I am looking for someone who can play guitar and is looiking for a band to play in. If you're the person you've found the band! If you live in the general Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor area we'd love to hear from you. Our name is Elixir. You can contact me, the bass player (lana) at erszabetvampyre@yahoo.com and we'll set up a time that we can hear you play. The type of music we're playing is hard core' rock and a mix of other stuph. Hope to hear from somebody soon. -Lana16 responses total.

Let's see if this one will accept it....:) What kind of music do you guys play?
Perhaps you should define what kind of guitarist you are looking for. I'm assuming that you want a basic rhythm guitarist, but if your mix includes glam rock or 80's metal, you might want to consider a lead guitarist, too. Too bad I've never really played an electric and that I'm not in the area. I'm primarily a classical guitarist, but I'd switch my skills to playing lead electric if I had the chance.
we're gonna play ''hard'' music.. the lead singer doesn't really SING it's more screqaming type stuph.. it's REALLY hard to define. You don't have to play really good in fact you can just be learning as long as we can make stuph up that SOUNDS good do either of you live close to Ann Arbor or Ypsi. (living in one of the two would be great
HI , some one just mentioned Floyd. I'm a great floyd fanany takers for talk on floyd.
Pardon?
"fanany" = "fan. Any"
Yep. I stared at that sentence for 5 minutes, entered my one-word response, then the lightbulb went on the instant I hit the "post" button. A "great floyd fanany" is a fascinating idea, however.
I think that their are whole items devoted to Pink Floyd (I assume that's who you're refering to) in this conf, if you want to talk about it, darbha. Also check out the prog. rock item, I believe that their was a lively discussion of them.
Er, guys, "this conference" is both agora and music. A <linked item> is seen and written to from any conference it is linked into. Sounds like darbha needs to "join music" at an OK prompt if he/she wants to check out the Pink Floyd items or the prog. rock item.
resp:4 I was just making a passing comment, since I fancy myself a musician. I live in Washington State, so no, I'm nowhere near A2 or Ypsi. I'm assuming that your sound is more of a punk or butt rock style. I take it you're just going to take who you can get?
For some reason Lana's description of her band plans reminds me of The Raincoats. The Raincoats were an all/mostly women punk band from the end of the 70's. As best as I could tell, they had just picked up their instruments about six months before they made their first record, but they went on from that shaky beginning to produce some pretty fine work. Kurt Cobain was a fan, and he used his clout at Geffen Records to get the band's work back into print. It seems like everything in the music conference is linked from Agora these days. :)
Which story reminds me of "The Shaggs" - a sister band who learned to play their instruments in a correspondence course. They demonstrated that if you play with infectious enthusiasm and no self-consciousness people will like you even if you are truely hideously awful. They never got any better, but they did quit while they were ahead.
I'm the only girl in the band. :) just thought I would clear that up :)
Oh and if you want a clear definition of the sound we're going for if you've heard Coal Chamber then you know. That's what we're going to try to go for and or Rob Zombie type
basically, butt rockabilly
You have several choices:
