Starting a band. (Australians only)

[Explosm]

Alright so im trying to start a band, I come from a pretty small ass town, Where nobody is good enough or they just don't want to. I've asked everywhere and its just not going anywhere, So i have extended my search here.

I play guitar, I have for 4 years, I prefer rythm but i learn lead when i cover songs. And if i find 2 better guitarists then me, ill drop my guitar and pick up bass like i've always wanted to.

Looking for powerpop (forever the sickest kids) and metal (a day to remember, escape the fate, killswitch engage) genres

I have a female vocalist (MAYBE) lined up. But other then that im flying solo.

I'm 17, And if you seem intrested send me a private message.

You might have better luck with posting ads at your school, music shop, gumtree or Ultimate Guitar.

However I don't condone 17 year old guitarists with BC Riches

I only got a B.C rich because it was cheap for a first electric. Besides what do you mean you don't condone me

 

[Purple Shrimp]

Do you need a clarinetist?

 

[Alexnader]

No musical talent at all. However if you need a fan I'm your man. No metal.

 

[Daipire]

Welp, I've been playing ze drums for about 5 years or so. I'm 18 and have a car, so I theoretically can play anywhere (but moving a drum kit is a pain in my ass...)

And I live in south sydney, so you close?

And powerpop?

EDIT: Some more things, firstly: I'm not a big metal fan.
And secondly, is the singer hot?

HAHAHAHAHAH

oh man... i had a warlock when i was 17 too

it's not a terrible guitar; it's actually pretty cool having 24 frets... you just can't get great sound out of it

i'd suggest saving up a bit for a strat, saving up a bit more for an epiphone les paul, or saving up a lot and getting a gibson les paul... thats what i did, but i also play a lot more jazz than rock

source: playing guitar for 10 years

(I'd actually love to start a band, but I live in america and this doesn't sound like the best business proposition, no offence.)

You add these thingies [ and ] to the start and end of it.

Then remove everything except the 'youtube' and everything from the =.

So, it's [/youtube=UPxlenE-kic] without the '/'

Spoiler: Here it is, in all embeded glory.

The more you know

EDIT: And just a thought, a girl singing metal?

Is it possible? (and no, Paramore is not metal).

 

[smithy_2045]

Australia is a big place.

 

[khiliani]

Plenty of bands have chick singer, except they are generally more melodic/goth metal, none of the bands listed in op even really come close to metal, except maybe killswitch.

I give you Angela and the woman from Nightwish who to be honest, I find annoying but is still in a popular metal band.

As for being OT: Can't help you, I play saxophone and in QLD

 

[Explosm]

Behold, Chick singer. I used those bands as an example of their genre.

Where are you? Parkes, NSW

No i don't know liam abbey.

Powerpop example.



And im thinking that the girl singer i had lined up isnt that serious about it as she said. But yeah shes slightly attractive >_>

You should be playing a hollow-body for jazz, you know...
