Hey, folks -- welcome to the SCR Classifieds section. What goes here? Well, anything that's not explicitly "news" -- folks looking for bands, people looking for people, guitars looking for amps, hearts looking for homes...you get the idea. There are only four real restrictions (yeah, yeah, a few more than the original two): 1. it's gotta be in the Houston area; 2. shows don't go up here -- those get listed over here, and trying to get 'em listed on this page just bugs us; 3. don't use this area to advertise your own private business/band/whatever -- any posts that smack of "real" advertising will be ignored; and 4. please don't e-mail a "classified" ad that says "Band looking for shows!" That's the same thing as advertising, I'm afraid, and it's not why we started this particular page. Sorry; we'll eventually have paying ads on this site, so check back then.
One last thing to keep in mind: we generally put up the ads you send just as they are, with a few exceptions (we reserve the right to edit down really freakin' huge six-paragraph ads), so be careful about what you put up there. If you put your e-mail address in the ad, we'll put it up on the site -- if you don't want it there, please tell us, okay? Anyway, if you have something you'd like to contribute, send it to "gaijin" at "spacecityrock.com" with the subject line "SCR Classifieds" (sorry for the non-interactive e-mail address, but we're swamped with spam junk), and we'll try to get it up asap.

Forming a Houston Chant Band
(If you don't know what a "chant band" is, listen to some Dave Stringer or Krishna Das)
Needed:
Female Vocalist
Keyboardist
Electric Bassist
Rhythm Guitar
I moved here from Los Angeles where I was very active in the chant circuit touring with both Krishna Das and Dave Stringer and others for many years. I been living here for a few years and the chant scene in Houston is almost non-existent. I think that it's time that Houston had its own rockin chant band. This is going to be a non-religious spirit filled group, so leave your dogma at the door. All are welcome: Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, and the confused. Just don't be confused about your love of sound and love of people. I'm looking for people who love to play music and feel that music is the vehicle that connects them with others and something bigger. If you have any questions, please send me an email at allen.astin@gmail.com. The chants and music are fairly simple to learn. [10/30/2007]
I play a percussion instrument from South India called a mridangam and I'm looking for a practice space in the 1960 and I-45 area. I don't need a lot of room and I would like 24 hour access. Any suggestions?

Drumming Drum Drums Punk Metal Grunge Hardcore (Southeast; Pasadena)
I'm a drummer seeking other drummers who are willing to help me improve. Any advice is appreciated. Maybe we can set up two kits and do practice workshops. I've been playing for about a year and I'm easy to get along with. I'm open minded so you don't have to be afraid to reply to this ad. I like all kinds of music, but for my own style I'm shooting for a more aggrorock sound. I don't have a double kick pedal yet, but one day, when I'm not so broke, I'll get one. I have a basic kit.
Here's some bands that have impressed me: Shellac, Sleater Kinney, Dead Kennedys, Propaghandi, Fugazi, The Melvins, System of a Down, Rambo, Pretty Little Flower, Don Caballero, Mastadon, Rage Against the Machine, Slayer, Kreator, Dimmu Borgir; you get the idea: loud, fascinating, and brazen.

BASSIST NEEDED (The Jesus Lizard, Botch, Frodus, Refused, Breather Resist, etc.)
We're currently a 3-piece (vocals, guitar, drums) looking for a good bassist who "gets" what we do. That means if you're looking to play straight-up metal, then you might as well move along. We want someone whose playing style is a good balance of riffing and pocket playing, with big, gnarly overdriven tone. If you're familiar with Brian Cook (Botch, These Arms Are Snakes) or Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Old Man Gloom, Zozobra), then you have a good idea of what I mean. You MUST have your own decent gear (that means no Crate practice amps) and transportation. We're working on getting a permanent practice space, but if you have one then that's even better. Ideally we'd like to practice as much as 4 times a week, minimum of 2. We have a show lined up for November 9th with Young Widows, so the sooner we find somebody the better.

