1 year ago I posted here asking for band members. 1 year later, we are performing our first paid gig
Hi there, I am the OP from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/comments/1nenwm9/looking_to_start_a_pop_punk_band_and_needing/
I ended up finding 2 guitarists and a bassist all from this reddit post! They were all actually really nice despite being total strangers! I filled out our drummer with a mutual friend of mine but I am lucky enough to consider all of these guys good friends now. We ended up forming our band, New Sincerity, and went right away to practicing covers (mainly pop punk/pop rock).
Despite busy adult lives we have managed to consistently meet up and have about ~11 or so songs under our belt, with 2 being originals and some more originals already in the process of being made.
I am posting this because a few people were rooting for us in the comments of the original post and I am really happy to have this band not only made but kept for so long.
We will be performing in Loomis at High Hand Brewery on December 2nd from 6-9 PM. (two 5 song sets with a break in between).

We have even gone as far as to record at a studio with the help of some audio engineering major college students, so a demo for our originals is not too far off from release.
The future looks really bright for this band as long as we continue to be motivated and improve our skills.
Thank you for reading.
