Swine FLu Vaccine is Killing People. Mass graves are dug, (Ukrainian Gov't is blocking media ffrom )
"Thousands people died (in Drohobycz) not from the disease but from the
vaccines."
"Thousands people died (in Drohobycz) not from the disease but from the
vaccines." People are lying dead on the streets in Ukraine, and military are blocking the roads, preventing me from going into my town. Also, there are mass graves filled with bodies covered with lime in this rural area. The Ukrainian government is blocking all media access, and preventing bloggers from sharing this
The HN1 Vaccine is related to the deaths, why is the government forcing everyone in this country to take the vaccine? To brainwash us, to kill us, or to weaken us?

Al Qaeda never existed, Documentary (Government Deceives Us, Sells Us )
What is real, and what is illusion in our society, in our news information given, and force-fed to us? Are what we see in the news just a series of intricately weaved narratives? In other words, are the news media selling a "movie storyline"? Does a few people create the news, news made from their imaginations? Enjoy the video about this thought

Dixieland Jazz Band looking for musicians (Buffalo)
Hi everyone,
We're a group of young guys/girls (around age 23) that have been playing Dixieland music regularly for the past 4 years.

A drummer - that can possibly play washboard
A bass player
Preferably a banjo player/guitarist
2 more horns (cornet, sax, trombone)

This is a serious band that has connections into some of the local bars and studios... we are looking to do a couple of *PAID* gigs and then record a demo soon... only contact us if you are INTERESTED AND DEDICATED. We are more than willing and able to teach you the songs we do- just contact us if you are interested.
That being said this band is extremely fun to play in and incredibly high energy. We're looking forward to hear from you.

Bassist looking for band
I've been playing bass pretty seriously for about 20 years and I'm in my late 30's. I've heard my style described as a mix of John Entwistle, Geezer Butler and Steve Harris. Basically holding down the fort, with a bit of improv and some tasty licks. I'm into all styles of rock, metal, alternative, etc. and I'm looking for a band, either covers or originals. I'm fairly flexible and I'd like to practice no more than once a week, and I'm open to doing as many shows as we can, without overkill. If you're an original band, send me something I can listen to so I can gauge your style. If you're a cover band, please send me a set list so I can see if it's something I'd be into doing. Thanks.
Bassist looking to join or form original HEAVY band
I play bass. I'm looking for an original, HEAVY band, or some people who want to start one. I've been playing a long time, have good equipment, transportation, all that good stuff....I am influenced by so much and want to wrap it all into one tight, disgusting, sometimes beautiful package: Pantera, Lamb of God, Sabbath, Metallica, Opeth, Zeppelin, Exodus, Dream Theater, Into Eternity, Priest, Maiden, Mastodon, Wolfmother, Tool, Meshuggah etc. etc. etc.
I don't want to limit the songwriting into one genre. Obviously I want this to be an extremely heavy band, with a huge groove, but....maybe a few vocalists trade off and on....Maybe we write something stunningly gorgeous and acoustic...only to cave yer chest in with a crushing riff and some double bass.....or some 3 part harmonies in the middle of all the brutality. I guess I'm just trying to say let's write some cool heavy sh!t and see what happens. Thanks.

If interested in teaching let me know how much it costs per lesson and whether or not you will teach in my home or you have a place that you give lessons only. Thank you

Bassist looking for some good music to play (Tonawanda)
Hey everyone, my name is Mike. I am 23 years old and just moved up a couple months ago from Jamestown. I've been looking around for something musically to get into up here (one of the reasons I came up).
A bit about me:
I've been playing bass for about 6-7 years. I've played live "gigs" in various settings probably once a week for the last 5. I have my own gear, along with guitar gear. I'm actually a gear-head...but finances usually hold me back from spending my whole life savings on instruments.
I have a car and a job. I don't drink or do drugs or anything like that. I don't mind drinking but its not for me. One thing I DO NOT want to deal with is druggie band members, band members with ego problems, band members that insist on getting drunk (I only like to deal with people who drink in moderation), or band members that don't thoroughly enjoy what they're doing. I would much prefer getting into something with people my own age...but that's not a big deal. Genre-wise, I listen to just about everything...minus most metal, rap, pop, country. I have played and will continue to play anything that interests me. Right now though I'm looking for something along the lines of Indie, Rock, or Folk-Rock type stuff. Something creative, possibly unique...and fun. The irony for me is I find seriousness about playing in the fun of playing. If it makes me smile being at practice and shows, then I'm into it. I think that sums up what I wanna do.
Nonetheless...if you're looking for a bassist that has the ways and means to get the job done, will do it efficiently and consistently, and wants to have fun let me know. If you have and established band or music for me to hear email me that. Thanks, hope to hear some cool stuff.

