As the title may or may not suggest based on your personal interpretation I'm looking for other adults who have kids. Basically you have the understanding that sometimes you suddently just have to go and can't play for hours.

A little information on me. If you feel your in a similar situation hit me up here or on the PSN and we can't talk about possibilities etc.

I'm 24 years old (25 this saturday). I work full time Monday thru Friday from 7AM EST to 3:30PM EST. I am going to college via an Online Self-Paced program. I'm married and have a 4 month old daughter ^^.

So as you can see I sometimes have very little free-time. I don't want to limit a band to just having members to fill slots. I'd like to basically find a network of individuals in similar positions that can play together. If there are several people we can form several bands so that we can mix and match as we please to form groups who can play together.

I personally don't care what difficulty people play on although expert is nice :).

I play the drums. I've passed every on disc song on RB1 and have a 9.6m career score with about 35 gold stars. The only songs I can't beat for DLC are songs like blinded by fear and aestetics of hate because I can't do that beat fast enough yet. I can pass most songs on expert guitar unless they are like GGaHT and can beat most stuff on expert bass. Don't even think about asking me to sing if you treasure your ears.

Anyways, if you like the sound of this, post here or message me on the PSN. My PSN is the same as my username here.

I'm in a similar situation, and I've found quite a few folks to play with. We've got a thread going that I badly need to revive, and you'd fit in perfectly. I usually play once the baby's asleep,around 9pm until 12ish, maybe twice a week or so. Obviously I suddenly leave from time to time, though the baby monitor really gets much more quiet later on (don't despair!)

Sounds great, and I wouldn't even have to work to develop a group of people. Feel free to shoot me a friend invite and have any others that might want a drummer to send me one as well!

I'm in a very similar boat. Work during the day, have a wife and 3 kids. I love the game but can only play a few times a week, usually after 8pm eastern when the kids go to sleep. I mainly play expert guitar or bass and have about 200 total songs. Feel free to add me. PSN: habhap

I play for a bit nightly and more on the weekends. typically play pre-bedtime for kid and then after as well (won't sleep unless daddy reads a story). feel free to add me and I have played with habhap several times.
I will pretty much play anything so if you need one instrument filled let me know. from what I have seen the best part about RB2 is you apparently can continue to get fans even if not everyone is on expert, the more players on expert the better; but this makes making a band all the better. I drum about 60% expert, guitar\bass 99% expert and currently vox about 25% expert.

Cool thread, I'm 27 with 3 kids about to be 4! I have my hands full and run my own business which allows me to take breaks when I want to which is nice :) and in case you are wondering, yes all 4 will be on expert by RB10 ;) Then I can retire and become their manager haha. Add me if you would like to jam.

Cool guys I have one kid with one one the way, can't play all the time but play as much as possible. I play Expert Guitar/Bass on almost everything and can play drums on hard if needed on most songs. My wife plays sometimes, she can do vocals anywhere from hard to expert. Add us if you like.

PSN : namgib

150 total songs and willing to get more if requested.

Similar situation here. Work full-time 8a-5p Eastern. I have a one year old. He typically goes to sleep between 7p and 9p, and I get on when I can and play until a little after 11p. Usually it's a couple times a week.

I play for fun only, but here's when I stand on difficulty levels:
Guitar: Hard (except FWD/GGHT) or Expert (on the low-tier songs).
Bass: Similar to above, but slightly more Expert.
Drums: Medium/Hard
Vocals: Medium to Expert

I typically try to challenge myself by playing a little harder instead of playing at my level and getting a ton of points/stars.

I've only got a handful of DLC so far (Oasis and Boston packs plus a few singles). That will expand as soon as I have money available to do so, but I don't know when that will be.

Sometimes my wife may want to play as well. She's on Easy on the instruments and Hard/Expert on vocals.
