  • HELMET. Ya, I kinda like them a lot. Anyone interested in starting up a Helmet influenced band? I'm a 32 year old drummer who has played his entire life. I've played in some pretty cool bands and have done a ton of live shows. And just so you know, I am not stuck on Helmet. My second fav band are The Stills with Tokyo Police Club in third and Iron Maiden in 4th. So that should give you an idea of the spectrum of my influences. But I would LOVE to play some hard hitting, energetic music that is REALLY different and would have a hard time being played on Virgin. Talk to me. If you enjoy bands that might open for or are Nickelback or Shinedown or Daughtry, no thanks. :) If you don't know who Helmet is, this could cause a problem as well. Anyways, hope all is well out there in Ottawa Musicland!

  • SEEKING CO-PRODUCER/COLLABORATOR. I'm a musician/producer in my mid 20s. My goals are to produce music for various artists and explore other commercial opportunities. I have a wide musical palette, but specialize in guitar work, patch building, synthesis, drum programming, arrangements, sound design, song writing, and mixing...I have a good ear and strive for perfection. I'd like to find someone in a similar situation, where we would complement each other's qualities and work hard towards making a name for ourselves. If anyone's in the same boat, please get in touch (also interested in solo artists of varying styles that are looking for a dedicated producer). Self-written/produced/performed demos of some of my personal material can be found at my band's page @ www.myspace.com/audibleobsession, although I'm more versatile than this style of music (enjoy electronic, indie, trad.rock, alternative rock, blues, hip-hop, pop, etc). Lets get in touch and start making music!

  • Experienced bassist looking to join an established classic rock and/or alternative band. I’ve played in several bands over the years and have gigged in and around the Ottawa area. I’ve covered a wide variety of bands, including Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Journey, Brian Adams, Van Halen, AC/DC, Tragically Hip, Green Day, Collective Soul, ZZ Top, Audio Slave, Chilli Peppers, Our Lady Peace, Counting Crows, Danko Jones, Three Days Grace and 54/40 just to name a few. I’m looking for something fun but serious - gotta justify blowin’ the dough on all this gear! :) I’m looking for folks who, like me, are creative, have a good sense of humour, are open to suggestions and constructive criticisms, and have professional but down-to-earth attitudes. I am eager to gig once or twice/month. Email me at
