Just thought that I would mention that I found the players for Nuvo Wavo on this site (and cosmic debris).. This message board works... just have to keep the faith and keep spreading the word... - Fri, 4 Mar 2005 10:57pm

I second that. My old band Three Night Stand was formed entirely off this messageboard. And my current band Kincaide was also entirely connected through livevic, old members and new. Thanks Nev and Scott. - Sat, 5 Mar 2005 1:51am

It's encouraging to hear success stories. I was especially suprised that Kincaide hooked up here, I dig you guys.

I personally have nothing but shit for luck. I have attracted every half-baked loser, junky, know-it-all, slack ass and low level talent on here.

All I need is a drummer but it's like seeking the holy grail.

How were your messages worded? What's the trick? - Fri, 11 Mar 2005 4:43pm

Bob, what kind of project do you have in mind?

I'm a drummer. 33. Only interested in the right fit these days. Don't want to waste your time or mine. - Fri, 11 Mar 2005 10:20pm

This is a fantastic resource -- a juiced up version of a cork board at the music store. I've had good luck with it, joining up with three bands using LiveVic as the initial contact.

Also had several jams I'd like to take back -- the trick is to pull the plug early when it's not working. Also, honesty about what you're looking for and what you're not. - Sat, 12 Mar 2005 6:12pm

Good to know the board works. To add to STBP's post, make sure you're posting what you're looking for in a musician, particularly age/experience. Saves everyone a lot of hassle. 'bassist wanted for metal band. must have pro gear' just doesn't cut it. Btw, is there any good reason Monday Magazine doesn't have a 'musicians wanted/available' in their classifieds section?? That's standard stuff in Vancouvers entertainment rag. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 1:26pm

It's there sometimes -- but not many will actually pay for that when you can post here for free, or at a music store. If there aren't any listings, the section just won't appear. Same goes for the You Pissed Me Off section -- when that's missing, I'm pissed!

The musicians listing in the Georgia Straight is massive -- I wouldn't know where to start. What a nightmare it must be getting a jam together there, more so than here. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:23pm
