Curtis Bizelli STILL updating 43 things and growing in the process!!!

MC BIZELLI 5 days ago

Hey, What hannanin? haha!

I just came up wit a great idea for a band name (it wouldn’t be what people would think by the sound of the name, and I’m sharing it CUZ it is my NAME so I KNOW nobody will take it!)

If I start a band wit my dad, His name Matt thus “M”. and my name is Curt thus “C”, and our last name is BIZELLI!
(would be a country/rock/pop band if I say so though – a mixture of all those.)

Right now, I’m in the music industry but doing booking & promotions for other talent!

Blessings,
MC BIZELLI (haha)

start a band 2 weeks ago

Live music is one of my only addictions. I day dream about touring the country in an old van with good friends, playing tons of dives, and making memories to tell my future grandchildren.



start a band : part 8 1 month ago

It makes me happy to see that several people have reached this goal. GO, PEOPLE!! :D

As for me, I am still kind of sad about not having found some band mates yet. It always seems to break apart just because of stupid reasons. One reason is that I don’t know where to get a good rehearsal room, another is that I don’t have enough equipment for playing with others. I do have a guitar amp, for example, but it isn’t THAT loud. If you placed a drumset next to it, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything anymore.

I feel like I have made so many mistakes in this field. All I want to do is play in a band with other people.

No matter when I get money again, I will spend it on something musical that I need. A microphone, a guitar amp, or the repair of my guitar, since there is something that isn’t alright with it …

I will follow the advice and try to find some people through asking. If only I knew who to ask :( ...

This is something I’ve wanted to do for years, but I’ve never met the right people. I have a very fixed idea about how I want my band to be and I need people that share that.

Whilst watching Doll and the Kicks a few days ago, I was inspired to take control.

I’ve decided to really work on writing some songs over the summer and then actively look for bandmates by advertising etc, rather than just waiting around for them to walk into my life. I’m nearly 20, old age is approaching. This has to happen now.

So Far So Good 2 months ago

I’ve finally managed to get a group together who seem committed to the band. There are three definite members, including myself, forming a basic guitar/bass/drums garage-rock trio. We’ve got three covers that we’ve got just about down pat, and we’re writing a bunch of originals – we have a few complete, and several that need arrangements/lyrics.

We may be getting a second guitar player to do some leads, but not sure at this point. The next step will be to hook up some gigs.

Not the first band I’ve been in by a long shot. However, I’d like to start and run a band of my own with a focus on funky music. I’ve listened to a lot of Meters, Parliament, Incognito, Roy Hargrove, Christian McBride and Liquid Soul recently. I’d love to put together 4 sets worth of stuff that will get the crowd up and dancing. Covers would be the go to start with, but after a while, if the band gels, I’d love to release an album or ten.

in the pipeline... 3 months ago

okay, so I’ve actually met a guy who knows a lot about music and dabbles in just about every instrument you can find!

I think he’s The One!!!

No, you idiots, not a love interest, I mean someone to start a band with.

And he’s a songwriter, too! This just gets better and better.

Band in Des Moines 4 months ago

I play guitar, sing and write songs. I’d love to form a band that takes the best of XTC, They Might Be Giants, Lawrence Welk (yes, really!), The Smiths, The Cars, and The Beatles (of course) and puts it all into a great musical group right here in River City (well, no, not River City – Des Moines, rather, but it’s still in Iowa). Anyone interested?
