<![CDATA[Our drummer left us last month, after a hearing problem forced him to take an extended break from rock music. Since then, I've switched from bass to drums and recruited a friend to fill in on bass, just so we can keep playing until a permanent drummer is found. <br> <br> I'd like to get back to my instrument of choice (bass), where I'm most comfortable. <br> <br> We are an original band. Our music recalls the glory years of indie/college/alternative rock with a harder edge, late 80's to mid 90's. <br> Our influences are bands like Nirvana, Mudhoney, The Pixies, Black Flag, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, The Melvins, Helmet, REM, Husker Du, Flipper, The Meat Puppets, Mission of Burma, early Flaming Lips, The Replacements. <br> <br> Age does not matter, singer/guitarist is 29, I'm 45,and our current fill in bassist is in his fifties. But we'd like somebody who's at least got some band experience, can play, and of course old enough to get in a bar legally. <br> <br> We practice Sunday afternoons/evenings off Harford Road in Northeast Baltimore City. We have a 5 piece drum kit (mine)set up so you don't need to bring yours. <br> We have full PA, recording gear (free studio time!), and a it's free rehearsal space, no gear you need to bring (except your own kit for shows!) <br> <br> Check out our demo at www.myspace.com/bj4everyone <br> <br> John 410-504-4947 <br> or e-mail whistlingtk@hotmail.com]]>

<![CDATA[Recording Tip #2: Know thy 'nome! <br> <br> Not the one in your garden, your metronome! Practice with it. No one has perfect timing, and it's <br> easy to fall into the "don't worry, in the studio we'll have a click track" belief. Yes, you will have a <br> click track, but if you're not used to working with it, it can be more difficult to maintain correct timing, <br> keeping you from focusing on other aspects of the sound you have worked so hard to perfect. Know <br> your time signature and beats per minute, if applicable. (Yes, they can be determined and/or corrected <br> in the studio, but that will use valuable studio time.) Edits, dubs and additional tracks will go <br> more smoothly, and any midi work practically requires it. So practice for your recording session as <br> if you ARE recording, with thy 'nome! <br> <br> The Sound Cellar will be posting recording tips like the one above regularly as a service to those <br> who visit CL. And in part as a counterpoint to those studios, their friends, and individuals who <br> continue to try to create some sort of 'drama' with negative postings here. We are disappointed <br> in this lack of professionalism and sorry that you have had to endure it, (when a studio offers <br> the world's finest processors, recording engines, monitors etc. at $20/hr you can make a lot of <br> enemies.) To that end, I have decided to post our policies. If you choose not to record here, <br> we will recommend you to some other studio that has shown itself to be honest, professional, <br> and of good quality. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the very talented <br> musicians and writers who have and are, recording here. <br> <br> The $20/HR. Recording Guy <br> <br> The Sound Cellar CL Policies <br> <br> 1. We will not respond to or recognize any negative posting regarding any musician, studio, <br> performance etc. posted by anyone. We will not get "down in the mud" with those individuals <br> and/or studios. We will maintain our professionalism. <br> 2. We will not originate such postings. <br> 3.Our theme remains to "Enlighten" by promoting local talent at the lowest possible cost to them <br> while providing the highest possible quality for them. <br> 4.We will not record anything vulgar, libelous or anti-religious. <br> 5. No booze, drugs, gangstas, crazies please. <br> <br> $20/HR. includes engineer. STILL the best recording deal in Baltimore, bar none. (410) 456-9598 <br>]]>

<![CDATA[Im am a Guitarist/Vocalist in need of a second guitarist who is ready to get the ball rolling! My band, The Silver Annex is gearing up to try and re-attack the scene this summer. I need someone who can play rythms AND leads, not someone who is set on playing one way. Soloing ability is a plus, but not really a necessity. I basically need someone who knows how to accent a song in a musical and dynamic way. <br> <br> We (the few who are left) at The Silver Annex want to let anyone and everyone interested know that we are now having open tryouts for the position of Guitar II. <br> <br> <br> this is what we are looking for: <br> <br> -Easy to work with in and outside practice <br> <br> -Positive attitude to working with a new band <br> <br> -Interest in playing complex, fleshy and interesting music. This refers to rythms, chords, or any other aspect of our music. The sky's the limit. <br> <br> -Devotion to sticking with one serious band and prepared to help us pay for the practice space which we (hopefully) will get soon. <br> <br> Ideally, someone in the 17 to 23-ish age range would be desirable, but thats not as important <br> <br> If interested and/or you want to know more PLEASE give Carl a call at 410-207-6654 <br> <br> Thanks! <br> <br> Carl, The Silver Annex]]>

