Hi everyone, I'm throwing an end-of-the-world/rapture themed party and I'm trying to think of some fun bits and ideas for it, so I thought I'd come here. So far we have a countdown to the end (sort of New Year's Eve style with a kiss), and a confessions booth -- though what to do with those confessions, I'm not sure yet. Anyway, if anyone has ideas please comment!

When I woke up yesterday morning, I had a drummer. Though we are devastated by this loss, we're ready to get back out there. Here are the deets:

We are a (name pending) all female/queer group in our mid-late twenties.

We're pretty new! We haven't started gigging yet, though we want to soon and we are all pretty committed so we need someone who's ready to lock in. I started this band because I have many unused songs written that I want to workshop and put out there, so we're looking for someone who's ready to take creative liberty and collaborate. I sometimes have an idea of what I want the drums to sound like, but I have no idea how to communicate that so we need someone who is patient with pointless miming and all that.

We're going for an alt/indie and garagey/punk/riot grrrl sound - a mix of it all (my main inspo is Mannequin Pussy, for reference). I don't have control of what I write, however, and everything comes out indie. Be prepared.

(That's a big part of why I'm looking to workshop my stuff)

We meet on Tuesday nights! We have a rehearsal space in Gowanus that we use (it's a little under $45/month each) and it is absolutely lovely. There's a backyard, all the equipment we need ofc, and a break room - much better deal than we were getting at the last place. We meet around 7/7:30 usually, and we can stay as late as we like. We often hang out for a while too after practice, sometimes we like to grab a drink together, and we hang out outside of practice sometimes as well, so expect some invitations to parties/concerts/hangouts here and there, and please don't be afraid to do the same. You aren't just getting a band, but three cool sexy friends as well.

Due to negative experiences with straight men, we'd prefer to keep the band female/queer, but aren't totally closed off - as long as you're respectful!

I think that's everything. I can send you a shitty recording of us playing while I'm getting over a cold if you'd like a rough idea of what we sound like - or you can just come in blindly. If you have any questions or are interested, please please reach out to louisa.zerbo on Instagram! I don't use reddit much, though I'll probably check here over the next few days.

Hi everyone! I run a zine called Finger Food with some friends and for our second issue we're looking to expand outside of our small group. We are taking submissions and ideas of all kinds until August 1st, and if you have any ideas/ways to help or want to be involved please reach out via email at fingerfoodzine@gmail.com, and check out our Substack @ fingerfoodzine (same username for TikTok and Instagram) -- it's been so much fun to put together and we'd love to collaborate with more people, so please reach out!

We especially need help with social media/graphic design and submissions, of course. But despite our lack there, our first issue came out great and we're hoping to get the next one out around September 21st.

I (24F) recently started a band (all women in our 20s) and we are looking for a lead guitarist! Preferably someone in our age range,  female or queer but we’re open to everyone, and hoping to meet once a week right now. Since our members mostly work 9-5 jobs, we typically meet weekday evenings or on weekends, and recently have been meeting in the Lower East Side at Rivington Music Rehearsal Studios, which means we split the cost of the rental (typically about $15 each for two hours of practice). We are going for an indie/garagey riot grrrl mix — I have a lot of original music written; a mix of finished and very unfinished work, all of which is open to editing, and I’m looking for someone who would like to collaborate and take creative liberty in writing lead guitar solos, riffs, etc. We also just want to have fun together, so we’re looking for someone who’d like to hang out as well, maybe get drinks before or after practice. If you’re interested, please dm me at louisa.zerbo on Instagram (I don’t really use reddit) and we can chat!
