Not sure what else they'd actually need to form a band, and I really wish this was a joke. Alas, I know its not.

I absolutely love these "Metal Reggae Core Screamo band with originals seeks singer bassist, manager, tambourine, brass section and drummer" type of things. There really needs to be an internet rule that 2 guitar players sitting in their college dorms wanking away cannot call themselves a band.

Great opportunity to join one of the most successful cover bands in the entire tri-state area!
We play corporate and higher end clubs. Must have a working knowledge of a large repertoire.
Must also be very hot looking because the women dig us the most. (Think male stripper who can play an instrument)
Send our management samples. Come, be part of our team!

They also said they need guitar. That means it's just one guitar player sitting in a dorm wanking away and asking everyone to join his "band."

All i'm saying is if you are looking to replace FIVE members, you are no longer 'established'. Maybe you WERE established before your guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboard player, and singer kicked you out of the band because you were a male-stripper douchebag and let you keep the retardo band name you probably came up with....but now it's time to rebuild. Godspeed, male-stripper douchebag!

So what happened, did the entire band quite and the manager is trying to start another up under the same name?
