Columbia musicians band together to form informal musical groups

Most people assume that the creation of a college band is as simple as the nonchalant suggestion to a friend, “Let’s jam.” But considering how many craigslist ads call for musicians (for example: “Bassist wanted for original hard rock power pop band ... no drugs”), it seems a bit romantic to believe that people—especially goal-oriented Columbians—would opt to form bands in such a casual fashion.
