Hey, new to MusicBanter & just saying hi before I go post a topic. :)

-Thom D.

Howdy! Purdue student?

Haha why yes, I am.

Unfortunately, I'm at the WRONG school for looking for peeps for a band. :/

I got lucky & found a drummer down the hall, but aside from that, Purdue isn't a good "people with musical talent" school.

Heh. Yeah, I'd imagine not. You ever go see Mike Kelsey? He's a really amazing guitarist from Lafayette. I'm not really into guitar virtuoso type music normally but he's pretty amazing live.

Nope, never heard of him, actually. Is he a student, or just someone who lives around Lafayette?

No, he just lives in the area. He's in like his early 40s. A friend of mine went to Purdue and knows him so I saw him a couple times in Chicago when I lived there. He's worth checking out if you ever see his name around. When he plays live he builds songs with a loop pedal, an acoustic guitar, and random percussion with whatever's handy. It's pretty entertaining to watch.

Welcome and all that.

Hey Thom, welcome!

The good shows are always down at IU. :(

welcome

Try posting a musicions wanted poster on the main message board. You will be surprised how many people are probably pretty good, and just dont really talk about it.

Welcome.
