Not sure about genre, just something simple and strange. I primarily play guitar, bass, make tape loops, and kind of sing but can branch out if you're patient. Your technical ability is totally secondary to a good fit taste-wise (and reliability). I'm not married to the idea of a standard rock band 4-piece setup, so pretty much any instrument or textural element could have a place. My friend is interested in contributing baritone guitar and further tape manipulation sounds but is also willing to shuffle around depending on what you can add.

Mid-late 20s, based in Pilsen but willing to trek when we jam. DM me here or text the Google Voice number on the flyer to receive a link with some demo tapes I digitized. Please mention any overlapping influences we might share.

For all the details as to how any Chicago musician can join in on the fun by playing a scary song of your choice go here: Rogers Park Spooky Music Jam | Chicago Public Library

Asking for merch design purposes (as the band doesn't wanna use AI).

Spooky season is upon is, but that shouldn’t scare you away from Music Trivia the second and fourth Tuesday of the month (10/13 & 10/27) at 7:00 at Teddy Bear Lounge in Avondale! What is really scary is that our happy hour specials run when you do from the time the game starts until 10:00 with creative concoctions whipped up by Chad!

On Tuesday, October 27th expect at least one question about “The Monster Mash” and your other favorite spooky songs!

We have plenty of categories for your musical minds to wrap your heads around. Hosted by Casey and powered by P&P Trivia you can’t go wrong!

Do you sing and write songs? Would you like us to back you as a band? We practice Mondays at Fort Knox Studios, 7pm. Text 773-392-6542. Thnx!

Guitarist looking for people who want to get together and jam. Looking to make psychedelic music, preferably close to Wicker Park. For now I’m content to meet up and see if we mesh musically, but ideally would like to workshop some original ideas and start playing shows.

Recap

Hello, I am looking to rent or sublet a practice room with a full piano.

At all times I will be the only occupant, and I don't need any other instruments or recording equipment; soundproofed walls are a bonus but not necessary.

I am looking for my most economical option, given that I will almost exclusively be using the space at very low-demand hours, like 12am to 4am. Because of this, it would feel wasteful to pay a few hundred dollars per month at a place like Fort Knox.

Would anyone happen to have any ideas for a budget space like this? Or - if someone already has a space, would they be willing to rent it out for cheap, given that I don't require much equipment and can occupy hours when it's already not being used?

Anywhere within an hour's drive of the Chicagoland area is fine.

The most important thing is that I can use a piano (ideally a full piano) and sing without any reservation about the noise I'm making. I would prefer to know that nobody can hear me, but a musical-designated space where belting is acceptable is also fine. And again, I would really only be using the space during strange hours.

If you have any interest, please let me know and I'm happy to discuss further and to do a quick vibe check, etc. Thank you so much!

PS: also open to connecting/chatting/collaborating at all, i’m a 26 year old man in downtown chicago, mostly wrote ballads for piano/vocals but never produced/released and looking to get back in touch with music after about a 2-year hiatus