Bass Player, Anybody??
I'm a 32 yr. old bass player that's been playing for awhile. I am currently looking to join/ start some kind of band. I would love or prefer a 3 pc., but I won't be picky. I can play anything and am used to being in 3 pcs. and filling up the space. I have a excellent musical sense and am willing to take a shot at some vocals if necessary. My equipment is decent, just waiting for that right thing to come along before I invest in better gear. My influences are Widespread Panic, Gov't mule, Ben Folds, Weezer, and anything mainstream that was recorded before 2001. I can practice and jam after 8pm any night of the week, sometimes earlier if I'm off that day. (This feels way too much like a personal ad!!) I also enjoy long walks on the beach, star trek conventions, and watching the sunset in adjacent bathtubs on a secluded beach in the carribean. Ok, Sounds Good, Oh Yeah, Must Love Dogs!! Perfect.

Lead Guitarist looking to start or join band (buffalo)
I am a 24 year old dude looking to join or create a band with some people that share the same passion for music as me. I've been playing guitar for roughly 10 years or so, and i focus primarily on lead. I play styles from rock and roll, metal (when it was good), and to instrumental stuff like satriani. Please no hardcore or death metal, grunting vocals ect ect. I need people who love metal back when it was REAL metal, but also willing to combine that with an exploration into similar styles. I'm a nice, laid back person. I'm always willing to put in the extra effort, and will never complain when a band mate is having a mental block, it happens i know. I just want to write music with people and have a fun time doing so. I collect guitars, so I have something for every style of music. I have 15 guitars currently, along with a marshall stack and a buncha fun effects. I feel that currently my song writing isnt near what it could be without a band to write with and help bring each others ideas to life. Feel free to message me, and i can send some clips of some of my stuff before we get together, or whatever. thanks for lookin at my post!
EDIT- i also dabble in drums, violin, piano and bagpipes but not so good lol
Bassist/acoustic guitar (Buffalo)
Looking to join existing project, pretty much anything but hardcore/punk. I'm not really into jumping around a lot on stage. I'm not old, I'd just rather let my fingers do the talking, and the walking.
Acoustic Friend with benefits (Northtowns)
I've long used the analogy that in a lot of ways, being in music groups is a lot like finding/dating a significant other. You have an initial period of infatuation with one's style of playing, you agree to form a band, you have ups and downs, and eventually break the whole thing off, and form a spite band with random other people just to show your ex bandmates that they were wrong for dumping you for the less talented bass player with the better gear. Sound familiar at all?
Anyways, what I'm looking for is a guitarist who is interested in playing coffee houses, open mics, staying primarily acoustic. Versatility is a plus, and multiple instruments is great too, if one of us decides to pick up a bass or conga for a tune or two. My influences include Dave Matthews, Matthew Good Band, Pete Yorn, The Band, Jim Croce (though I don't know any of his tunes), The Tragically Hip, and really just whatever makes me enjoy a particular moment in life. A memory of a certain song is created in an instant, and holds different weight in each individuals life for different reasons. I hope to someday instill that in audiences in the area. I'm not looking to really form anything terribly permanent unless it goes really well. (sound familiar again?) Drugs are drugs, just don't let it affect your performance, more importantly don't let chasing pussy get in the way of playing a show, moving gear, and your song selection.
I'm looking to show someone what I know, and learn from them as well. Come up with some original music if we mesh, and just play out! Acoustic gigs is not a cash cow by any means, but it depends on who you ask and where you go I guess. I am established in my little community of Lockport, and can get gigs here and there, but I'd really just like to meet a new musician with like-minded ideas and to be a mutual sounding board for those ideas. Feel free to email me, and I can get into credentials and things I've done and such. It's not a ton, but it has been an interesting ride thus far. I'm Josh by the way... So, you come here often? What kind of drink is that? Oh yea, I like those too... That's a nice shirt... Et Cetera, et cetera, et cetera...

