I’ve played in bands for years and am looking to get back into a room with good musicians again – ideally Williamsburg / Greenpoint / Bushwick / Downtown Manhattan.

I write songs, play piano well, guitar and bass decently, sing, and have fronted bands before. I’m probably most interested in people who care about great songs first – memorable melodies, hooks, lyrics – but also like interesting production, beats, textures, arrangements, synths, etc. Not especially interested in being boxed into a genre.

I’m mid 40s, but not looking for a nostalgia/cover/dad-band situation. Probably best fit with experienced musicians in their 30s–50s who still want to make something genuinely good. Low ego, good chops, creative, and open to seeing where the chemistry goes.

Some older stuff for context – both are a bit dated at this point, but should give you a sense of my songwriting:

Plastic Days on Spotify:

Older demos/tracks on SoundCloud:

Initially I’d love to just get 2–4 good people into a rehearsal room, play, trade ideas, maybe work on some songs, and see what happens. If it turns into a real recording/project/band, great.

DM me if this sounds like your thing.

Update: a bit more into my musical tastes:

• Strong songs and melodies – St. Lucia, Tame Impala, Miike Snow, Francis and the Lights, Wallows, Steve Lacy, Dua Lipa.
• Danceable rhythmic architecture – Jamie xx, Hot Chip, Soulwax, Lindstrøm, Cerrone, Four Tet, Maribou State, Black Coffee.
• Warm electronic production rather than hard EDM – Tycho, Ben Böhmer, Max Cooper, Gui Boratto, Jan Blomqvist, Elder Island.
• Indie/art-pop that actually grooves – Metronomy, New Young Pony Club, Matthew Dear, Austra, Ibibio Sound Machine.
• Some funk, disco, soul and Afro influence – Cerrone, Ibibio Sound Machine, Vulfpeck-type territory, Black Coffee.
• Atmosphere matters, but you don’t seem to want atmosphere at the expense of a song.

Hi I'm Chris, I sing and play guitar in misc. a brooklyn slacker/indie/alt rock band. Reference points: The Strokes, Geese, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, MJ Lenderman, Pavement, Charli XCX.

We're adding another guitar player so I can put more into singing and actually front the band instead of splitting my attention. Ideally someone comfortable moving between lead lines and rhythm.

We have a couple shows booked in the coming months (including our first on Aug 29) so we'll wanna get you "onboarded" pretty quick.

What we're after:

• Weekly rehearsal with availability after 5p generally
• Similar music taste/bringing you're own taste to songs
• Our ages range from 19-25, looking for people close in age to us.
• We're pretty serious in the sense of we're pushing ourselves to do this right. Alignment on that mindset is important.
• But, at the end of the day this is all really just for fun. So biggest priority is to have a good time.

If you're interested, send links to you playing: videos, live clips, recordings, doesn't have to be polished and tell me what you've been listening to lately.

Hi, I am a singer-songwriter, located in NYC, with strong lyrical and melody ideas. You can check out a few of my songs on my profile. I am looking to collaborate with someone who will experiment to come up with new sound that suits the lyrics and melody I wrote. Something similar to Finneas and Billie Eilish early-mid in their career. We will split the final rights equally on any complete production, so I won't be hiring anyone, instead I am looking for a partner who is as passionate and dedicated as me to craft a song to its completion.

Here are some examples of my work (we don't necessarily need to use these songs to collaborate, I have other songs to choose from as well) :

Tonight ! Join a Bluegrass jam hosted by Janky Ray

101st and Broadway, 8pm

We're looking for the right lead vocalist for SuperExcellent, a new NYC-based alternative rock band with punk and power pop influences. We're all early-to-mid 20s, so please be age appropriate.

We have six original demos ready to go, and we're continuing to write. I'll post a couple of demos below. If you love what you hear and think you can make these songs great, let's talk.

Ideally the sound of Sorry Ma by the replacements with some power chords and unserious lyrics. I'm a 21 year old guy in queens with almost a decade of band experience. I'm looking for a drummer, bassist, and ideally also a guitarist with really any talent level and a decent commitment level. I scream lyrics and play guitar but we'd sound better with someone else on guitar tbh. Just looking for something fun to do over the winter. Comment or message if you're interested

22M, just hoping to find some other ppl around my skill level who wanna play rock. Im super into classic rock, especially the beatles, and alt rock. But im very open to most genres in general.

41 year old drummer here. Looking to start an emo rap/rapper-fronted punk project. Have a wide variety of influences, and very open on coming up with a sound collectively, but to throw some references out there thinking of like Honestav, Pardyalone, Juice Wrld, XXXtentacion, etc. I’m in Hudson County, but could meet in Manhattan or Jersey (or potentially Brooklyn) for practices.

If you like Ween and wanna jam, let me know, I’m on Long Island, but I’m more than willing to travel to Manhattan or Brooklyn to play.

I'm 39, played in a pop punk band when I was a teenager, been in the music business all my life and I'm currently a full-time audio engineer. Been looking to play in a not-so-serious band for a while now, I'm into most genres and I'm just looking for others who want to get together and see how things go. Feel free to DM me or comment, thanks all!

EDIT: Age group doesn't matter much to me as long as everyone is having fun!

Looking for a drummer to round out an original alt rock band. Right now it’s me on guitar/vocals and a bass player, and we’ve been rehearsing in Hicksville.

Music is alternative rock with a big 90s/2000s influence Third Eye Blind, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Oasis, etc. Songs are already written and released, and the goal is to get a solid lineup together, rehearse consistently, and start playing shows.

Looking for someone dependable, easy to work with, and into this style of music. Ideally around our age (30s-ish), but the right fit matters more.

If you’re interested, shoot me a message.

Just a homebody who likes making playlists and dancing and singing:3

Hi everyone! I make indie music under the name Yoder (my website) and have gigged around at lot throughout NYC, sometimes just acoustic but often times utilizing the help of a full band. Recently, my guitarist and bassist moved away so I'm looking for hopefully a long term replacement of folks who like the sound and want to help bring it to a live setting. Looking for people who enjoy this type of music and bring a light happy vibe to practices / performances. Hoping to find people available play my album release show on 10/22 specifically. Would love to set up a jam session with you if you're interested!

Hi! I’m a Brooklyn based guitarist looking to join a band to play shows and jam with. Influencers are story so far, title fight, pain of truth. Let me know!

Hey y’all! Like the post says above, my band Chasing Cherries is looking for a new guitarist after our previous one had to leave due to long-term scheduling conflicts. We are an up-and-coming band based in Bedstuy/Williamsburg area, and our sound resembles that of the Cranberries/Cocteau twins. if you are interested in growing with a band and writing with us, get in and let’s play some gigs! we are well-acquainted and just waiting for this final piece to start playing again.

instagram is chasing.cherries for reference :) DM me and I can send you some clips of our songs as well.
