9 Toronto bands you should totally join on Craigslist

by Mohan Fitzgerald

Finding the right musical partner can be difficult; there are just so many factors. Maybe you’ve found someone who’s got the same creative vision as you, but just lives too far away, or maybe isn’t quite committed to making it work. We get it. Whether you knew it or not, Craigslist has an entire section devoted to bringing musicians together. So we’ve gone ahead and done some of the grunt work for you. These are some of the most exciting projects that are happening right now, right here in Toronto. Could you be the next lead synth player for the next big Duran Duran cover band? Just maybe.

Drummer wanted for very specific genre of music

We at AUX know that genres can be hard to nail down. Maybe you’ve really been a “psychedelic stoner doom hard rock sludge metal shit” drummer all along and not really been aware?

Where the F*** are you drummers?

This band is already insulting your punctuality. That’s what Rock n’ Roll is all about. Prejudice.

Man boy looking to branch out

Seems like a pretty good deal. You and your pre-existing all-female band provide nearly every component involved in the music-making process, and in return, you can acquire the services of a 45 year old “man boy” who may or may not be able to sing well! Right on.

Any stoner 30 somethings want to jam?

Well done, but our boy had better be talking strictly acoustic jamming, because if there are any amps involved he seriously missed the much better aphorism: “dubes and tubes”.

She’ll be your Nana…

Wait, hold on a second, is Nana actually a singer in the Korean pop band “After School”? Something is off here. We’re genuinely confused.

Duran Duran cover-band

May not be a great look, seeing as the market for Duran Duran cover bands is already pretty saturated. Really, though, does anyone know what the members of Duran Duran actually look like? Is that a legitimate factor?

Man seeks “Goddess type” female collaborator

See, this is a great option. Not only is this man decidedly not creepy, but he’s also got his own recording studio, so you would actually go to his private residence and… You know what, we actually really don’t feel comfortable making jokes about this one. Sorry.

Man seeking to leave basement

Looking for a music collaborator who just might be willing to leave his basement and who also might, in fact, want you to kill him publicly? Well.

Tenor uke looking to get down and dirty

Do you play banjo? This guy doesn’t. But he has one. And weed. So if you aren’t thrown off by the prospect of venturing into a strangers home under the pretence of “getting down and dirty”, than this might your man.
