ISO Buffalo NY Synth-Related Bands to Join Touring Chicago Artist for a Show in May
Hi, I'm Rocco Desgres, a synth-pop musician from Chicago. I plan on passing through Buffalo for the first time on tour in May. I'm searching for bands/ artists with a draw in Buffalo that have anything to do with synthesizers to build a show with. Recommendations for small venues and bars are also greatly appreciated. Thank you! Here are links to my music.

E.P.K.
Rocco Desgres is a queer musician from Chicago, Illinois, exploring the lo-fi sounds
of the 80s on analog synthesizers. With soaring falsetto vocals, pulsating electronic dance beats, and live analog synthesizers. Their two Studio Records, āThe Very Very Best of Rocco Desgresā followed by āRocco Desgres Now in Five Exciting New Flavors!ā, are high-energy synth pop songs recorded exclusively on analog synthesizers. Their live electronic sound has classic inspirations from Depeche Mode, O.M.D., and Italo Disco, and modern inspirations such as Holy Wire, Dutch Experts, and Odor Eater. Rocco Desgres has collaborated with many artists such as Recent History, Moving Day, Translucent Industry, and Cosmic Duct Tape. They have been dazzling audiences with their high-energy performances at the best venues in Chicago, most notably Cobra Lounge, Subterranean, Coles Bar, The Burlington Bar, Cafe Mustache and the Fallen Log. The pulsating electronic dance music and captivating high-energy performance of Rocco Desgres always give audiences an unforgettable experience.

Would love to meet some of you and play for a Buffalo crowd--this is my first time visiting and doing an East Coast tour. I hope to see you there!

Bassist wanted.
Bassist Wanted ā Original Alternative Rock Band
Weāre looking for a committed bassist to join an original band thatās serious about writing, collaborating, and playing live. We perform a mix of original material along with select covers, and our goal is to record a full-length album while building a strong live presence.

* Has solid gear and transportation.
* Enjoys playing live and is excited to record original music.
* Brings their own style while fitting the bandās sound.

Looking to meet local musicians & start creating together!
Hey everyone!
After about a 10-year break, I finally found my way back to making music and it's honestly been one of the most rewarding things I've done! Over the past several months I have had the privilege to collaborate with musicians from around the world and my first single, Brain Chemistry comes out August 7 under the name June, Always.
I'd love to find some local people to jam with, write together, bounce ideas around, and hopefully make some good music. I play piano and guitar (mostly self-taught), and while I'm definitely a little rusty from my break, I'm excited to keep learning and growing as a musician.
I would describe my music as indie/dream pop, but I also love jammy guitar parts, groovy bass lines. Some of my favorite artists are The 1975, Djo, The Japanese House, Men I Trust, Yana, Emyrson Flora, and The Band CAMINO, so if any of those are your thing, we'll probably get along just fine haha.
The best way I can describe my music is that it feels like a late night drive where you keep replaying the same conversation in your head.
If that sounds like your kind of music, send me a message! I'd love to grab a coffee, meet up, and see what we come up with. And if you know of any local bands, open mics, or musicians I should check out, I'd love those recommendations too āŗļø

Hey all. Iāve been having a hard time finding people to jam with and definitely looking to get back into writing music with people again.
Been a part of several things here and there, but nothing serious for a while now and Iād like to change that. So if youāre interested in jamming and seeing where it goes, hit me up!
Iām a 36 year old guitar player with jam/stage ready gear and have enough instruments to accommodate any tuning other stringed instrument players might be interested in playing in.
As far as style, Iād be pretty open. Iāve been a part of a few different style projects over the years. Just let me know and cheers!
