SERIOUS MUSICIANS WANTED FOR SPECIFIC BAND (My parent's house)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]
I'm starting a very specific-genre band. It involves a lot of screaming and/or showing off and/or the word "core" in the name, so you know I'm a serious musician. INfluences include the Doom-death-doomies, Nat King Cole, and the music from Yo Gabba Gabba. I have lots of experience with music as I just picked up the guitar yesterday. I'm looking for people between the age of 25 and 25.76 years old. NO OLDIES OR YOUG KIDS OUTISD ETHIS REANGE WILL BE CONSIDERED!!

I am in need of a bassist, a drummer, a tambourineist, a flugel horn player, a robot, and a slice of pizza. YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO BEING YOU'RE OWN EQUIPMENT AND IT MUST BE OF PROFESSIONAL QUALITY! ANYONE WHO BRINGS A COMBO AMP OR AN INSTRUMENT THAT COSTS UNDER $600 WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ASKED TO LEAVE, AND I WILL CHARGE YOU MONEY FOR MY TIME!

You must be fully devoted to this band. Even though you don't know me and I don't know you, I will not consider people who are going to half-ass this. You will be expected to give me custody of your children as collateral and proof of your commitment to the band. NO DRAMA OR DRUGS OR EGOS OR PEOPLE BETTER THAN OR WORSE THAN ME!

You will be expected to be under my complete supervision and jurisdiction at all times at a band practice. You must only play what I tell you you can play, exactly when I tell you you can play it or YOUR WASTING MY TIME!

I look forward to reading your 10 page essay, detailing exactly why you deserve to be in my band. NO EGOS OR DRUGS OR CATS OR RAINBOWS OR GOLFERS OR CAB DRIVERS, PLEASE!

Peace
