Stop Playing SO LONG! Brett Newski - Words of Fang Interview #5

[@sizzlebelch947]

Any tips on starting a band in a relatively small city/town? I wanna play shows but it’s so difficult to find metal band mates. Great video!

That can be tough, especially if the talent pool is low. One of our friends had the same issue and he ended up organizing a monthly "open jam" at the local bar. Although very few people responded to his craiglist/facebook posting looking for bandmates, once he found some of the local players, it made making those connections much easier. For instance - one of the guitar players who came to the jam happened to know another guitarist looking for a band, etc. So I'd recommend either going to or starting up a jam or musician meetup.

@@LordsoftheTrident Thanks, I'll look into open jam sessions and local bars. Hopefully, I can find some likeminded musicians. Come to South Carolina some time!
