Geneva musicians jam or get together

Hi folks,


It's a while I'm a member of the Geneva Musicians group and some time that I've seen people posting that they play an instrument and would like to meet other people who play for jamming, learning, sharing ideas, etc.


But, I can't say that any of those requests have been answered, except of course if they were in private. So, it seems to me that a nice assembly of musicians is in order, whether only for a drink to discuss what we play, what style, etc, hopefully allowing some people to make contacts, form a band or whatever... and if there is enough interest already we could even consider  a full on jam session one evening in the near future.


So, let's see who's interested in this idea. Please share your thoughts, if this idea would be great, (or totally crap)... or any other spontaneous brainstorming ideas related to musicians glocals and geneva (like maybe we should write a glocals theme song).

Hi Dima, 


Well since you are the first person to reply in 2 months since i posted that it wont' be much of a jam session. But maybe ppl thought i was a freak and are just waiting to see if anyone else dares join up!!

Hi folks,


i'll be organising a little party in the month of june for all the musicians i know here in geneva. this is most definitely an open party and the more the merrier. i'd like to create a friendly network of people so that if anyone is working on a project or has just written a song and needs a drummer, singer, guitarist, bass player or whatever s/he can take out their phone and call a friend! i may even make it a name tag party, but with instruments on the tags instead of names! i will post the details of this party within the next week here on glocals - just in the middle of exams right now!

Hi Dave,


Sorry... I didn't see your post before!  Embarassed


It is a great idea to organise a jam session! Unfortunately I can't be a big help as I'm don't really know any places in Geneva where we could do it. BUT, I'll defenitly join the jam session (taking my bass guitar), and help with any other thing I can do.


Manics' idea (above) sounds great!


Cheers,



Vanessa

Hey cool, looks like there's some interest here after all. I must confess I'd not seen any but the very first post many months back. Embarassed


So Manics, I think your idea is great, to meet together and such before we organize a jam session. Please count me in for September. Probably a private message to those on the this thread would be the best... it's easy to miss seeing what's happening on the forum.


Cheers,
Dave.

> The where: Who knows about a rehearsal room in GVA? Living in madrid you could rent a sound proof space either with or without instruments to play music. Is there such a place in GVA to jam?


I was wondering around the music shops in Geneva today and had a chat with one of guys there. Apartently there's NO place in Geneva where you can rent a rehearsal space for an hour. What exists are the rooms in the AMR (for AMR students and ateliers) and private spaces shared by several groups... looks like no luck on that front. For someone who was willing there's probably a lucrative buisness to get into. ;-)

Hello,


There was a place where you could rent rehearsal rooms :

But they are renovating at the moment.

Hello I'm Daniel.

I play the guitar and I would actually try to put something up to cover or recreate the funky rock sound of rhcp.
Else i'm up to any cover band or try to create our own music.

Im really open and space a lot from rock to funky, from metal to country, from blues to folk.


To list some of my favourite band: RHCP, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Crash test Dummies, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, KISS, Talking Heads, and I could go on forever.
