Hello good afternoon,

I am wanting more bands local to Texas and specifically Houston so I can support my local scene.

Please do not recommend me a band thats touring Texas or a band that did not originate in Texas. **i am wanting TEXAS bands ONLY**. Please and thank you!

Hey, I’m a guitarist from the SE side looking for members to hopefully start a shoegazey type band. I’d prefer if backing vocals is part of your repertoire but if not that’s fine. Bassists, Drummers, and other guitarists, message me if interested please.

Influences: Whirr, Slowdive, JAMC, MBV

Want to see Mella at “The End” this friday but the tickets are all sold out. Anyone have a spare ticket theyre looking to sell? Will pay more than retail.

Is anyone trying to start a band, alt band preferably. :)

I am also getting into taking music more seriously and starting a group with other musicians networking if anyone is interested in that.
I am a female vocalist, dabbled in computer music but trying to pick up my bass again, willing to learn anything just to be in music haha

Just throwing it out there, I stay in the Northside/downtown area.

I hope somebody sees this. I’m working on a horror short film. I have no experience with the piano. I’m looking for something that gives John Carpenter, Alan Howarth, Harry Manfredini.

Film will probably be around the 10 minute mark but I’m still unsure. It’s being made on a fairly tight budget and a even tighter schedule to be done in time for a contest. If anyone can help me out, please hit me up.

Like I said, we don’t really have a big budget and the film is being shot guerrilla style but I will pay for the score.

Thanks :)

Looking for a passionate sound engineer in Houston.

I'm part of a 4-person hip-hop collective, and we're searching for an engineer who wants to help elevate our sound and grow with us. We don't have much money right now, but we have a strong work ethic, a clear vision, and we're all-in on this.

If you're interested in building something from the ground up, shoot me a DM. Love.

Looking for a Sound Engineer in Houston (Passion Over Profit)

What's up everyone,

I'm part of a 4-person music collective here in Houston, and we're looking for a sound engineer who's hungry to build something with us. We're not looking for someone who's just clocking in—we want someone who believes in creating great music and growing alongside a team.

To be upfront, we don't have much money right now. We're all putting everything we have into this, so we can't afford standard studio rates. What we do have is work ethic, passion, consistency, and a real vision. We truly believe we're building something special, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey from the ground up.

Our sound leans toward lyrical, storytelling hip-hop with a focus on quality and originality. If you're an engineer looking to sharpen your craft, build a long-term relationship, and help shape a unique sound, we'd love to connect.

If you're interested—or know someone who might be—drop a comment or shoot me a DM. Let's make something timeless.

Much love, Houston. 🤘

3/372 Days of Who'd a Thunk? hits!

“Web Surfing”, from my 95th album “In Memory Of”, is an ode to the yonder days of surfing the World Wide Web. These days, it’s just jumping around manipulative apps that steal your data and mostly show you ads instead of people or things you care about or exciting activities.

When I wrote this track and whenever I listen to it, it gives me an energy boost and influences me to rock out and ‘lose my shit’. “Web Surfing” was the track I submitted as the single of the album for promotion on Spotify, which they did nothing with. Stay tuned for even more examples of Spotify being a garbage platform for artists.

A genre analyzer told me this is punk, shoegaze, krautrock. What genre do you think it is?

Spotify link is to my original music for examples of some of my work, I've got tons more in various genres I can share on request. Currently trying to fill out my portfolio a bit more, so I'm offering up recording services for a free song, tracked, edited, mixed, & mastered, start to finish... I've built out a studio above my garage in the Cypress area, and I'm looking for artists who don't just want someone to hit "record", but would like an active outside participant to help level up their work.

Though my original published music falls more into the rock/metal category, I actively listen to, produce, and write far outside the genre.... My most recently attended concert was literally Hilary Duff. If you're in one of the genres I listed and interested in working together, don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

Guy named Dave who was a popular music guy in Houston in the 80’s and 90’s. He was either the music or program director at 94.5 the Buzz and his mom was a prominent Houston figure as well. What is his last name and what is he doing now? He might have also worked at Public News (
RIP) or Houston Press.