$85 for a LIKE-NEW DW-5000AD3 PEDAL
I took way too much care of this pedal. Yes, I played very little, but I babied it more and kept it very clean... This beast of a tool can take way more abuse than I was willing to give to it. The most reliable single pedal on the market, DW, period. At GC or any other drumshop, you will pay $170.00 for a new one. This one, well kept like new by a very anal owner, is yours for only $85.00 (half!), and comes with its own nylon carrying case. Pedal is less than two years old, but I can probably count with my hands the number of times I've used it... 713-408-8121 or carmine_73@hotmail.com [9/16/2007]

Funk Rock Band Needs Players
Our band is looking for a new rhythm guitar and bass player. Our music is very groovy so these positions are very important. For bass, someone who can play funk, rock, jazz, and blues. For guitar, same as bass but also have good selection of pedals. Check out our music on www.myspace.com/roofysnow. We are changing our name also, kind of doing a makeover.

BASS PLAYER POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR BAND.
I'm 26 years old, been playing guitar/bass since 1993. At one point I'd say I was pretty damn good, but since I haven't played in awhile I'd say my skill level is intermediate. I'm new to town, miss being a part of local music, and I might be looking for a band to jam with. I like all styles, and I've played in punk, ska, metal, indie/rock arthouse, and jazz bands since I started playing out in 97. For me it's the people who make the difference. I'm more interested in finding some cool people and having a good time than anything else. On the same hand, please don't respond if you are a cynic, drug addict, control freak, polotical revolutionary, have anger issues, or have any other personality trait that goes against having a good time. I'm only in it for fun.
If you're still interested, drop me a line at 2sweet2besoured@gmail.com. [8/06/2007]

* * THE PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER AVAILABLE FOR COVER BANDS * *
Seeks working ($$) cover band(s). I have played for 17 years (and all here in Houston). I have played in original hard rock bands, southern rock, blues bands, and cover classic rock & oldies bands (all my forte). Chances are either you or local musicians you know either know me, of me, or have played with me.
I am dependable, professional, and knowledgeable. No big ego; I am a quiet man who lets the drumming do the talking. No fancy out-of-place unnecessary super-chops, no drama. Nothing to prove that way, no pressure man. However, you will get a very solid, very entertaining, energetic and ever-present drummer behind you on stage, who you will not have to worry about. You can bet your band’s sound will be enhanced and you will feel comfortable with me fast. Of course, I feel confident with you (the hiring band) being the judge of that.
I know it is not necessary to rehearse all the time in a cover band. (An experienced, seasoned musician should know most popular covers, and/or can easily learn them through an audio CD.) Like most people, I do have a day job, therefore very minimal rehearsal is perfect (& preferred). However, rest assured I am 100% solid, well-timed, reliable, and professional for the band & audience when I’m on stage.
Due to my jobs, I am available for fill-in work, ((or permanent part-time)) on Friday's only.

***BASSIST NEEDED for Original Band***
Our current Bassist is leaving to go to school this summer and we would like to start the ever long search for the right person now. Nobody is quitting or getting fired, so the current bassist might be at an audition or rehearsal to help make the transition smooth.
US: diverse influences, committed to our band; both the music and the other members interests in the band. We hold practice 2 nights per week at Rhythm Room (Brittmoore location). Major influences include: Cake, Morphine, Beck, Grandaddy, Brian Setzer, Old country, Brit pop, Alternative, Post Grunge, Indie, LoFi, HiFi, mixing in a little jazz as well. Each member is open minded and appreciates feedback.
YOU: Some jazz experience is preferred but not required. You play tastefully, you are dynamic, can walk baselines and hopefully are a bit funky but ya don't have to be Victor Wooten, please be melodic and creative. Honesty is very important. We need someone we can trust who will trust us, someone who will not lie (about anything). Trust is the foundation of this band and we would apprieciate someone who is interested in getting to know and spend time with any one or all of us inside or outside of practice. All of your personal affairs must be in order. Please be between 21 and 30, drink and smoke all you want, but don't let it effect your or our performance/relationship. If all of this is not too much to ask, please reply to set up a series of auditions. It would be helpful if you have your own equipment and reliable means of transporting your gear. Please be willing to pay 1/6th studio rent as well since we've had a couple of past members who thought this was optional.
THE MUSIC: is at www.myspace.com/folkmachines After reviewing each one of the songs, because they are different, Please contact us through the myspace site or you can leave your name, number and the best time to call you back at 713.983.8179 or 832.462.9114 and we will get back to you. [6/01/2007]
THE POLICE tribute band needs GUITARIST & DRUMMER
Bassist and vocalist in search of a Guitarist and Drummer for The Police tribute start-up band. I am the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Pepper tribute band The Chili Peckers, and measuring from the success of my RHCP tribute band, I feel that a Police tribute would do very well in Houston and Texas in general. With all the connections I already have at bars and clubs (I do the band booking), getting shows will not be an issue. The money is good in the tribute band business, especially if you hit a good market. I have played all over Texas w/ the RHCP tribute, and I expect no less from The Police tribute.
At this moment, everything is negotiable. From where we practice, to where we play. The money will be split evenly (three ways)--and when you are getting paid big bucks, a three-way split is very nice. Covering other material is an option, but from my experience, it's easier to sell a tribute band than a cover band--ok now I'm babbling.
I have everything needed except for PA (which I plan to get very soon). Gear currently owned: Drumset, bass rig & basses, guitar rig & guitars (all of good quality (especially my guitars)).
All I need is two guys that can rip on their instruments and are willing to put the time and effort needed for a tribute band. The first phase is the only hard phase, after learning the songs--it's easy money!

