Hey everyone, may know of me, may not.

I was the vocalist for the homeless, sang and played guitar in humble pine, and six beautiful devices.

Looking to get involved in some straight vocal work again, as that is my passion, so anyone hunting a vocalist, drop me a line, i'm fairly flexible about styles, just no pop radio ballads.

Preffer mellow stuff, or heavy stuff if you know how to spin a tune, not just chug a chug.

regards

Sam.

Age: 20+

My main Drumming influences are Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Vinnie Paul (Ex-Pantera), Chris Kontos (Ex-Machine Head) and Daniel Svensson (In Flames).

I wish to bring to your attention a new music site which has just been developed for the Townsville music community – www.townsvillemusic.com.

The site currently operates as a forum where users can post news, information, classified advertisements, gig dates, reviews, sport, and discussion threads on topics of their choice.

Plans are also under way to include a band and musician database complimented by a community online shop where artists will be able to upload their music and merchandise. We anticipate these features will come online in early 2008, however the forum is up and running now.

Thank you for your time and we trust you will visit www.townsvillemusic.com soon and help support and foster our local music community.

Warm regards,

I've played gigs in Melbourne for the best part of the last six years playing in an acoustic duo. We played everything from Rolling Stones to Pearl Jam, Live, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Robbie Williams, Crowded House, Paul Kelly to name a few.

I'm keen to find a similar minded performer with good vocals for sharing the workload and harmonies, and most importantly the ability to read a crowd and have fun.

Me, I play rythm and some little riffs, but prefer rythm and have a fairly decent voice to match a wide range of songs.

My friend and I are looking to start a serious ska band in Townsville, both of us have played in many bands before and are experienced, we have played in genres such as metal, punk and hardcore but we must admit we really want to play ska. Gender does not matter in this band, guys and girls wanted. We have influences from many genres so if this was put into a ska band I think it will make a really unique sounding group. Influences include: Strung Out, Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto, Bouncing Souls, Avenged Sevenfold, Rancid, NOFX, Guttermouth, Dropkick Murphys, The Street Pirates, Mad Caddies, The Offspring, Blink 182, AFI, Nirvana, and well too many to mention here really. We are looking for people who are really keen and want to go all the way. So please don't hesitate to contact myself or Scott if you are interested. I can be contacted on 0432731333 and by email on sid_vicious56@hotmail.com and Scott can be contacted on shortmanscott@hotmail.com Thanks for taking the time to read this and we look forward to hear from you. Cheers, Ben and Scott.

Looking for muso's to jam with, nothing too serious YET ;). We have whole set up, drums, guitar/bass amps along with the guitars. Mic with boom stand that we just plug into guitar amp (does the job). I play both drums and rhythm guitar but would like to mainly play drums. If anyone's interested in getting together for a jam email me. My other half plays guitar and bass but will never learn the songs I would like to jam too which is any songs apart from country and hard core punk/heavy metal. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey, I'm looking for a drummer and bass or rythym guitar player to tour a CD my band has made. We have recorded a 10 track CD of funk/heavy/rock stuff but two of our members have left so we need new guys (or girls) to help tour the CD around QLD late this year sometime. If you think you might be up for it let us know - we need committed people for this though! We're into heaps of different stuff though (everything from Beatles to Led Zep to Tom Waits, Chili Peppers, Primus, The Doors and heaps of other shit) so if you have a wide range of musicals tastes that's cool!
