I'M WITH THE BAND !

withthebandhq is an original appless roleplay based around the lives of the members of ten upcoming bands in los angeles. mobile navigation.

this may be unexpected but i decided to hop back on here & say my piece now that i’ve had time to think.

some people reading this might think it’s just damage control but i know in my heart of hearts that what i’m about to say is genuine!

i jumped to conclusions and popped off over something i hadn’t fully thought through. when somebody linked me to @undrgrndrp i acted upon my initial reaction and it was dumb & irresponsible. there are a lot of things that i understand about the rpc that i didn’t consider at the time. upon reflection, yes, subplot rps are a common thing which i am NOT claiming ownership of and there are definitely enough differences to set undrgrndrp apart from ours. they just weren’t clear to me upon my immediate inspection of their group.

i have no motive for posting this apart from fully just... changing my mind on how i feel about the whole thing. if this was damage control, you guys would know, because it’d only really be expected of me to do that if i wanted to reopen the rp and didn’t wanna look bad or something. our group isn’t reopening, at least for a long time. i just had some time to reflect & genuinely wanted to say sorry to them.

i also made my friends — the former admin team of this group — look bad, messy & trouble-causing by posting a callout signed by ‘the admin team’ when really, it was just me, the initial creator of withtheband that wanted to post something publically. to ash, corrie, bibi & lara, i’m sorry. you did nothing wrong and your continued friendship despite me being an impulsive & dramatic heaux means everything to me but y’all know that <3

i’ve apologized to the undrgrnd admins in private & will be deleting the ‘callout’, i’ve done all i can do. thanks for reading xoxo — jess

HIATUS & REVAMP ANNOUNCEMENT!

so most of our members will know this already, but of course it’s important to mention it here on the main. we’ve decided on taking a hopefully short, yet indefinite hiatus to revamp the rp. we feel it’s important to do so, and hopefully we’re making the right decision. we’re already looking forward to WTB 2.0, but to members past and present who have made this rp so fun for the past two months, thank you so much! hopefully we’ll see you back here after the revamp!

WE LOVE YOU! — JESS, CORRIE, BIBI & ASH 

[withthebandhq]

is there an ooc discord ??

there is! we do encourage members to be a part of it but it’s not mandatory.

[withthebandhq]

Is this a friendly group?

yes, of course! we a family out here! we all get along really well here and would love you to be part of our lil group!

[withthebandhq]

most wanted band spots?

i’m gonna go ahead and say we don’t have any specific bands that we’d like to see filled up quicker than others, as we love all of the bands equally! however, i do think it’s only fair to mention that there are a few bands with only spot taken in them. the muses in those spots could use some company! the bands in question are STREET DILEMMA & VIBES.

[withthebandhq]

Do you accept mumu blogs?

nope, purely because it can be a little confusing & makes activity harder to monitor. sorry about that!

[withthebandhq]

is smut allowed?

yes! we aren’t necessarily a smut-focused rp, but as this is an rp for 18+ muns & muses only, we do allow smut interactions here as long as it’s under a read-more & tagged accordingly.

[withthebandhq]

i want to join but i have an fc in mine that's very underused/unconventional and i'm worried my character will be ignored. will this be a problem or am i just worrying over nothing lol

we actually have a lot of underused and/or lesser-known faceclaims here– e.g. alex turner, van mccann, mark foster (of foster the people), lisa hammond, rose leslie & joshua castille! – who are all really loved and appreciated here, so i’m certain whoever you bring will be more than welcomed in our little rp (as long as they’re not on the banned list). after all, it’s the character that matters, not the faceclaim!

[withthebandhq]

currently, all of our bands except for THE NEW NOW and SHY VIOLETS have open spots, and we also have room for FOUR solo artists! tag lurkers, are you looking for an rp that’s a little different? why not check us out? we’re an appless rp based around the concept of upcoming bands and musicians in LA’s independent music scene.

[withthebandhq]

due to the mun only wanting two muses, SHAY MITCHELL has been re-opened.

KAT MONTGOMERY has decided this music thing isn’t for them. SOUL SURFACE is now looking for a new VOCALIST/GUITARIST/SYNTH PLAYER.

[withthebandhq]

(BRIDGET SATTERLEE, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER) meet ODELIA SIMMONS, the ELECTRIC GUITAR/CO-LEAD VOCALS of the band PANDEMONIUM. the 21 year old is definitely INTUITIVE and COURAGEOUS, but can also be kind of CONCEITED and RECKLESS. i hope she find success with the band. after all, it’s not easy to make it in the music business these days. (SAMANTHA, 19, SHE/HER, EST)

welcome to LA ODELIA SIMMONS, please arrive at the satellite within 24 HOURS to start warming up with PANDEMONIUM. BRIDGET SATTERLEE is now taken.