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS tribute band needs DRUMMER.
Auditions for a new drummer for a very established RHCP tribute band based out of Houston are currently being held. We have 4+ years of experience together and we have played all across Texas and have shows constantly booked. The money is very decent. Our only limitation is ourselves; we get as many shows as we pursue. We have played at several venues several times. Constant gigs. We are very skilled at what we do. Drummers responsibility: learn the songs, show up to practice, show up to the shows, get paid.
On a side note: Honest Charlie is our "original" band. We have several "original songs" that we are currently working on and depending on the chemistry, the new drummer may very well be a part of it, if he chooses to be part of it.
Practice would be either in Dayton (Very north-east part of town) or Pasadena (east-side)
Whoever is thinking about auditioning please bear in mind with the utmost sincerity: We are a very serious band with very serious intentions. We do travel out of town often. WE do split all money evenly or we don't split it at all (for a collective band purpose). ZERO-TOLERANCE for flakes. We all have things to take care of outside of the band -- but we hold the band very high in our priorities.

Clear Lake area guitarist looking to start something new. I'm interested in meeting others who's passion is music, first and foremost, and that are looking to start a band or complete one.
Here's some background info on myself: I'm 25 years old. I've been playing guitar off and on for around 7 years. Some of my favorite bands include: Alter Bridge, Incubus, Staind, Creed, Green Day, Bush (first few albums), Trivium, and Pearl Jam just to name a few. My favorite style to play (and write songs) is heavy rock, with some metal thrown in and even some slow songs occasionally. I love heavy distorted chords and heavy rock riffs.
What I'm looking for: First and foremost, no drama, no egos, and no drugs. People in or around the Clear Lake area. People that are easy to get along with, and that understand becoming great is not an overnight acheivement. People interested in the same style of music that want to create original songs. People who don't have delusions of granduer about their band being a nationwide name, but rather focus on developing from within and seeing what happens.
My equipment: I play an Epiphone SG through a B-52 all tube head with a Behringer 4x12 slanted cab. Have a few pedals, but rely mostly on my amp head for my sound. Also have several practice amps for use in more "noise-free" areas.
If this sounds interesting to anyone, please feel free to email me at eggbert_the_great@yahoo.com

