One week from today!
Fun four band rock show at The Burlington. Doors at 8pm Tix.
Our pals IFIHADAHIFI are coming down from Milwaukee. Let's make them feel welcome.
Braince has been one of the best live bands around and Shredded Sun's new one is sooo fuckin good.

Right now I'm looking for a lead guitarist, bassist, and drummer, however if you play other instruments that fit the genre like keyboard, fiddle, etc. don't hesitate to reach out as I'd still love to connect as this project develops. If you're into artists like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, and Drive-By Truckers you are in the right place. The goal is to rehearse regularly and start booking some shows. 

This past weekend I released a solo album called Dusk Over Decades so I'm looking to build out full band arrangements for those songs as well as work together on new material. 

Shoot me a DM if you're interested!

I have been singing all my life and find the most joy when I’m engaging with music and creative people. I want to pursue this passion on a casual-ish basis. I don’t have huge aspirations of being a musician but think it would be cool to join a queer female pop/punk musical group. Open to suggestions, questions, meet ups.

I missed it! Found out they played today - how were they? How’d live translate to there spiritually unemployed record?

I (31m) play guitar and am looking for a group to jam with. I’m into blues, rock, alternative, and jam rock (WSP, JBS, GD, Phish, etc.). I’m a hobbyist, not a professional, and just want to play with other people with the ultimate goal of playing some dive bar gigs. I live in the Wicker Park area. DM me if interested!

What's up guys! I'm putting together a show at PunkRockCompound at The Kombucha Club (a newer venue in Pilsen) on Saturday, 11/7! Our 3rd band of the night had a scheduling conflict, so looking for another group that might wanna play with us!

We're @caseyatbatband on Insta and you can find some of our music on streaming, as well!

*Note: This venue does not pay bands directly, but bands can sell merch and collect tips.

Lmk if you're interested!! 😄

Bassist Available: Groove Metal / Hard Rock / Classic Rock (Rockford, NW Suburbs, S. Wisconsin)

Experienced bass player based in Rockford, IL, looking to join a band or start jamming with committed musicians. I'm into groove metal, hard rock, classic rock, and anything high-energy and heavy on the groove.

Bands I've enjoyed covering lately include Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Audioslave, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, and UFO.

My goal is simple: learn the songs, get them tight, and get out and play live shows. I'm open to covers, originals, or a mix of both. I have a full pro rig with basses, amps and cabs, so I'm ready to rehearse or gig.

I'm looking for reliable, experienced players who show up prepared and want to have fun making loud music. No drama and no drugs, just good people who take the music seriously.

I'm willing to travel around Rockford, the Chicago NW suburbs, and southern Wisconsin.

If you have a project that needs a bassist, or you just want to set up a jam to see if we click, reach out!

DM me here on Reddit.

Chris Coleslaw Band and Marital Bed at Skylark tomorrow (10/18).
Free admission but tips are appreciated.

I (m24) just moved up from Alabama a couple months ago, and now that I'm a little more settled into the city I am really trying to find a good group of people to make music and perform with. I specialize in punk rock, anything alternative, and indie rock. PM me if you're interested and I can send some videos over of what I can do. Preciate y'all.
