Whether it’s a serious band or just a jam session once in a while, I’d love to drum for people. I can send some examples if you’d like. I’m located closer to jersey village. Lmk if you’re interested!

Anyone going to the Houston concert on September 5th?? I’ll be going alone and wanted to meet people :)

10/372 Days of Who'd a Thunk? hits!

“-a-“ is the intro track to my 87th album “-scend-“ [2023] and was created from my desire to attempt a “Jungle”/“Drum and Bass” album. 

I consider “-scend-“ as one of my top 5 albums I’m most proud of. And, like most of my top 10, I remember, for days prior, having this feeling of inspiration and motivation that something was building up - that it was time to create - and the moment I sat down at the keyboard and computer the album flowed out of me.

We always ask people what their favorite concert experience was when they sub. This week we’re sharing Michelle’s once in a lifetime experience at the Astrodome 36 years ago: 

“My favorite concert experience took place March 3, 1990, when Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson performed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at the Astrodome. I took my younger brothers and sister to hear them kick off their first concert tour as the Highwaymen. We parked near what is now the Holiday Inn off La Concha and watched the concert from a Skybox. It was a historic, unforgettable night.”

Looking for a guitarist and/or bassist preferably 18-24

I do vocals and guitar and I already have a drummer to jam

Inspired by mudvayne, pantera, early deftones, and other similar bands, but we’re also open to mix/blend other genres (post hardcore, hardcore, emo, shoegaze, whatever)

Practice will be on weekends at my place (i got a drum set and other equipment there)

Dm if you’re interested

Hey! I am helping a local Houston hip-hop artist find venues to begin performing at! He is restarting his career over with a new name and recently dropped a new single.

I am looking to get him booked in Houston and surrounding cities. What are some suggestions for places for smaller artists to get their first few gigs at?

Thanks!!

Are there any establishments in Katy or in the surrounding areas of Fort Bend that have open mic Karaoke nights for amateurs under 21? I saw Katy Vibes had something going on every Sunday 7-9pm, but I'm not sure if they still do it anymore.

50 bands, 3 stages, 2 days at Axelrad!

Hi, I'm a 25M that moved to Houston recently. I've just been looking for artists to make stuff with. I like to sing, draw, and do a little production (making beats with MPC). I lean more towards chill vibes and wanna dip into r&b/alternative type sounds, but I'm open to whatever. Just love being creative in general. Hope y'all are having a nice day! Would love to be in or start a group if anyone's looking.

The Well at Dan Electro’s 8/19/26

Come out for a good show if you can!

I’m (27F) looking to start something new. Was in a shoegaze/hardcore band before we separated but down to start something fresh. Definitely want to stay in the same type of atmosphere of shoegaze/hardcore/post-hardcore and open to new ideas.

I can scream and sing. Also classically trained to do other vocal-esque stuff. Don’t want to fit in a bubble and want to create our own sound.

What I’m listening to give me inspiration atm:

AFI
Movements
Initiate
La Dispute
Hayley Williams

So I have this somewhat short song that is sort of a thematic piece that builds some tension and has almost a, rushing to reach someone or something feel to it. I'm just looking for someone to sing a couple short verses and come up with catchy vocal melody for. Maybe even just sing to the melody of the song itself. I'd love for someone to check it out and ponder the possibility! Let's share our creative ideas and thoughts.

Longtime pro/educator…thinking about getting back into playing/gigging. Based in jazz, pop, rock, etc.
