an idea.
Interested, email me. I'll make you famous.

Band looking for a drummer (round lake/capital area)

Original rock band (not metal/punk) looking for a drummer! WE'RE JAMMING THIS THURSDAY and we need you! Our vocalists are vocalists and not screamers! We even harmonize. We're not looking to take over the world, just play a couple of club gigs every once in a while. We practice at a house in Round Lake every Thursday night. We all work for a living and some have families too, but we enjoy making music, having fun and would love to get out there and have it heard! But there's only one thing missing, A DRUMMER! How crappy would you think a band was if they were playing to CASIO beats on a keyboard.......WE DON"T WANT TO BE THAT BAND!!! If we don't find a drummer soon, that's what it will have to be. We're all in our thirties but age is of no concern. Music is the common ground! We have places to gig, we've gigged before the kids were born. We've been on stage and on the radio before, it's nothing new to us. There are no egos in this band either! If we were U2 or The Rolling Stones, then we could have egos. But we're not, we're humble as pie! You can respond via email or call me, Jason, at 281-5669. PS, bring your favorite beverage!

Looking for whatever (albany)

Evolution Talent Network

What is this company? Has anyone joined? At $50 a member per month it sounds pretty steep. It may not be a scam but it is a sure way to separate a musician from his/her money pretty quick.

The founder claims to be "ridiculously successful" as a radio executive however a search of any radio directory does not turn up her name. C'mon if you were as successful as you claim to be there would at least be a breadcrumb out there on Google, All Access, FMQB, Radio & Records or any number of directories out there. I also find out curious that she designed and managed festivals for 50,000+, yet does not mention them. There are not too many festivals (music speaking) in the US that have that draw. It is strange with all of these accomplishments that they are not listed in the biography.

There are also no bands listed as well.

Anyone have any experience with these people?

RE: Myspace (Clueville)

Myspace is dying a slow death to facebook. Look at the facebook traffic compared to myspace!

Finish Off Your Recordings Right

Almost anyone with a computer and a microphone can make an album these days. The problem is, it's easy to settle for the wooden sounds of programmed drums to finish off your recordings. Either that, or a bedroom drum sound that lacks the punch and roominess of the real thing.

Finish your recordings right with custom drum tracks from SteveTheMusician.com. Get a sound that's huge and tight, without blowing your budget. All-inclusive song packages starting at $65 per song. Click the flyer and start finishing your recordings right. -Steve

Rising Singer/Musician Searching for Band Members (Albany/Latham/Troy/Schenectady)

Hi,

I am an up-and-coming female artist in search of band members (around the ages of 18-26). I have worked with a publicity company out of Brooklyn and am now starting with a company out of RI to help promote/build more of a fan base. I have recorded in NYC and sing in the pop/rock/latin genre. I am looking for mainly a drummer, bassist, & lead guitarist....possibly percussionist or keyboard player may be neat, too. I am looking for members who are going to take this seriously and are willing to tour (starting out locally). But most importantly, to have fun with it!!!!

Think Shakira meets Pat Benatar and other artists like KT Tunstall, Juanes, etc. I am bilingual so that is part of the pitch (but you DON'T have to be bilingual to be in the band) For now I am playing out solo acoustically and the response is awesome so now I just need the band to support it and do popular covers in addition to my music. I have been fortunate enough to have had my music played and featured in podcasts internationally, have placed as a finalist in an international songwriting competition and have had placements in certain online magazines.

For more information please email me and I will give you the specific links to my music, email, etc. If you are interested or know other musicians who may be interested please have them respond to this post. I'm ready to break out and would love to have some great musicians come along with me!

Gloversville, NY looking to start

Looking to start a new band... I am a guitar player with tons of riffs and excellent writing skills... looking to start a political band that will not be afraid to write and stand up to the corrupt government that is taking our freedom and liberty away from us... i am 39 but i really don’t care about age... my music is hard and not "death" more along the lines of heavy metal or hard rock... i want a band that is intelligible and clear with its message.... we don’t have to be fantastic to start (that is what practice is for) but everyone must be willing to attend practice at least once a week if not twice.... If you want to meet up for a cup or a beer let me know and I will be more than happy to chill and talk for a few...

Rock Band looking for sick ass singer! (albany)

Three piece rock band looking for a talented, young singer.
Singer should have his roots in the blues and rock n roll, and should be well versed in funk, R'n'B, jazz, and anything else that is really good.
This band is very eclectic, but the nucleus of our sound is a very powerful riff based approach, drivin by a tight rhythm section, and a guitar player that is so fucking good, so fucking original that...well, you'll just have to see it for yourself. Ideally, we would want someone that is a screamer(i.e. Robert Plant, Ian Gillian, Steven Tyler, Paul Rogers(Free-era Rogers...Bad Co. is good and all, but Free will forever surpass them)). But everyone knows that a mid seventies british-blues rock'n'roll singer is really just a white boy singing(a-hem, screaming) R'n'B, so somebody who can sing R'n'B(if you think of "Bump and Grind" by R.Kelly when u think of R'n'B, this may not be the band for you) is much appreciated. Funk vocalists, and Jazz vocalists are also fair game. Emo/Hardcore/Fagcore/girlspants-core/jam band kids/DMB lovers need not apply. We are about Rocking AND Rolling. Not crashing into you, and slitting our wrists.
Ages 18-25. Applicants a little older will be cut slack, just as long as you aren't some middle aged fuck-wad having a mid-life crisis or some shit, like most of these fucks on this site.
We got some connections, but we believe hard work gets you where you want to be.
Were al great players, have a great chemistry, and all we need is a kick ass singer. So if you can sing, and you want to get the fuck out of Albany, this is your chance!
Please e-mail back, and please include any sort of sample tracks that you my have that show off your singing skills.
