How to Get Members for a Band?

[KlazKreme]

I want to start a band, but I don't really know where to look for people who might want to join in.

What should I do?

well this is what i did i had asked around some of my friends that knew how to use instruments and they agreed. later on we decided where to meet and where when we would have practice. at first we sounded like crap but now we have been able to make up a few songs

many ways:
1)ask your friends if they know anyone who plays
2)display an ad on your profile of your social networking site if your a member of facebook or whatever
3)post an ad in the paper with number to ring etc
4)post posters with details in shop windows(if allowed)

or if ya can't find anyone...just try join a band rather than start one!

Advertising would probably be your best friend right now.
Try using software to create posters, websites, leaflets etc.
You could post them on walls outside or even just give thme out to people. If you go to school maybe audtion people there, leave notices spread around the school of college campus for a specific time and choose the people whom you like to join.
