do you hang out with people that play music? that's just about all that I hang out with and there's always potential bands that can be formed.

Get drunk. Think of a band name. Book a show. Get two friends. Teach one to play bass and make the other play drums whether they know how to play or not. Then you are in a band.
I do believe this is seriously the way that most bands get started. The one I'm currently in (and have been for the last 3 and a half years) started this way. How else could a band called Pat Boone's Farm start?

look into freemasonry.
the freemasons enjoy advantages in many social sectors.
Best answer yet.![]()
Whatever 'advantages' they 'enjoy' in this particular 'social circle,' certainly don't make sense to me.![]()
That's the way my current band works, but without the drunkenness. We've got a real web site (www.techniciansband.com), a myspace, AND a facebook page. We played two shows so far, but the sites were up before that. You know, so we'd be able to tell people to go check them out at the end of the set. Wouldn't want to look like losersOh, I forgot one important step. After getting drunk and naming the band, but before you book the shows, create an annoying myspace page.
I strongly suggest that the first meeting be at a neutral location (bar, coffee shop, etc.) without instruments, just to talk about music and what the plans are for the band. I've skipped this many times and the resulting audition was a complete waste of my time.
