Middle aged hipster looking to start a band and play shows

14 Upvotes

Quick about me: I’m new to the area, grew up in Seattle during grunge. My favorite albums are Surfer Rosa, Bleach, Keep it like a secret, Lonesome crowded west, Disintegration, Fugazi 13 songs, you get the idea. I really like post punk and the new psychedelic rock coming out. I can play drums, guitar, bass or keyboards. I’m not a savant at any instrument but more of a jack of all trades. Can’t sing. I also have a home studio. I’m also very liberal politically. I live in Covington not far from Olla.

Band rehearsal spaces?

4 Upvotes

Anyone aware of any rehearsal spots or musician-friendly storage facilities around the city? Even better if there's anything on the west side. I've been looking for one for years now but seems like no one has filled the void About Space left behind. I'm looking for something I can rent monthly and leave my gear at, not an hourly in-and-out deal.

NKY/Cincinnati Pop-Punk Band — Looking for Members

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm in my mid-20s who's also a bassist/aspiring lead vocalist in NKY looking to put together a pop-punk/punk rock band.

I'm currently looking for:
 Drummer
 Lead guitarist
 Rhythm guitarist

Bonus if you can sing harmonies/backing vocals!

Influences include Meet Me @ The Altar, Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, and The Paradox. The goal is to play local shows, write/record original music, and have some fun with Pop Goes Punk-style covers.

I have a couple song/lyric ideas started, but I really want songwriting to be collaborative. I'd like everyone to bring their own riffs, lyrics, ideas, and personality to the music rather than having one person dictate everything.

Beginners/intermediates are welcome! I'm more interested in finding reliable, open-minded people who want to actually build something together. I'm dreaming big with this eventually, but I know that takes time — for now, I'm focused on building a solid local band and seeing where we can take it.

Rehearsals would be around NKY/Cincinnati, roughly every other week to start, with weekends being easiest.

LGBTQ+ friendly/affirming is important to me.

If you're interested, don't hesitate to reach out!
