i have a question that is hard to google. how does one acquire a band? like i got songs, i got hella songs, and i think that i can sing adequately (i sang in front of my partner and they think that i sound very good :)), i just have no ability to play guitar/bass/drums, let alone at the same time, so where do i find 2-4 people in my area who know how to play instruments and are ideologically compatible with myself??? on top of that, these people would also need to like/enjoy the music that i wanna put out and want to specifically play my songs, which i don't know how big of an ask that is??? any assistance is welcomed.

    Local Facebook groups have worked for me, although I joined as a player in all cases. Then you may develop a network and find people that way if the scene is big enough.

    Starting a band from scratch is a big undertaking. Musicians are flaky as hell. Don't get discouraged too easily.

        Yeah people don't mind if you use a fake name/etc. You can use the platform while keeping it segregated from your real life
