[United Musicians and Allied Workers @UMAW_]

The WGA and SAG strike has people wondering what musicians can do to get organized -- and whether or not a musicians' strike is possible. We have before, and we definitely can again! There’s just a lot of work we need to do first. 🧵

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Recommendations? 🙏🏻

Or, musician friends, how did you fill out your lineup? 🧐

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

10 years ago I played my first public show as a drummer (after only 3 months learning/practicing) on a kit. And I sang, too. And it was awesome! 🤘🏻

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

The last few years I haven't been able to play drums much, but my real problem is that I can't play piano and drums at the same time live in my new band.

Please, oh please, be my new indie rock drummer. I have demos and a plan. I just need someone to bring the beats. 🥁🖤

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Still searching for the indie rock drummer of my dreams (because I can't play 3 instruments at once live, and I refuse to play to a backing track).

Chicagoland area, 21+, responsible, etc, rehearsals on the North Side. Slide into my DMs if you are one or know one! 🙏🏻🖤

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Personally, these days I'm probably Veruca Salt, but my music is still right around Radiohead, and this is too accurate. 😂

Tag yourself…which band are you?

Update: piano has been claimed. I'll repost if it falls through.

Take good care of your instruments.

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Do I know anyone - musicians, educators, theater companies, religious groups - interested in a 1935 Wurlitzer baby grand piano (black)? I'm already inheriting a piano, so I can't take it, but it was completely restrung in 1995 and is still in good condition. Free to a good home.

Also, my new band still needs an indie rock drummer so we can play live. Who's got a hook up? Who's looking for a cool project? Help! (I'll give you a pudding.)

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Damnit. The chocolate pudding doesn't expire until Jan 2026, so I can't eat it under the pretext that I have to or it will go bad.

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Obligatory repost. All still true. Now with more urgent need for reproductive rights. Enjoy!

It is Bandcamp Friday.

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

Okay, seriously though, I'm looking for an indie rock drummer and a lead guitar / utility player for the new band. If you are one or know one, please inquire within. 🖤

Chicago or driving distance.
Grown-ups only.
No funny business. 🙃

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

No lie, Lady Your Roof Brings Me Down remains a source of inspiration.

What’s your hype song? 🔥

[Joanna P. @BatSirenMusic]

7 years ago I had tickets to see @museband, but my grandfather died and I had to sell them. I had high expectations after waiting all this time to see them.

Well, expectations met and far exceeded. Jeezy Creezy. They blew my mind tonight + made harmonica sexy. Thanks. I needed that.
