Waikato band with international sound requires a new guitarist for recording and live work. Prudence is a pop/rock band, with a unique sound, that will be making inroads into the Waikato/Auckland/Bay of Plenty arena in 2004. The first self-released CD Single managed a significant level of radio airplay recently, while work has already commenced on the debut album. Prudence is having to replace an excellent guitarist who has departed.
We are looking for a team player as well as excellent guitar skills. You will need to be very talented, flexible and prepared to work towards established goals as well as have an ambition to succeed. Preferably you will have had band experience previously and be in the 30-45 age range. You will also need to be dedicated to the bands vision for success in the music industry in New Zealand and overseas. Internet access will also be an advantage.

New Zealand On Air are offering Prudence up to $5000 to cover recording and distribution of Are you old enough after their rejection of the commercial track on the Hit Disks. However, New Zealand On Air want to see significant airplay of the track on airplay first.
This will have huge ramifications for other bands who have sent in commercial quality tracks to New Zealand On Air for their hitdisks and had them rejected. Basically, if Prudence wins and radio airplay guarantees commercial viability of the tracks, then a precedent will be set for other bands to follow.
What can you do? Ring your local radio station and ask them to give Are you old enough from Prudence a spin. Do it often. Request either the Dance Remix or the Trance Club Mix - rock stations would not be interested in playing these tracks.
The following stations have the tracks.
· Channel Z
· Pulzar FM
· Loop
· More FM
· The Edge
· The Breeze
· Classic Hits ZHFM
· 91ZM
· George FM
· Blowhole FM
Note: List does not include radio shows that have the CD Single.
For some of these stations the CD Single would have just arrived. If your local station is not listed, please e-mail us their address and we will send them a copy of the CD Single. (prudence@lycos.co.uk (only the web presence is non kiwi))
Thank you for all your support. With your help other bands and artists that have been unfairly brushed aside will have a leg to stand on. But to do that, Prudence must first win this challenge.

Are you looking for a band to do the songs yourself or wanting to submit to a band to play. If it's the later, Prudence from the Waikato accept submissions from writers under APRA copyright control. I submitted a track and I am very pleased with the results. Check out their website if interested.
Wanted: Rapper for remix of forthcoming Waikato band single to be released later this year/early next year. Looking for someone with the Rebel MC 'street tuff' style. Track is being designed as a stand along single track - so will be a good oppertunity for a good rappist wanting to break into the industry.
Single is being released on our own label but will be picked up by a major label given time.
We are a new band that has spent over a year and a half creating our blend of music. Now that we are looking for gigs, we are trying to put together a list of venues to play at, or at least approach. Any suggestions and contacts of venues in the Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions will be greatly appreciated.
