starting a band


Question Posted Wednesday August 19 2009, 7:38 pm

I sing, and write my own songs, and they're kind of similar to evanscence songs, but anyways a lot of people say I'm really good at singing, and I can sing low and high (really good) and I'm interested in starting a band. I just dont know a lot of people that play guitar or anything like that, and I want to know how I can start a band. Any help? I would be very appreciative thanks! :D

I suggest you start making friends or letting the right people see your talent. Maybe advertise yourselfas an available singer with a band wanted and specify the style, search online for bands looking for vocalists. Just put yourself out there. For me my first bands came through just having a few friends but then later on I started getting offers from people I had heard about by word of mouth or on TV just cos they had a few mutual friends and had seen me play a few times and stuff. I've been playing guitar for 6 years and in the past 3 years have played quite a few gigs, it all starts with making friends and putting yourself out there. Good luck =)

See what music teachers or music learning facilities are in your area. Most of the teachers would be glad to pass flyers to their students. The music learning facilities usually have bulletin boards that are dying for singers like you!
Ask around at school. Most of my friends play an instruments. Some I didn't even know about! Ask kids in the band if your school has a band. Sure they might play the trumpet but you'd be suprised that they play the guitar too. I play piano and guitar and most of my friends don't even know that. So ask around!

Hope I helped

Well, if your school allows, maybe you can start by making flyers and passing them out around school. Or if your school has bulletin boards, post them on there.

Ask your friends if they know anyone that would be interested in being in a band, and if they do, you can talk to them. There are tons of people that play instruments just lying around... you just got to find them.

Once you find your fellow bandmates you'll just need some equipment and practicing space and BINGO. You're in a band.