<![CDATA[I devised this method of playing modes in 1986, and have been using it successfully ever since. My Method provides you with the modes below in all keys by just using one fingering position using all strings across the neck. Just count frets and you’re there! This is not a trick--play modes with no theory knowledge, no memorizing note names, no reading music or TAB. Play in all keys the following modes: <br> <br> LYDIAN <br> IONIAN <br> PHRYGIAN <br> DORIAN <br> AEOLIAN <br> MIXOLYDIAN & <br> LOCRIAN <br> <br> Always hit the right notes, no more clunkers. Works for bass as well. Only ten bucks, shipped. Write for part of the method. This is a short-cut that bypasses around music theory that can save you years of study. Leave those plateaus behind you and open up your playing instantly! Don’t ignore this valuable offer. Write back!! Not a scam. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> “Thanks Dan. It seems to be a neat system. I am working into it in my practice now.” <br> --Jeff <br> <br> <br> Thanks, got this yesterday. It is definitely…beautiful in its simplicity.

No DJ could possibly add the energy of a live performer, and no band can allow the range of volume necessary to accommodate a small or huge function. My backing tracks are sequenced and my vocals are always live. My technique is used by such acts as: Peter Gabriel, The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, and many others but NOT by Milli Vanilli! LOL. Call or write for an estimate on your event. <br> Ron <br> 410.627.7485 cell]]>

<![CDATA[We've all seen it, bands no better than yours making 3x the amount of money, how do they do it? <br><br> They are certainly not going to tell YOU their secrets. <br><br> They keep it to themselves and the little group of guys they hang with. They are often not any better players than local bar band musicians, they just run in circle of players who make more money. <br><br> For a long time playing bars it has been a baseline of $100 per person per gig. If you break that out conservatively, one gig per week: <br><br> Gig 4 hours <br> Set-up/ Tear down 1 1/2 hours <br> travel to and from gig 1 hour <br> Rehearsal including travel 3 1/2 hours <br> Personal practice at home 3 hours <br><br> Total 12 hours, take off $10 for gas, plus you're playing a dive and choking on smoke. <br><br> You have $90 divided by 12 hours = $7.50 Sounds more like a Mc Donalds gig than an artists's gig. And if you adjust for inflation, that $7.50 is worth more like $4 an hour<br><br> So how do you jump into the big money? It's not all that hard. The pros know all the angles, and use them to make big money. Just as a local band musician, AVERAGED over $250 my share. Plus, I played great venues and NO bars. I can show you how it's done. <br><br> Curious, go to <a href="http://www.coverbandbook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.coverbandbook.com</a> and read more !!! <br><br> You can do it too !!!!! <br><br> <c><img src="http://www.californiasailplanes.com/bigad2.jpg"></c> ]]>

If I was to report the money we make, i'd be creating a business for the band, and then all the money put in would go to that, which then I would be writing off all band expenses - studio rent, gas, tshirt/cd/sticker costs, equipment costs, strings, batteries, tubes, electricity, wear and tear on a vehicle, vehicle repair.... what's the point? all that jive costs alot more than anything I ever make from shows, I'm just happy when i can pay band rent from it (which isn't always the case). <br> <br> considering that, I see no point in reporting it, just for them to tell me that I can have it all back.

<![CDATA[25 year old violinist of 20 years looking to start a new sound band. Im looking for ethnic drums African to indian to celtic. Imagine a typical rock kit but tribal. A guitarist that can rock like from Desturbed or Godsmack or Rage against the machine. And a lead vocalist that wails preferably female like from Lacuna Coil or Flyleaf. The violin would be distorted of course and would act as filler as time but also as lead guitar. The goal is to create a worldly sound that rocks and is unconventional. Any of the members can be song writers as well. If interested just shoot me an email. I live in baltimore county.]]>

<![CDATA[Hi... <br> <br> Looking for either a bassist or drummer and a guitarist that's primarily like me. That would mean... <br> <br> Long hair, enjoys listening to Humble Pie and Zep on vinyl. Has good gear; not an Ibanez and Crate stack. I mean someone who prefers a nice vintage Champ amp or an AC30. A couple nice guitars would be cool, or if you drum how about a nice Ludwig kit. Or, you could use my Ludwig set. Doesn't matter. <br> <br> 16-25 would be ideal. I have the van, know all the people, etc. Not messing around here, serious group with no time to waste. <br> <br> If interested I'll need a pic, gear list, top three bands, and what your dream mansion would consist of. Mine would feature a large pool with a sex house and outdoor kitchen. Courtyard studio would be nice. <br> <br> Peace.]]>

