Saturday night I went to Stubbs to see some local Austin bands-
Single Frame, This Microwave World
and Oliver Future.
Single Frame sounds like Fugazi meets Devo, but I think they
sound better in the studio than they do live based on this
show.
Oliver Future really impressed me. I'll probably go see them
again.
While I was wandering around between bands, I ran into
Booer from Zykos.
I asked him if he knew of anyone looking
for a bassist and he shrugged, "yeah, I might. people always
tell me they're looking for other people to play with but
I just forget it all." I said he should try to keep a spreadsheet
since he gets this kind of question all the time.
That's when it hit me. I haven't found a single date on Friendster,
but I did find a drummer there.
Someone should run with this.
Jamster? Bandster? You list what instrument(s) you play, what style of music
you want to make, the distance you're willing to travel to practice/play and so
on. It also keeps track of what bands everyone's been in so you get some
background too. With all this information, it can match you up with bandmates.
Yeah right like
we need another social network service. I hope one of the bunch I'm on
adds this as a feature. I would use it.
