Yeah, bandmix is set up for that. My sense is that the active members are spread really far apart and that it will be the rare occasion that members with similar interests and playing levels would happen to be near eachother.

Your local music shop can be a good resource. Most have bulletin boards you can post things like "guitarist looking for band". Some stores even have programs where you can sign up and be put together with other students to form a band...and taught how to function as a good one. That is actually how I got started.