<![CDATA[Are you a guitar player or bass player? Now you don’t have to listen to other players talk about modes while you’re in the dark! I’ve found a way to go completely around music theory and give you access to DORIAN, PHRYGIAN, LOCRIAN, MIXOLYDIAN modes. IONIAN, LYDIAN and AEOLIAN are yours in moments. Yes it sounds like a fantasy, but I can prove it to you at no risk to you. All you have to learn is one pattern that you move around the neck of the guitar or bass. My formula tells you how far to move it-and you have all seven modes listed in every key instantly. This is a way to pass up learning music theory if you just want to learn modes. I’ve been using this system for over twenty years….it works every time. Just ten dollars and I pay the shipping to you. Write and I’ll send you more information. Remember, no risk! This is not a scam. <br> <br> <br> <br> Sent from Joe: <br> Your service is quick and very well typed and illustrated….thank you, Joe <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[As a former member of a Starleigh band, there are a few things you must know about Starleigh. First of all, signing with them is NOT like signing with a record company/label. They are only "signing" you so that they exclusively do your booking and take a 15% cut of your earnings. They are not going to put you at Ram's Head, Recher, Angels, etc etc etc. Why?!?! Because they venues you have to sell a gazillion tickets and there is no guarantee Starleigh will make any money. They are a company out to make money, period. They DO NOT care about your band making it big at ALL. Actually that would only cause them to lose money if you signed with a label, etc. However, if you do sign with Starleigh, they WILL keep you as busy as you want really...and you WILL make great money in the process. They WILL book you at places like Bamboo Bernies, Looneys, Red Eyes Dock Bar, etc etc. There is a BUILT IN crowd on the weekends at these places/venues...so your band and Starleigh will make money. Starleigh has a HUGE list of venues they deal with and they make contracts with these places before you ever set foot in them so that your band and Starleigh makes money. Starleigh wants cover bands and good cover bands. So there are ups and downs with Starleigh. The UPs are that you can play ALOT, make great money. The Downs are that you cant book anything yourself without Starleigh taking a cut...for like 2-3 years. They take 15%...which isnt bad at all when you are making like $1000 on a Sat night. The problem for bands not with Starleigh is that they have monopolized the region. Starleigh tells clubs that if they deal with non-Starleigh bands...then they will pull their big money bands, etc.etc. It's all about contracts and money kids. <br> <br> So let's summarize <br> STARLEIGH WANTS YOUR MONEY...ok fine, they are a business ya know. <br> DOES NOT CARE IF YOU ARE A BAND TRYING TO MAKE IT BIG <br> IS NOT A RECORD LABEL/ORIGINAL BAND PROMOTER WHATSOEVER...although they will dispute this. <br> <br> My advice for a young up and coming band (if you are GOOD)...is to get with Starleigh for about 2-3 years just for exposure...play 90% covers and promote your originals/mix them in at a show. Then when you get a fanbase going, tell them about a show you may book at the Recher, Fletchers, Rams Head, etc. This way you are building interest and a fanbase, you are making money, and you are playing out ALOT. Only a few local bands have been successful doing this, but it's a start. <br> <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[ <br> I want to work for you to create a more potent and widely known image of your act among listeners and fans! I will work night and day to make the promotion media, calls, and connections that you are too busy for, to build a stronger fan base, and to get your band interviews and attention from people who matter. I am an undergraduate who plans to work in music publishing, recording, and promotion, and am myself a recorded and performing musician. I have a GPA of 3.97 at UNC and a track record of great achievement--believe me when I say I will work HARD for you! I would absolutely love to talk. Email me for a resume, to meet, or for further information. Have a great day! <br> Liz <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[I want to know just how many bands in Maryland have tried with no avail to sign with Starleigh Entertainment. For those who dont know....most of the bigger rooms in Maryland deal with Starleigh and the owners and/or managers of those clubs dont even want to talk you if your self promoting your band or you get the big run around only to find out they're dealing w/ Starleigh. It's time to do something about it ! So C'mon local unsigned bands what are we gonna do?]]>
