We are looking for a 'rhythm' guitarist to add sound, stage presence and dynamics to a signed and established band. Late teens/early twenties.
You gotta play good, look good, be hip, sussed and confident. Influences all the way from sixties, pyschedelia, thru nirvana and up to Blur. Cool rock songs with hooks and dirty attitude. Please e-mail solid@quicksilver.net.nz for audition arrangements.

Well i'm in my twenties, I have messy hair and I play the guitar. My greatest influences are Blur and Oasis and I learnt to play Stairway to Heaven at the tender age of fourteen. I can't sing but I understand that computer technology can be used to enhance my voice.
I have a girlfriend called Britney. I hang around hip hop artists and frequent bikini nights at the Sports Bar. I still see my parents but I can say that I am very angry with them as it helps out with my songwriting ability.
I know who Brian May is.
I watch the Osbornes on television and I still find it funny. I have an unlimited collection of Anna Kournikova posters and I know all the best websites.
My stage persona consists of standing there and hoping the other members of the band will back me up when I make a mistake and swearing at the soundman when I can't hear my foldback even though it's perfectly alright I just can't play in key.
i think marijuana should be legalised. I sniff paint and I have a huge disregard for the police except when they're saving a life in a car crash or something.
Am I hired?

And then you'll be made to play bass, bleach your hair (I don't care if it's blond already!) and go out with the lead singer.

Yeah, could be either of those bands. Looking to beef up their sound with additional gat. Hell, if I ws staying in Auckland I'd be keen to play in either of those bands, except that I said heaps of mean things about Rubicon when they trashed the Good Morning set like "real rock stars". They'd probably figure it out and then invite me for an audition and when I got there, they'd torture me by making me listen to their album over and over......I just can't help myself here!
I am totally curious to who this band is. Those influences certainly sound like Pan Am.....

rubicon trashed the 'space' set, damaged some sound and lighting gear, and so tvnz cancelled their 'good morning' appearance.

Rubicon smashing stuff is so ludicrous....they are the most un-punk band since ABBA...I mean there is nothing wrong with pop punk if thats your cuppa....just don't pretend to be this edgy thing you so obviously are not.

Both the contact email addresses were @quicksilver.co.nz. Quicksilver is an internet service provider, so the only connection between the band in this thread and Jester is that they get their internet from the same company. Oooh! Conspiracy!
