Band Together Right Now

We swap stories with Max Tomlinson about starting bands, writing mysteries, and why community keeps both alive. From London’s free shows to San Francisco’s 1977 streets, we map how scenes, jams, and practice shape skill and voice.

• Colleen Hayes series set in 1977 San Francisco
• London music roots and first bass gigs
• Lo‑fi aesthetics and the Trogs’ influence
• Jam structure, curation, and learning by doing
• Song‑first practice tactics and confidence
• Blue Bear network and seed bands
• Rehearsal spaces, logistics, and momentum
• Festival shout‑outs and scene building
• Gear wish list and lighthearted plugs
