Question

How can I start a band if we have no insturments?

Answer 1

Just get a group of friends, like three or four and just start writing songs.  Then you guys can save up money, and then purchase instruments and learn how to play. It would take a lot of practice but you could so do it.  When there is a will there is a way.

Answer 2

To start a band with no instruments would be hard... but I wonder if any of you know how to play any instrument well enough to be in a band since you have no investments. Hard to learn and practice to be good enough if you don't have any to start with.

Answer 3

First begin writing songs and singing them. Practice the vocals and then your friends or even yourself can buy some instruments and learn how to use them or you can make some songs in the computer.

Answer 4

A lot of good bands started out like you...I would suggest getting together and forming an experimental group first. Have you ever heard of Daft Punk or the Blue Man Group? These groups have discovered unique ways to do music without expensive instruments. That being said, unless you guys have a few dollars for some recording equipment, chances are you won't be heard. Save together, make a fund for gear, ask your parents, sell things on ebay, and get what you need.

And the answerer above also had a good suggestion. It's called A Cappella, and it means a group of singers with no backing music. Perhaps performing original songs in this way at bars would attract the attention of managers who can get you farther.

Answer 5

Start a junk band kinda like the blue man group those are REALLY INTERESTING hope i helped!

Answer 6

Use pipes and plastic buckets like The Blue Man Group. :D

Edit: Above: AHH! Great minds think alike- lol.

Answer 7

the best thing to do is get your band together, and start working get some cash and buy some instruments to get a start,  dont get nothing big at first, drums guitar bass. thats about all you will need at first.  look at local pawn shops for instruments and online to.  and you wont need top notch stuff if your just begining so u can get a begginer guitar and drums if you need.  good luck

Answer 8

Write songs etc, show to freinds and ask if they can make a contribution!

Answer 9

Make an Ocopelo* I don't know how to spell it. One of the best Ocopelo* groups is Four Shadow.

An Ocopelo* group makes all the sounds with their voices. So you have a singer, a bass (low low singing voice), a drum (not too hard to make with mouth), and then maybe another singer.

Answer 10

lol!! the guy below is talking about accapella groups; he just spelled it as incorrectly as humanly possible. these are groups of people who sing without instruments. however you would all have to be excellent singers, as you will BECOME the instruments and every note will be heard (as will every mistake). if you guys cant sing, you have to save up your money for instruments (try ebay) and learn how to play them by taking lessons. i sang accapella in a small group chorus for three years and studied classical voice as well as trained singers for two years, so take it from me: you CAN learn how to sing better, but not everyone can sing really well.
