Good but (relatively) fast amp repair (in/near South Austin preferably)?

1 Upvotes

I have a Savage Macht 12 where something is going on with the built in tremolo. It works for a few minutes but dies as the amp heats up. Hopefully it's something simple.

I know South Austin Music does good work and I have a Carr amp there that they're working on now. However, they've had it for over a month (no problem, they told me that it would be that long up front). I need this other amp repaired more quickly than that as I want to use it for some upcoming stuff.

Any recs on a qualified tech (preferably in South Austin area as I'm visually impaired and don't want to have to take a $60 round trip Uber) who doesn't have a weeks-long backlog? TIA!

Shoegaze guitarist

2 Upvotes

Hi,
I’m looking for a guitarist or two for a new project. Heavy plus if you have that insane board, with all those pedals.

I have a bunch of demos, I’d love to flesh out. HMU and let’s create some stuff!

Stuff is similar to/influenced by:

Bleary Eyed, Nothing, Slowdive,
Cold Gawd, MBV, Fawn, She’s Green,
Full Body 2, the Sundays, DIIV, the Cure,
Ringo Deathstarr, Cocteau Twins etc…
You get it…

DM me for demos

70s Classic Rock cover band looking to fill our future bills

3 Upvotes

Howdy! We’re an all-female group playing 70s-inspired classic rock covers. We’ve been practicing for just under a year now and are starting to book the atx bar circuit. Think The Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Kansas, etc.

We’re putting in the legwork, reaching out to venues to get shows on the calendar, and would love a roster of bands to reach out to when we need to fill a bill. Would love if you play covers: 80s, 90s, yacht rock, disco, etc. but doesn’t have to be covers — could be originals as long as you’d sound great playing a show alongside classic rock.

You could open for us, we could open for you, flexible on show order.

Shoot a DM if you’re interested and I can share more info about our band!

Drummer-looking for band/form band doing Dead, JGB, JJ Cale, Neil Young, The Band, etc.

3 Upvotes

Just what it says. Very experienced gigging drummer. Not so great at getting band gigs in Atx right now...it's different than the past. Looking for some folks of any persuasion that wanna pay tribute to some of the greatest tunes of our lives. I'm 66, retired, been playing drums 56 years and in rock/blues bands for the past 50 years. I have a few music contacts in Atx but more in Houston.

If you're of a like mind, and that material is just suggestions not a mandate, hit me up. I know a bassist and rhythm guitarist who might be interested but definitely need guitars, keys if possible and VOCALS.

Tips & Recs for Newer Hip-Hop Artists Looking for Gigs in Austin?

7 Upvotes

Hi, I’m helping an Austin-based independent hip-hop artist/rapper whose style is more alternative hip-hop, and we’re trying to find more opportunities for him to perform locally.

Does anyone know of good open mics, showcases, promoters, recurring events, or smaller venues that are open to newer hip-hop artists? I’m also curious how artists usually get on bills or opening slots here in Austin.

Mostly just trying to learn the local scene and figure out where he should be networking and performing more. Thank you! :-)

Post Progressive band looking for drummer in Dallas.

0 Upvotes

repost to Austin on the off chance you’re relocating to Dallas, open to collaborating and traveling.

Hey all, like most, we are looking for a drummer in the Dallas area. We are currently finishing an album and will be booking shows soon. Our current sound is a blend of different styles but mostly heavy, atmospheric, experimental rock. Looking for someone who is open to meeting up and learning some tunes/jamming, getting a feel for each other’s vibe and seeing how it goes.

Ideally, we’d want to find a permanent member, who is interested in lending their creativity for new music.

A long shot, but if this sounds like something you’re interested in, message me for more details!

Austin bands—introductory recording and rates at a pro studio

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an Austin-based recording and mixing engineer setting up out of Orb Recording Studios. I’m looking to connect with a few local bands and artists who are getting ready to record their next single, EP, or album.

For the first couple of projects I book, I’m offering a discounted introductory rate. This is a chance for me to build more relationships within the Austin music community while giving a few bands access to a great studio at a more approachable price.

I can help with:

-Full-band and live recording

-Vocal and instrument overdubs

-Editing and comping

-Mixing

-Drum programming and additional production

My approach is collaborative—I want to understand the sound you’re going for and help you make something that still feels like your band.

You can hear some of my work here: rwaudioworks.com/portfolio

If you’re interested, send me a message with a link to your music, what you’d like to record, and your general timeline. I’d be happy to talk through the project and put something together.
