Question

Answer 1

Do a Myspace search for bands or musicians in your area and put an ad and search "musicians" on Craigslist,org. Myspace was actually started as a musicians networking site then just blew up from there :). Good look fellow musician, I play bass.  

Answer 2

the best way to get noticed is to get yourself out there.

start small, by joining a community band, like in your school.

if you have a couple friends who play instruments, get them together

and see if you can play at a local park or auditorium.

By just doing what you do best, some one is bound to see you if you

work hard enough. Put up posters, get a good singer, do things other young musicians aren't.

best of luck
