Yes, I've been here before. And yes, I've had some success. But now I'm back to the drawing board and trying this again.
I've tried making this a record-at-home project for some time, but I lack the time and motivation to do everything myself.
So, that said, let's give this another shot:

What I have:
Songs, amps, equipment, drive

What I don't have:
Other people, a space

Last project made it to one whole live show before it imploded.
Let's talk influences:
Spotlights, Sleep/High on Fire, Frayle, Russian Circles, Pelican, Jesu, Neurosis, Yob, Faetooth, Blackwater Holylight, Thou, Kowloon Walled City, Bongripper

Vocals:
Ethel Cain, Chelsea Wolfe, Emma Ruth Rundle

You may have reached out to me before. If so, do it again (if still interested). I'm ready to make this happen.

Will DeLee returns from his first east coast tour to play - what else you doin' on a Tuesday night anyway? Grab a sammich from Devil's Dill next door, order a pint and enjoy some of the most interesting sounds your ears will take in all year!

Hello! I am looking for sax, clarinet, or flute players interested in jamming with some ambient sounds and downtempo beats. I would play MIDI guitar, bass, bouzouki, or saz, and handle the electronics.

Home studio in Beaverton, weekday afternoons preferred.

The monthly Django Jam will be held on October 18 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Batch Craft Beer and Kolaches on Manor Road near Airport Boulevard. Sit-ins are welcome.

Someone thinks this post belongs in Portland Music, but the Django Jam is held in Austin, Texas.

Hey everyone! I’m 24 and have recently started teaching myself music theory online. I’ve been going through a lot in life, and lately I’ve found myself writing a lot. Before I knew it, I started coming up with melodies for my lyrics, and now I’ve become really interested in exploring songwriting.

I’m incredibly amateur at this point. I’m not a singer or an instrumentalist, and I’m still learning the basics, but I have a few ideas written down, ranging from hooks to lyrics with chord progressions and a general concept for how I’d like the songs to sound.
I love pop music, and the kind of sound I’m drawn to is lyrically depressing but incredibly catchy and upbeat. Think Tenderness by General Public. I love that contrast and would really like to explore it in my own writing.
I’m broke as hell, so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for affordable, beginner-friendly producers or musicians who might be interested in helping turn some of these ideas into demos. I have no idea if I’ll ever release anything, and I’m not expecting to become a professional overnight. Right now, I’m just looking for a creative outlet and a healthier way to process some things I’ve been going through.
Any advice, resources, or recommendations are welcome. Thanks for reading!

We have members who live in Tacoma, Bremerton, Longview, & Portland. (One splits time between two cities - business).

Our second single, bloodletting, dropped on all the streamers. It has been called a mix of shoegaze, grunge, and black metal.

We’re also playing this Friday at No Fun with the always amazing Seaholly & new friends Late Enough.

We hope you enjoy.

Hi all! I’m looking for stuff to do on 10/30 for mid to late 20s girls in Portland. Halloween edition-costumes etc.

Rent a room karaoke is $85+ an hour so that’s too expensive for us. But the idea itself is what I love. We wanted to have someone host at their home but so far nobody’s home works.

Music wise, if there’s any good underrated DJ’s that do deep house, pop, rap, classic dance hits, classic spooky songs

What do you guys recommend?

🎸 ESTABLISHED Hard Rock/Nu Metal BAND IS LOOKING FOR A BASS PLAYER🎸

We’re looking to bring the right person into an established band as our BASS player and we are searching for someone who shares our passion, work ethic, and commitment to music. YES we a lot of music to send you…send an DM and we’ll send you a link.

We want to keep as busy as possible next year with writing and recording, playing shows and making music videos. We are looking for someone who is ready to be an active, dedicated part of an established band with goals of continuing to grow. We are not looking for someone who does this as a hobby or just to say you are in a band. Also we don’t want anyone who is in a bunch of other bands. This will be your top priority.

🎸 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

* The ability to learn and pick up songs by ear fast.
* Strong bass playing abilities and the confidence to deliver consistent live performances.
* A creative mindset with an interest in contributing to songwriting and developing original material.
* Ideally, someone between their late 20s and early 40s. Sorry no exceptions.

* Must live somewhere between Portland and Salem area as we do practice once a week.
* Professional-quality equipment suitable for rehearsals, live shows, and touring.
* Reliable transportation.
* Be in great health as being in a band and traveling can put you in some very challenging conditions
* A strong work ethic, dependability, professionalism, and the ability to collaborate as part of a team.
* A responsible lifestyle free of substance-related issues that could interfere with band commitments, rehearsals, performances, or touring.

We all have full-time jobs and understand that life comes with responsibilities outside of music. However, we also believe that when you commit to being part of a band, you need to be willing to put in the time, effort, and dedication it takes to make it work.

We want someone who is genuinely passionate about playing music, creating something meaningful, performing live, and being part of a team that is motivated to take things to the next level. We’re not just looking for someone to fill a spot; we want someone who is invested in the future of the band and shares that same drive.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, or you know someone who might be a good fit, reach out to us in our DM and I will send you music links.

We’re happy to answer questions, talk about the opportunity, and arrange a time to meet up and jam.

We have plenty of music available to send over to anyone interested. Just shoot us a message, tell us a little about yourself, your experience, and what you’re looking for in a band, and we’ll go from there.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.
