Saw this on Victoria Craiglist:



Hi.

If you are:
- A drummer with your own gear WHO CAN PLAY.
- A bassist, own gear as well. Again.. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY.
- Actually interested in taking music OUT OF your basement/parent's house etc..
- Interested in creating (from scratch, since none exists) an Alternative.. NOT emo.. music scene in Victoria
- Interested in touring in the near future - I have connections in other cities.
- NOT a little bitch.
- NOT going to waste my time.
- Someone who's influences include early-90's "grunge", punk or alternative (NOT HINDER-THEORY-OF-A-DEAD-NICKLE-CREED-3DAYSRETARDED-FINGERSCHMECH).
- Angry at the world in general.
- Not completely broke ass, but enough to say "I'm a starving musician".
- Able to comfortably say "Hey, I am a musician" and keep a straight face.
- Not planning on riding my already established coat tails and discrediting my years of hard work and networking.
- Genuine and straight-forward.

Then you should probably get ahold of me NOW.

I am in the process of talking to people and booking shows and making a name for myself in my recently newfound city.

Again, don't fucking waste my time. I'm not interested in "well, I feel like playing covers here and there". I AM A MUSICIAN, not a tourist whore $3000 per gig cover band.

Baby boomers and has-been's need not apply. You should have the number '2' as the first digit of your 2 digit age. MOTHERS: Your 2 year old may be cute.. but unless you want him drunk and strung out at a rock show, it's probably a good idea to look elsewhere to raise your "cute child star". - Wed, 4 Feb 2009 4:32pm Edited: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 4:33pm

You need help Grimlord. Where do you see anyone suggest that it is you who placed that ridiculous ad?. Go get help. NOW. I mean it Graeme. No wonder you argue so much in the music "seen (hahahaha)" message boards. - Sat, 7 Feb 2009 11:21am Edited: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 11:23am

After reading this ad a couple of times it hit me. This is Jeff from The Perish. He's finally taken all the bitching about his bands sound to heart and canned them. Now he's looking for replacements. It totally sounds like him.

"I sing and play the guitar ,have been since I can remember"

This is such a classic live vic phrase. It screams the level of intelligence held by its author. - Sun, 8 Feb 2009 9:29am
