I miss the days of legit CL ads ...had a lot of luck with that. Looked at band mix and didn't really like how it was set up...and yes ..just... weirdness.....but I suppose we must do what we can.Just sign up for BandMix, put in your details and set it to send you weekly notifications with any bands looking for guitar players in your area. Pretty soon you'll start getting emails with a list of bands looking for flutists and harmonium players. Everyone in these bands will be either 15 or 85 years old. There will also be a list of a dozen people at the bottom of the email with names like gary048278326 who have no profile information at all, and one drummer who is clearly on the sex offender registry.
I have had an ad for whatever site, written in my notes for the exact thing id like....but just too realistic to post it....makes me sound like a kid.... but here it is.

Looking to pay tribute to a period of music, which is currently experiencing a revival.
Looking to recreate and honor original recordings of music from late 80s to early 2000s.
This includes but not limited to the Cult, Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, RATM, Radiohead, The Black Crowes, Queens Of The Stone Age...as well as more obscure bands such as Hum, Sunny Day Real Estate, the Melvins, Fugazi. Can also cover Metal ground too, as the sets I work on include Refused, Mastodon, Every Time I Die, and Killswitch Engage.
Also open to more.
Essentially, this is a high level, detail oriented project, celebrating the many varied corners of what would eventually become alternative/grunge/heavy era we all know and love.
I have played music for over 30 years. I always loathed cover bands. What I am looking to accomplish isn't just a cover band...it is essentially a tribute act...without the hokey look. Looking to make audiences happy, by recreating these classic sounds live.
It is understood that certain vocalist are difficult to replicate, in spite of this, this is the aim.
Looking for a handful of capable, disciplined, and hard working individuals to get this project going.
Needs - 2nd guitar. Bass. Vocals. Solid drums.
If this was done right it could lead to something. What, I Am not sure.
Execution is of the most importance.
This isn't for those that ignore the details. This will be a very detail oriented project. But if all goes well, horns and secondary percussion could be involved.
Let's work hard and
recreate cool sounds!
