This is a group for LGBT rock musicians and singers of all levels who seek to jam, collaborate and create rock based music.  We play rock covers and original rock music. I'm in a rock band and although I enjoy my straight band mates I want to Rock Out with similarly inclined brothers and sisters of the LGBT community. Please be LGBT and a musician or singer in the NYC area. Studio rental costs for a jam session will be split amongst participants after the 7-10-12 jam.

There are so many incredible rock musicians out there, who haven't yet made it "big". It's my intention to bring light to these artists and actively discover new amazing rock acts that have yet to emerge and deserve recognition. Through this group, we can share music that has enriched our lives and attend concerts together. Please share with everyone the artists you love - old and new. We don't have to accept only the music that is forced down our throats by major labels.

This is a group for people who like to sit around and sing the rock and folks songs from the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s with several other treats thrown in. I have sung and played guitar over 50 years, know thousands of songs, play by ear, have played at endless parties where people sing along and have a good time. Also talked my way into a Beatles press conference. Probably best for those who don't need a song book or lyrics - just sit around sing what we remember, listen, have fun and meet like …

This group is for those who enjoys reading rock memoirs / biographies as much as I do. I was inspired to start this group after reading a Rolling Stone article about the 25 greatest rock memoirs of our time. I have never started a group before so suggestions from members are welcomed with open arms! I plan to hold our extremely low-key gatherings at various neighborhood bars in Brooklyn with great music to complement our discussions!

This group is created for listeners of all kinds of 70s, 80s & 90s, Dance, R&B, Funk, Freestyle, Pop, New Wave and Rock music. We meet each other, communicate, dance and have fun at delightful night clubs & bars of NYC.

This is a group for anyone who wants to start an indie/pop/alt rock band. I write some music, sing and play guitar and have a drummer. We are looking for cool, low-key down to earth bassist, keyboardist and a lead guitarist. Musicians who are songwriters and back-up singers is a major plus, but not required. We just want to have dedicated and chill people who are available to practice once or twice a week, record songs, and do some gigs throughout city. Please let me know if you are interes …

Do you love live music, supporting local bands, and socializing in a club environment? This group celebrates an emerging new genre in entertainment: the theatrical concert.

There are amazing musicians who play mostly for tips- and I'm tired of seeing their work go unappreciated. I know that there is an audience who loves all kinds of roots based music- and would welcome the opportunity to be part of a community that connects with artists on a personal level. This group is such an opportunity.

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

Hey, we're moving! Big News for 2013: NYC Bands for Bands is moving to FaceBook! See you there soon! ************************

This is a defunct musicians' group.

This a group for all women and men, who really love live music and want to go to concerts but can't always find someone to go with. Not everyone in the group will like the same music and/or bands, but that's cool. So if a show is coming up that you want to go to but have no friend to join you, post it and I am sure people will join! Be proactive when you post ideas! It's about enjoying the show together and having fun with like minded people, and discover some new bands and music along the way! …
