Summary: Have you been sitting in your garage playing the intro for "Stairway To Heaven" over and over again all by yourself?

Or maybe you just need a venue to get your accordion playing awesomeness out to the world. Well it's time to get yourself a band! Maybe you already have a name planned out (RoboJesus and the Purple Ponies), but how do you find bandmates who will appreciate your unique mix of urban folk and death metal? Where will you play? Bedazzled uniforms or skin tight spandex? There are many questions that need answers before the Purple Ponies can really rock.
