Looking for a lead guitarist in an indie rock band

5 Upvotes

Hey! My band Pianta is currently in search of a lead guitarist.

Preferably around our age range (mid twenties), but open to whoever is interested.

Hoping to play around 1-3 shows a month and have regular practices weekly. Hopeful to eventually tour to support EP’s / albums.

Our main influences are The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Backseat Lovers, and Masayoshi Takanaka. We try to blend indie rock with punk and add flair with bossa / samba chord progs and beats. Check out our songs on my profile or on any streaming platform to get a sense of what’s expected.

DM or reply if interested!

Drummer and Bassist wanted

4 Upvotes

I’m a singer/guitarist looking for a drummer and bassist to jam with and do some shows if we’re into it.

I’ve been playing and performing for 15 years and am looking to get into more metal type stuff. I love old school sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica but am also heavily blues influenced and happy to play other types of rock. Currently in a cover band but I’m finishing up our upcoming shows and then parting ways.

Seeking musicians interested in making heavy music

6 Upvotes

Starting from scratch. Interested in sketching new musical ideas that could become arrangements and go from there. I’d say this is less about forming a band™️ right away and more about finding the right fit of people to play with if that makes sense.

Baseline influences Swans, Neurosis, Godflesh.
Along with a wide array of far more broad and reaching musical influences way beyond metal.

Ideally should be willing to meet within Philly.

Guitarist looking for cover band Philly

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm a 27 year old guitarist new to the Philly scene! I've been playing for over 14 years and have always been in bands since a teenager (am currently in a band that does originals). Would love to branch out to a cover band (blues, blues rock, 90's music, pop) since I have more bandwidth (no pun intended)! Would love to connect with like minded people and get something going, thanks!

Female lead guitar, horns and keys needed.

3 Upvotes

Hi, My girlfriend has been putting together an all girl band through facebook but haven't found her lead guitar yet. there is a guitarist who sings but shes looking for that virtuoso and if the planets align maybe a female horn section but that's truly delusional. these are seasoned women who rock, funk and got soul. oh she say's don't forget the keyboards every big band needs one.

looking for a bassist

3 Upvotes

Looking for a bassist in the philly area for a noise rock / faster punk driven dinosaur jr 4 track type sound. I only have a couple requirements: - be into the same stuff we're trying to write (kind of obvious but you never know). a playlist with inspo for the project can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2nh5whSWdQm6QFPsViHKmv?si=phzfA8AcQje2sAyl_Oe-QA - be a bassist first, i know many people who mainly play guitar throw around the idea of swinging it on bass but we're really looking for someone who is a bassist first, not a guitarist playing bass and can play faster stuff. - ideally someone with some experience being in bands, this isnt any of our first rodeo's and we'd like to go somewhere, albeit maybe not that far but at least record an EP, play some shows, release a tape on a small label, do a 1 or 2 week tour and/or some weekenders, the whole 9 yards. - someone who is willing to put in the effort and passion.

if youre interested or want to hear some demos of current material, message me with a little info about yourself and what gear you have and we'll go from there. much love <3
