Blue Jupiter Seeks BASS ASAP   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #140 of 296 |
Blue Jupiter needs a Bass Singer
(our beloved J Lile has been offered a job with a southern gospel
quartet - we wish him well!!)
Requirements:
Low Bb
Full, Rich tones
NO OCTAVE PEDALS
Must be able to combo musically (drums and bass at same time)
Soloing capabilities
Rhythmically Tight
Sense of "Pocket"
Sings in tune
Punchy and natural Syllable usage
Can walk chord changes naturally
Can make up great bass lines
Self motivated
20-28 Years Old
Coordinated enough to step-touch
Relocate to Nashville, TN ASAP

You should be a dedicated, attractive male singer, between 20-28 years
old, willing to relocate to Nashville, TN THIS MONTH! You should like
to sing funk, pop, and rock, be able to carry several leads, and hold
the tempo, key, and groove for an entire show. You need to be on
time, alert, a good driver, and self motivated to learn and tune each
note of every bass line you ever sing. You need to be able to make up
bass lines that are interesting and appropriate. You need to be able
to learn bass lines from recordings, with out having it written out
for you. You must be comfortable talking and teaching young audiences
about performing, singing, and touring. You may not be the best bass
in the world, but you should want it so bad, that you won't sleep for
months until you are.

A little bout us: Blue Jupiter is a nationally touring vocal group.
We use a guitar on some songs, piano, on some during the holidays, and
have been toying around with hiring a drummer (a real one - not a VP)
- so if you are a hard-core a cappella person, this isn't for you
(although 90% of our show is still a cappella). We refuse to do
crappy original music, we are not a comedy group, we do not market
ourselves as a novelty. We are co-writing with some of Nashvilles
finer songwriters, we are self-produced and self-managed. We do take
this seriously. We have 2 albums out, we have a third on the way that
could include YOU! We do pay everyone a salary, you would be paid
an entry-level salary staring in August. It will be enough to live
off of. We have 2 touring schedules - Christmas (Nov-Jan,1) and
non-Christmas (all other months). Off the road, we are funny,
friendly, trust-worthy, humbled by other talent, and appreciate good
music. We like Grand Theft Auto, South Park, The Family Guy, and
Comedy Central. We appreciate the fine cinematic qualities of Silent
Night Deadly Night. We are honest with each other, and offesive at
times.

This is your chance to get out you current group that isn't going
anywhere, or finally join one that is professional! No day jobs!
After a few months, we may offer health benefits, profit sharing, and
stock ownership. This is a great opportunity.

Send me:
A picture (taken in the last month)
A resume or bio
A CD with bass examples of funky lines, jazz changes, and driving rock
stuff, a couple examples of you singing bass and drums at the same
time and some lead examples
A video with a performance sample within the past year.
A reference or two that we can call

Call me if you have questions