Yes we will try to pay you, but we all need to perform to get it!
[What music we're into]:
Many bands, even the ones we don't want to sound like & more, but we wont list influences at all. Meaning, we like alot of the music that we wont play in THIS PROJECT. We too much love music that doesn't even match.
[DEALS]:
If you can help us, we can help you too. Meaning, if you join our band and really put effort within it, but this might not be your type of music, we can return the favor and join your band for temporary help till we find PERMANENT MEMBERS.
[TO THE VISIONLESS]
(sorry about the insult calling anyone visionless!)
When we said "BIG DRUMS" we meant picture a battering ram juggernaut doppler sounding crude machinery of ancient powerful thudding tone, but it's a modern drumset we built. Then the guitars are walls of buzz, fuzz, fizz, sizzling squeeks, and ripping tearing FIRES, along with some enchanting actual bells & chimes played one of our members. The vocals are very "throaty" but alot of bass baritone. We don't want overly repetitious riffs or common cliches of the contemporary.
[MISC]:
And NO we don't want to go on stage wearing any "Ghostbusters uniforms" just because we like Ghostbusters themes or writings, NO WAY! And this doesn't mean we're gonna write about direct topics straight out of the films, come on!
+
- and we're always looking for backup help, and more friends to share with***
[REQUIREMENT LEVEL]:
If we had to rate our skill-level requirements from a scale of 1-10, we'd require 5-6 for guitar & bass players!
[Insults]:
"It's better to burnout than to fade away" (the old saying) but once you've mastered doing both.... wow that's bad! It's time to change and be original, take a risk and stop going with the flow for other genres already established. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. But what if it's not enough? What if your life passes you by and you didn't get to see more than your own hometown? Think it over! (we're just a phone call away) Please leave a phone number, don't be afraid, we're cool with you!
[SOUND EXAMPLES]
Sorry we have nothing up online yet, please be patient, we're recording right NOW this month!
Flute and Trumpet players needed for young band (Amherst/North Buffalo)
Just throwing it out there: as the posting says, I need to find some young musicians who would be interested in collaborating in a band that would be heavily influenced by funk, blues, soul, folk, and jazz styles. I love the sound of the flute and trumpet in funk music! But, I also think they're diverse enough to fit in some other types of music I have in mind. If you are young, maybe a little inexperienced, but really into music, please hit me back. (I wouldn't mind at all if you played TROMBONE or any kind of SAX either!)
Looking for female country singer
I am looking for a female country singer to help form a sugarland type band I already have a male singer and drummer. Right now we are just looking to see whats out there. I own a small record label called Nostroland Records (Evil Monkey Lair llc) and me and my co-founder / male singer friend are just looking to do this for fun right now but if all goes good we have no worries about playing gigs. So if your interested drop us a line @ evil.monkey.lair@gmail.com
Bassist looking to join or form original HEAVY band
I play bass. I'm looking for an original, HEAVY band, or some people who want to start one. I've been playing a long time, have good equipment, transportation, all that good stuff....I am influenced by so much and want to wrap it all into one tight, disgusting, sometimes beautiful package: Pantera, Lamb of God, Sabbath, Metallica, Opeth, Zeppelin, Exodus, Dream Theater, Styx, Into Eternity, Priest, Maiden, Mastodon, Wolfmother, Tool, Meshuggah etc. etc. etc.
I don't want to limit the songwriting into one genre. Obviously I want this to be an extremely heavy band, with a huge groove, but....maybe a few vocalists trade off and on....Maybe we write something stunningly gorgeous and acoustic...only to cave yer chest in with a crushing riff and some double bass.....or some 3 part harmonies in the middle of all the brutality. I guess I'm just trying to say let's write some cool heavy sh!t and see what happens. Thanks.
GUITARIST needed (for our FULL BAND) (Erie Canal, N Buffalo, W Buffalo)
Can you play full MAJOR & MINOR barchords?
Can you play them so fluently, that you could even slide with them?
Can you slide with a full SIX STRINGS without loosening any string or fret strength on an A-POSITION major chord?
Or are you willing to learn how to accomplish these simple and under-rated techniques?
Did you know that there are tons of fancy solo playin' virtuosos who CAN'T do this?
Can you also switch A-POSTION chords to E-POSITION chords without any problem?
- (Johnny Ramone is a perfect guitar player for all these techniques!)
It's pretty sad how such simple techniques are overlooked and under appreciated. We're NOT virtuoso based music, we're simplistic by comparison.
WHO ARE WE?:
We're nice guys who wont stab your back, wont get into any drama entanglements, NOT a bunch of junkies or dangerous people who cause any STRESS/PRESSURE issue.
We've got a full recording studio(secured), quite enough professional analog recording equipment, a REHEARSAL SPACE, transportation, and easy going!
We've got our own subgenre of rock music, email for details. Please no inquiries or 'nosiness' just lurking around for competition, WARNING, we're practical jokers with a professional sense of intelligence, meaning: we'll GET YOU if you set us up!
We've got our own sound and we're NOT trying to be like anyone else. We're not even "experimental," we're a set project, and we wont stop till we're discovered. We have a few connections in the industry, but those are USELESS if we don't prove some sense of independence locally FIRST! And no we have no recordings up online yet, sorry! But we're recording as we speak, very seasonal music!
We're mature guys in our 20s, and one girl who plays the CARILLON, we're very intricate like that!
YOU don't need to bring anything at all, we probably have a better amplifier and custom made pedals that no company can beat! But let us know what you have anyway, we just hope you don't worship your instrument in general. We need a TEAM!
Please provide a phone number.

