Seriously, reading ads in the 'musicians' section of craigslist is pretty depressing. Anyone actually join a band through a craigslist ad?

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

Good to know I'm not alone with this feeling.

I guess it's time to hit the clubs and see what's up. Anyone know of someone looking for a bass player, hit me up.

I thought you used Craigslist only if you were selling your band or looking to buy a new one. hehe

I don't know about the phoenix craigslist, but the denver one isn't bad. I found my last band through there and was with them for a year. I'd use more conventional methods, but it's hard when you don't have connections...
