Just asking how far you'd go? Rehearsals not gigs, bands tend to be willing to travel a few miles to a gig, but what about bands that are not based near you.
I really want to get into a band but the ones I see on Musolist or Joinmyband are usually 30 miles away. Obviously I would need a car, but what would you consider "too far"? I get home at 6pm in the week except Fridays which is 5pm. It makes for a long night if travelling 30 miles to and from and can be costly on the old juice.
Also, can you recommend any other good websites for finding bands or sources etc. I'm not really keen about going alone to a Jam Night or anything.
Thanks.

Yes, but in London there are approx. 7 bands per square mile - this increases greatly on the northern side of the Thames.

If you're all in the same area everything about being in a band is easier to manage.
And perhaps consider any other little benefits which might appeal, e.g. our drummer travels across London to rehearsal because we have space and he doesn't have to schlep his drums, he can just leave a second kit there, turn up, hit it, and go straight home.