Bassist available (Buffalo)
I've been playing for about 4 years and I'm looking for a "jam" band to play with. I'd prefer something of the ska/indie genre, definitely not looking to play metal. My influences are The Police, Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Streetlight Manifesto, Dinosaur Jr, The Clash, Bright Eyes, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, and John Frusciante. I'd prefer a younger group of people (18-20s). I don't have any problem travelling, I may even have a place to play. I don't care if your an established band or if you wanna start something from scratch. My schedule is pretty flexible to practices and shows. I have live experience as a singer and bassist. I'm more than willing to contribute to music writing, I own a home recording system so recording wouldn't be a problem.
Funk/Rock/Jam Band looking for keys! (Buffalo)
We are a four peice ( two guitars, bass and drums) looking for an experienced keyboardist to fill in the sound of the funkalicious groove we drop on a dime. We like to focus on our original material but have an extensive catalog of covers which is constantly growing. We all range between the age of 21-25 if that matters... Vox are a plus but not a neccesity. We often times rely heavily on improvisation and enjoy letting the music take total control. We have several gigs coming up within the next few months in the Buffalo/Elmwood area and would love for someone to accompany us by tickling the old ivorys. Serious inquires only, just be prepared to "get errr done" and have some fun.

do bass players exist in buffalo? (buffalo)
hey, do you play bass?! that's mighty convenient 'cause we need a bass player!
what we're looking for: a focused, committed individual with availability in the evenings (flexibility a must!); someone posessing a wide range of musical styles is preferred but a unique sound will land you the spot; a SERIOUS individual with their own equipment
what you need to know: we're a rock 'n roll 3-piece that needs a fourth member: 2 guitars/vocals and a drummer. we play a style of music that hasn't yet been defined but most closely resembles indie rock with a folk-y background. we are a drinker/smoker friendly group of guys and think that a like-minded individual would be the perfect fit.

Bassist looking for powerpop or death metal (Buffalo)
My name's Collin, I'm eighteen and have been playing for almost 4 years. I own a 200w cabinet with a 200w head, it's not much but it gets the job done. I'd like the practice space to be somewhere near Lancaster/Cheektowaga, but driving farther is always acceptable as long as the band is serious. My influences are Iron Maiden, Asking Alexandria, and After the Burial. I can be contacted via AIM in which case my screenname is ourmatrimony. Or by email ourmatrimony@aim.com
Also, I smoke cigarettes and a bit of the other stuff so straightedge is a no. And no christian bands please

Thanks for taking the time to read this! and/or reply to this post...it's much appreciated.

Hip Hop/Rap Live Venue??? (WNY/Buffalo)
I was wondering what venues in Buffalo have either played Hip hop/Rap acts in the past, or are open to the idea. The ArtVoice seems to be rather dead in terms of hiphop/rap acts.
I am a partner of an upcoming label, and I'm new to the area, and my experience has been mainly in rock promotion.
We have a few acts who can draw a crowd provided we have a place accepting of rap music.
For now, we'd like to avoid open mics (our acts have been pursuing them on their own).
If anyone can email me with some ideas it would really help.

