REAL musicians wanted (CL content)

[strozey]

actually laughed out loud at this one

I'm looking for some REAL MUSICIANS in the Santa Barbara area, between the ages of 6-11, for a Big Time music show with full production and Major Recording Industry Studio Contacts. This is going to be HUGE! All musicians must have tour experience, studio/recording experience, pro gear, minimum of 10-12 years experience on their instrument, and parents' permission.

Need: drums, guitar (12-string and double neck), bass (nothing less than 5 strings), and everyone should be comfortable singing at least harmonies. I would prefer you already have your own songs written. I will be singing lead vocals.

The music will be a blend of early Lou Reed/Velvet Underground but with a Jack Johnson/Radiohead vibe.

Serious ONLY!!!!!

obv joke, but I love that he's looking for players w/ 10-12 years of experience, aged 6-11

Are you kidding me?

Oh, wait, that's probably the case. Because, you know how many 6-11 year olds peruse CL for new gigs.

I REALLY hope this is a joke post, but in all likelihood . . .

That poster might have some trouble finding people who have played music while still in the womb.

I am SEVERELY tempted to respond to this claiming to be a 9 year old guitar prodigy with 11 years of experience, willing to play for him.

[UncleFluffy]

6-11 years old, with 10-12 years experience?

I hope it's a joke, else someone's dragging down the average IQ of the human race by far more than their fair share.

I just lost about 14% of my brain mass reading that ad, then lost another 23% from laughing at ElMon's post..

You've not heard anything until you hear a 9 nine year sing Heroin.

Are you sure this is one ad... or is it some weird cyber-fail where lines from about 5 different ads got re-combined into one?

[ElMon]

I get it now..........this guy is on another level entirely.........

All musicians must have tour experience, studio/recording experience, pro gear, minimum of 10-12 years experience on their instrument, and parents' permission.

Surely he's after some kind of musical genius/young prodigy that only could be created by cybernetics or genetic engineering. Not to mention the ability to bend the space/time continuum to allow for 10 years of experience in a life that has only lasted 6-11 Earth Years. Or they would have to be implanted with musical ability in the way that Neo was given fighting skills/knowledge in The Matrix.
Fascinating.

On a side note, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to respond to such adds and therefore get my 'big break' in the Biz with all the perks that go along with that ($$$/large-busted ladies), ONLY to be thwarted by my lack of parental permission. My folks have really held me back........

It's a gag post.
