What area of wellington, where do you practice and what age average are you all? cheers

Am a guitarist in the petone/lower hutt area. Have a studio near by to use for rehearsals. Am looking to either join a band or establish one. I play a 7string ESP LTD and Line 6 150Watt. Varied influences; indie, metal, rock, etc. Have a catalogue of original material and constantly working on improving my playing. Have played minimum of 3-4hrs a day for the last 3 years.
Txt/ring Ollie on 027 319 2407.
I have a talented drummer who is also looking to play in a band with me.
We are a drummer and guitarist. Influences are varied; from Tool to QOTSA and Killswitch Engage to Radiohead. Some skill on the bass would be good as we are not muppets on our instruments. We practice at Eclipse Studios in Petone, no regular time, just whenever we can (often). If your interested get in touch;
Ollie 027 319 2407 or oliverluck at hotmail dot com
We are looking for an easy going bassist that knows their sh*t. A decent level of ability is a must. Our influences are vast, ranging from radiohead, QOTSA, Deftones, Korn, Tool and Killswitch Engage to Coldplay, U2, Led Zeppelin, etc. Though the main thing being that we focus alot on is melody and dynamics. We do play some quite heavy music too (sometimes quite aggressive). We are motivated and committed.
Definately wanting someone who knows that having chemistry (musically) between the band members is really important. That your bandmates are your mates (both in and outside the bandroom). And someone wanting to go as far as we can take things musically.
If this sounds like you, or someone you know. Please get in touch;

I was not saying that at all. I was saying, that you field test your material first, and if you have built up a fan base that would make recording a good quality recording (e.g, marketable material) actually worthwhile, then you would most likely have some form of interest from a label (be it indie or otherwise).
I was meaning that there are many alternate ways to get a recording done without borrowing the money.
5 words for you: Tall Poppy Syndrome My Ass...
I would actually have to be in a higher social or political vantage point to even beable to have that. And in my current state of affairs in music and the likewise, its just not happening.
Jelik,
on your site you have a statement
"Our united goal give away $400,000 by the end of 2005 through win / win transactions to charities of our joint choosing while constantly increasing our own wealth and education"
Something that put me off your whole website was the 'increasing our own wealth' part. To me it has 'used car salesman' ethics written all over it. This is a personal opinion, and others may feel differently. But I thought I'd voice it anyway.
Having said that, Ive looked over all aspects of your site and I think the ideas, and business ventures you have/are creating have alot of merit and some interesting features.
Hey man,
Get in touch with Era from Sidecar Fury, they are looking for a new bassist. They are a really good band.
phone: 027 306 6831.
True, but lower price doesnt necessarily mean lower quality. for example; STL Audio. (Which is actually in the same building as Marmalade) is very tops and very cheap. The kind of lending you are talking about is pretty much exactly what a record label would do for a band, and the band to pay them back out of royalties. Except you would be paying interest, etc with you. And if your band is good enough to even warrant going for a good quality recording project, then you would atleast have some sort of interest from a label for having a fanbase big enough to warrant spending that kind of cash.
The idea has merit, but the implementation is lacking.
Thank god for dragstrip. :D There are numerous ways to get enough $$ for a demo recording. And if you are a muso in welly then get in touch with other musos and build up relationships. Because someone is bound to have a place to record free or cheaply. And when you want to make a higher quality recording, an EP, etc, then make sure you are confident in your music. Because if you believe that your music is actually worth recording professionally, then its worth getting the $$.
But that does seem like a bit of a dodge deal. Thanks for pointing out the flaws Dragstrip.
The rockshop guys know what they are talking about dude. The guitars are usually expensive for a reason, because they are good. They are good at their job, just give them your price range and they can help you out.
Hey dude,
Would there be room for gears? like amp, gats, drums etc? so its $110 for everything except food n sh*t?
