Drummer Looking For Band/Jamming
Hi all, I'm a drummer looking for a band or people to jam with.
I've played for about 3 years, sometimes having off periods.
I am interested in all genres and can use double kick with succession but would rather play something new and unusual such as a tribal theme band or along the lines of Tool or Primus. Anything like that really.
Text me on 0211720692 or message me here, cheers
Her Make Believe Band at The Crypt Sessions

The Crypt Session are a series on intimate acoustic performances filmed in HD and recorded at The Crypt studio in London.
how ridiculous! It's on a Tuesday cos the promoter was a dodgy fuck and wasn't sure if they were going to turn up that nite. What a circus that ended up being........ Barmode rocked!
Based in Auckland. I don't care too much about age, however, you might. Our
bass player is late 20's, I am early 30's......... is all kinda irrelevant anyway as I
find that people age differently.... but up to you. Head over to myspace.com/thegraveyardwhistlers
just started setting up a site, check out the music style.

Looking for people to jam...
Hi all
Moved in Auckland a while now, it has been a long time since I have played with others or written anything...and would love to continue with whomever wants to jam.
I play any songs that has good,meaningful lyrics and also enjoy working on songs written by my friends.
I am no pro and still have a lot to learn and am looking for anyone who would love to play for the sake of making music. Depending on the commitment of others would be nice to have a band...
To give you an idea of what I can do check out this short video I posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VbpfvJgopw
As for your music inffluences it can go as far as India, Ireland, France...(I don't care) as long as you got rhythm; being a mixed race I have a lot of inffluences.
Well, I am very excited at the prospect of playing music again with people.
Let me know if you're interested...:O)

Just a quick question.
I had a couple of vertabra fused back in '03.The surgeon went thru my neck.What a dumb ass I was for not forseeing the future!After the healing was pretty much over I tried the pipes and I had lost 3to4 notes on the high end.I went back bitching and he said just keep practicing and it would come back.NOT!
Any suggestions how to work this out?Medically losen vocal chords?Drink a magic formula?
I'm not a pro singer but I loved going to different places to sit in and do back up vocals.Just an ole 59 year hippie singer song writer.
Any replies very appreciated.
Peace......

Trouble on the Waterfront Album Launch
The 1951 waterfront dispute was an epoch in New Zealand history. It lasted 151 days, and 22,000 New Zealanders were affected by the lockouts and associated strikes.
Now, a new album Trouble on the Waterfront explores some of the events, the attitudes, and the personal perspectives of that time through the medium of contemporary song.
Chris Prowse is pleased to present Trouble on the Waterfront, an album of musical snapshots of the 1951 Waterfront Dispute, featuring some of this country's finest musicians and spoken word contributions from well known radio voices.
Trouble on the Waterfront will be launched at a FREE public event at 2pm Sunday October 25 (Labour Weekend) at the Museum of Wellington City and Sea, including performances from The Waterfront Collective band and historical perspectives of the time from noted historian and author David Grant. Join them for an afternoon of music and history this coming Labour Sunday.
Trouble on the Waterfront is a collaboration of some leading New Zealand singers and musicians including Bill Hickman (The Shot Band), Eva Prowse and Tessa Rain (Fly My Pretties), Andrew Delahunty (The Windy City Strugglers), songwriter and performer Arthur Baysting, and Darren Mathiassen (Hollie Smith and Rhombus). In addition, the album features well-known radio broadcasters Sharon Crosbie and Tom Frewen, who added their voices to the track Media Watch.

Hi. I am looking myself too. If my thinking serves me right, there were 36 volumes in the full collection. I think I am 3 short of that.However I do have extras of some volumes. Some are not in the best of condition which is why I have collected more than 1.I have collected these from 2nd hand shops.I would be happy to do what i can to help. I also have a friend who would probably have the collection.Look forward to hearing back from you
