Just want a moan really.
Moved to Leeds recently and the biggest draw was the music scene. Thought it would be easy to recreate my band from down south. Put adds on JMB and my god, the crap I've dealt with on there. I have had loads of people that are super keen, one guy even sent me videos of him playing the songs and then when it came to arrange a date to get together he just completely ghosted me.
A bass player confirmed the studio location and time and then just didn't show up, left me there to pay for the thing without a word. I figured he was probably some student that decided to get on the beers instead. Dived into their profile and it was a 50 y.o man. Is it really that hard to just say "sorry, I've had a change of heart but good luck anyway"
I've also had about 5 people start messaging and then completely stop with no explanation.
I just don't get it, we're all adults, how hard is it just to send a courtesy text? I'm half tempted to name and shame them on JMB.
If you arrange studio time and then just don't show, then fuck you.

Networking is always going to be better than advertising. Can you find some other likeminded people to get in with, and build from there?
ha hahahahaha!

I was straight up about that and just got the reply "sorry must know blues"
8 weeks later he's still advertising every few days...

My previous drummer, it took us two years to find him but he's a great friend now. I look up to him in a way.
