If being a collective is defined as of, done by, or characteristic of individuals acting in cooperation, then I can't think of a better definition of what our group is all about. Music performance isn't meant for oneself, but rather the sake of others. Music is for sharing; This is our main philosophy. The San Diego Jazz Collective is a varied group of musicians who get together to share musical knowledge and ideas in a Jazz Improvisational setting. Our mutual goal is to inspire and be inspired …

Meet other local fans of Jazz music! These days, we're a small but avid minority. The meetups will be to see and hear quality classic jazz, big bands, and jazz fusion performers. What the meetups will not be is to attend smooth jazz concerts. Sure, there is a place for smooth jazz (elevators?) but we strive to support genuine music that will stand the test of time. Welcome, you found a home here!

(from Craig) Hey everyone- My name is Craig, and I've been playing and recording in the SD/LA area for the last 20 plus years. I've been fortunate to find a space that is large enough to accommodate not only my studio habit and company ( http://procraftmedia.com/ ) but also large enough to put on some clinic/concert/rehearsal/dvdfilming/whateva type events. It's a shame to have a place like this and not see it put to good use, so my friend and fellow drummer Duncan Moore and I thought it woul …

Do you love to jam with other musicians? This group meets once a month (every second Tuesday of the month at 10pm) at a club in Santa Monica. Cheep beer and a really great place to network with other musicians, for creative projects, or just hanging out. We will decide on a "set" ahead of time and everyone will get a chance to play along and will solo if desired. This jam night is open to all instrumentalists and all vocalists. So that everyone gets stage time we ask that musicians sign up in g …

We all know the best way to get better at playing guitar is to play with other guitarists. But finding other musicians to play with is, well... hard, especially if you aren't currently enrolled at a music school. So what if there was a big group - a huge group - of guitarists at various levels playing different kinds of music that go together on a fairly regular basis to jam and help each other out? That's what I want this group to be - a FREE of charge guitarists-helping-other-guitarists co …

The 23b Shop is a (highly) mixed industrial hacker space. We work on a large range of projects including automotive, motorcycle, 4x4, guns and reloading, computers and networking, electronics and microprocessor projects, metal casting, machining, fabrication of all kinds, welding, leatherwork, jewelry, and knifemaking. If you are used to living in your own greasy unilluminated cave, this place is a VERITABLE WONDERLAND of creature comforts -- the treehouse you wish you could have built as a chi …

Do you like Metal? Are you amazed by the vast amounts of Metal sub-genres out there? Do you like to go to shows? Do you wish you could talk to people who enjoy fist thrusting, head banging, and letting those devil's horns fly just as much as you do? Then you've found the meetup for you! Concerts big and small, local bands, exploration of all that metal has to offer, listening parties, discussions, and beyond. Oh, and probably a few drinks here and there.

Our aim is simple - to meet up with like-minded talent and fans, and showcase the finest brand spanking, neo-burlesque, old skool Ghost/Horror show for a decidedly new skool audience. Always on the look-out for Go-go dancers, crazed gorillas, mad magicians, strippers, comics, film-makers and ghoulish mc's to perform live on stage. We held a 3-day, star filled BOOBS & BLOOD Film and Burlesque Festival in Sept. of 2010 at the NEW BEVERLY CINEMA, Premiered the outrageous "NUDE NUNS WITH BIG GUNS" a …

Este grupo es para conocer y relacionarse con otros musicos para tocar Rock en Espanol, particularmente las bandas que aparecieron a finales de los 80's, como Soda Stereo, Caifames, Miguel Mateos, etc.  Este grupo no es para gente que no sean musicos, se debe tocar un instrumento para ser miembro.  Puede haber diferentes niveles de habilidad y esta bien.  La idea es tener este sitio por un tiempo, relacionarse y despues cerrar el sitio.  Ojala que algunos proyectos surjan como resultado, dependi …