Lead Guitarist (Blues/Rock Stylist) Needed ASAP
We are a Far North Houston original project band. We are a complete band but just lost our lead guitar player to personal issues.
We have TWO original albums written and need immediate replacement. Our ideal lead guitarist should be a natural blend of Santana, David Gilmour and Stevie Ray Vaughan. If you are a Natural Blues Rock stylist we need to talk ASAP.
We ARE NOT a blues band, but our music employs the blues rock style. We do play our share of original blues rock.
TBR (Texas BackRoads) is primarily an ORIGINAL PROGRESSIVE ROCK project. Our new lead guitar should also be able to incorporate a modern/alt rock sound as well as some music for the Texas Music Scene. We have 3 lead vocalists and are VOCAL RICH with Male and Female lead vocalists with excellent harmonies.
TBR also includes a gifted Synth/Keys Player and killer bassist backed up with rhythm guitar and an outstanding drummer. Most of us love the Pink Floyd style of Progressive Rock but we maintain our own style and sound.
We have been in the studio with our project and now need a replacement lead player to continue this. Songwriters are a BIG plus as well. We recently completed writing 2 new Alt/Rock songs this past week and need your lead guitar input.
Preview our music style here: www.myspace.com/txbackroads
This will give you a cross-section of our music for album ONE. It will also give you some idea of our bands goals and recent exposure in Texas Music Magazine.
Call anytime (ASAP): 281-659-2200 txbackroads@hotmail.com
Looking forward to talking with you...

****WHO WOULD WANT TO BE A ROCK STAR?****
Music is dead. Everybody is playing the same recycled crap, wearing the same recycled clothes, sportin the same recycled attitudes. Look at a wall in your local guitar store and you'll see want ads saying either Metal band or Cover band or worse needs something or another. Who would want to be a rock star when no body believes a band can release an album with more then 2 good songs on it, and why buy the album when you can just download the songs? I dont want to be a rock star, I just want to make some music. Something that might actually have some heart in it through every song. Something that if I play it in front of people they'll connect to it, not just because I've marketed it well, but because it's really what they need to hear. I play bass and guitar, and when called upon I can sing poorly and off key. I've played Bass in 4 or 5 bands, and got on stage to play a few gigs with most of them. I've never really played guitar on stage, but I love my gitfiddle for the sake of music writing. I enjoy up beat music, but whatever comes out of that great nether that music comes from is what I play, so should the mood swing me a melodic song can be mighty fine, just so long as the distortion gets kicked back on afterwards for some more up tempo enjoyment. If you're looking for someone "dedicated" then look elsewhere because thats not me. I am a musician, its what I love not what I'm dedicated to, the buisness of music can keep to itself, I'd rather reach a handful of people in the town I live in then try to throw myself into the machine of the music world on the off chance that one day I might be able to see my name in Billboard magazine. I live on the southwest side of town, have gear that is cheap and beatin to hell, but still works, and if my entirely pessimistic attitude hasn't thrown you off just yet drop me a line and we'll see about a jam. It ain't like I'm askin for your hand in marrige.

The Right Villanous John Hall Seeks a Drummer and Bassist
The Right Villanous John Hall is forecasting growth; 100% growth to be precise. We are currently two but we must become four. In particular, we are looking for a drummer and a bassist so that The Right Villanous John Hall can exist in the flesh and blood and peddle our rock alongside cocktails at local venues like Walters, Rudz and The Proletariat. The band's sound falls somewhere under the oft-applied "indie/alternative" label. We have a full album worth of originals and more songs in the works. Some tunes are posted on our myspace page: www.myspace.com/therightvillanousjohnhall.
In evaluating potential bandmates, the most important attributes are a pleasant disposition, affinity in musical taste, and good ideas. Kick-ass chops are a definite plus. We don't care if you're male or female, 9 or 90. (If you really are 9, however, we'll probably need your parents to sign a permission slip.) Residing reasonably close to the Rice/Village area of town is also essential, unless you can play the bass or drums via telekinesis, in which case you are hired without further questions! Well, not really hired, but you get the job...
Interested parties should contact us via our myspace page or at villanousjohnhallATgmailDOTcom [10/02/2006]
.belville is in search of a new bassist/vocalist, female preferred. Must be able to sing on key in melodic harmony. Must be super dedicated, able and willing to tour, have transportation ( or live in the area of Clear Lake), and be able to pitch in for practice room rent. .belville does not do drugs, or excessively drink. We are serious as to where our music is taking us, and would like like-minded individuals. Believing in magic or the universe would be amazing. Equipment can be provided. If interested please call Jay @281-798-6991 or Jonny@281-798-5669 or email us at fromholin@gmail.com. [9/22/2006]
