I say just keep practing and socializing. There are a lot of musicians in the world, and finding the right ones is an execise of patience.

Something else you might want to consider is that most musicians are only willing to selflessly play along with someone's idea or vision if they're being paid to do so. I'm assuming - like most artists - you're not made of money, so instead of pitching a predisposed notion of what you want "your band" to sound like, try pitching yourself to people as an open-minded experimenter interested in trying and creating new things. It could end up being fun and surprising to go this route as opposed to being stressed out about expectations. Bands are a give-and-take kinda thing. People get freaked out by ideologues.
