How do I start a band?

Howard the Duck · 11-29-2011, 09:42 AM

just do everything yourself

i sing, play guitars, keyboards and program the drum machines

my ego can't fit a band

Your ego has nothing to do with not being able to keep time with others.

nah, I'm a tyrant in the studio and demand everybody plays this or that

most people can't put up with that

You're like the Southeast Asian version of Billy Corgan.

Or Axl Rose...

But that would be too harsh on Duce.

Make sure you don't end up like those one man metal bands where there's one guy playing everything on MIDI keyboards.
Mind you, I don't think I'd mind being in your band. It's clearly going to do reasonably well, so I think I could put up with being ordered around a bit.

You are thinking this through too much. Just post an ad on craigslist stating that you are looking to form a band, stating which type of instrument players or vocalists you are looking for. Write down your email, and if you feel you can trust the replier you can then forward them your phone number or meet them somewhere in public. Perhaps attending local band shows would be great as well along with what others have mentioned such as posting at colleges and universities.

I don't have an ego. I have a vagina.
