I have been moving around with my job / studies for the last 13 years, and rather than drop in and out of bands I have built myself a project studio. Having no band, I took up both the Bass and Drums in addition to playing the guitar and singing. I’m not a virtuoso at drumming / bass playing but know more than enough to get by. I never have to fight with people about style, I have no problem communicating and if I want to start gigging again, well I can take my pick of guitarists out there who are 2 a penny. Net end result, a library of original finished songs on CD.

As far as your predicament goes well, there is nothing to say that you can’t look for or jam with other musicians or even be in more than one band. No need to bin the band you are in until you have something more concrete to move on to !

Best of luck