Rhythm / lead guitarist looking to start band. (Southtowns)
Rhythm / lead guitarist looking to start band. I’m 40 years old and have been playing since my teens. Haven’t played in a band in about 15 years but would love to get back into it. I’m looking to start a mostly original band but am open to doing some covers. My influences include a wide variety of rock, hard rock, and metal. Black Sabbath, Neil Young, Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam and Papa Roach to name a few. I was hoping to start something hard rock, deep in melody and rhythm. I feel my best attribute would be to add my guitar melodies to an existing original song or work with someone to create that song. I was looking to jam once a week and see where that leads. I wouldn’t mind playing out eventually. Equipment is good and also have older PA system, speakers and a microphone although I don’t sing very much. Would like to stay in the southtowns and don’t have anywhere to rehearse. Contact me if you are interested…

Bassist looking for band to play with (Tonawanda)
Hey everyone, my name is Mike. I am 23 years old and just moved up a couple months ago from Jamestown. I've been looking around for something musically to get into up here (one of the reasons I came up).
A bit about me:
I've been playing bass for about 6-7 years. I've played live "gigs" in various settings probably once a week for the last 5. I have my own gear, along with guitar gear. I'm actually a gear-head...but finances usually hold me back from spending my whole life savings on instruments.
I have a car and a job. I don't drink or do drugs or anything like that. I don't mind drinking but its not for me. One thing I DO NOT want to deal with is druggie band members, band members with ego problems, band members that insist on getting drunk (I only like to deal with people who drink in moderation), or band members that don't thoroughly enjoy what they're doing. I would much prefer getting into something with people my own age...but that's not a big deal. Genre-wise, I listen to just about everything...minus most metal, rap, pop, country. I have played and will continue to play anything that interests me. Right now though I'm looking for something along the lines of Indie, Rock, or Folk-Rock type stuff. Something creative, possibly unique...and fun. The irony for me is I find seriousness about playing in the fun of playing. If it makes me smile being at practice and shows, then I'm into it. I think that sums up what I wanna do.
Nonetheless...if you're looking for a bassist that has the ways and means to get the job done, will do it efficiently and consistently, and wants to have fun let me know. If you have and established band or music for me to hear email me that. Thanks, hope to hear some cool stuff.
guitarist looking for band (Amherst/Williamsville/Buffalo)
My name is Nick White. I have been playing guitar for about 5 years and I consider myself to be pretty decent. I am looking for any group of induviduals at least a drummer and a bassist who are serious about starting a fast paced experimental rock band.
I use to be in Attack Attack! ( one of the biggest ,touring indie label bands today )
I was a founding member, i was the bassist.
I just moved to Amherst/Williamsville area this summer and i am looking to play some music.
My influences are anything from The Fall of Troy to Dead To Fall to The Early November.
Female singer looking for folk band (Buffalo)
female singer, 19, looking to sing for folk band/bluegrass band. Would be willing to sing others lyrics, also willing to sing covers. Some of my singing influences are Old Crow Medicine Show and Ray Lamontagne. E mail if interested.
Working on a project to promote local music... (Buffalo)
Hi. I'm looking to start a local music blog about WNY/upstate music and artists (a bigger post outlining this project can be found here), and obviously one aspect of that would be working with and featuring local musicians.
Just to gauge the interest in this project, I'd like to offer an open invitation to local musicians or groups who wish to be featured on the site. This would be either in the form of an actual feature story on you or your band, a record review, a live show review or anything else (I'm open to ideas from the musicians as well).
But here's what I think will make this project unique, and, therefore, successful...
My main interest in music is with recording and production, so I'd like to do a series of exclusive recordings for the blog featuring artists and groups from the area. The artist or in a group would get a FREE RECORDING of one of his/her songs (I'd like to do something semi-live and raw, possibly stripped-down... I envision being sort of a Daytrotter for WNY artists), as well as free promotion, and we would in turn get fresh, exclusive content. The 'grabbing' aspect would be that these recordings will take place at a location the band chooses--basements, concert venues, in a park somewhere... the band can get creative and choose a place with significance to them or just some place that sounds interesting, and I'll record a performance and include it on the blog. In Rochester I ran a mobile recording service and got really great sounding results recording in some very bizarre places, and it presents a unique challenge as well as a unique final product.
Does this sound like something you might be interested in? If so, just send me a message or a sample of your music at the email above. Right now this is a very 'ground floor' idea, and its execution will be based on the popularity of the idea in the local music community, so I'm accepting pretty much anything from anyone who wants to contribute or be featured as a musician. What have you got? Let me know.
Cheers,
Blake
