I'm a 20 year old rock chick from Perth Western Australia I write awesome lyrics and have always wanted to be lead singer in my own rock band but I have no instrumental talents and none of my friends have any interest of being in a band!. do you have any ideas for getting a band started!. I need guitarists, drummer and bassist!. How should I go about it!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well you should go to the places in your area where musicians play and meet them!. And yes, put up fliers!.

And while you are at it, if you are serious, try to develop some basic skill with some instrument, even if it's just a tambourine!. Musicians usually are wary of singers who bring nothing else to a band!. In the crappy world of music imagery, they understand the audience will simply ignore their music and focus only on the lead singer, which makes them feel upstaged and nullifies the music they are playing!. The 'chick' with the microphone is an anathema to many good musicians!. But if you reall are a good singer, and you write not just good lyrics, but have an idea for good melody and arrangements, you can overcome this!.

But no matter what, it can never hurt to learn basic guitar, piano, bass or something else so that you are actually contributing to the music, not just looking like you are trying to steal the show!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
