Are you interested in a chance of a lifetime?
|
|
|
Lipstick Conspiracy, America's "premiere
trans band" and named San Francisco's Best Girl Band 2004 by the SF
Bay Guardian, is looking for a drummer and percussionist as they charge
forward with the new album, and the national tour. This opportunity
provides the chance of a lifetime for anyone interested in becoming
one of "the Fabulous Five."
Interested applicants must be prepared to meet the following criteria: |
|
|
Lipstick Conspiracy is comprised of some of the
finest musicians in the Bay Area, and any new addition must be prepared
to keep up as well as provide innovation where appropriate. Previous
experience in bands, though preferred, is not required. Both electronic
and acoustic drumming will be considered; however, the applicant is
expected to furnish her or his own equipment. Drummers that play additional
instruments and/or sing will be encouraged to explore these directions,
too. |
 |
|
Collaboration has historically driven Lipstick
Conspiracy's music and direction, and any addition must be prepared
to operate in a truly democratic environment. Though this addresses
new collaborations, enthusiasm must be applied to Lipstick Conspiracy's
litany of previous accomplishments (music, image, etc.).
|
Commitment |
| The applicant must be able
to shoulder an appropriate amount of the band's financial responsibilities
to include monthly rehearsal space, insurance costs, marketing
expenses (website hosting, newsletter publishing, promotions,
etc.), and so forth. Lipstick Conspiracy is a partnership complete
with a Tax ID, and is accustomed to treating business appropriately. |
|
 |
|
|
Deliberate practice is a Lipstick Conspiracy mantra.
Any applicant should be prepared to rehearse up to two to three times
a week to include weekend rehearsals. Endurance is also required to
assist in maintaining Lipstick Conspiracy's professional attitude
of NEVER being late, and always delivering when asked. The applicant
must be prepared to provide transportation for her or his own equipment
to local gigs as per the Lipstick Conspiracy model. Transportation
for all is typically secured for out-of-town gigs. |
 |
|
|
Lipstick Conspiracy has managed to not only survive
in the cut-throat San Francisco music scene, but thrive. This can
be attributed to a universal attitude and vision, which the applicant
must be prepared to share. Studio work is currently underway with
more touring on the horizon, and bigger things are being discussed
for the future. Lipstick Conspiracy has never been a stranger to making
waves, nor an outfit to shun an opportunity to make history. |
 |
|
|
Though all of the requirements listed above may
sound daunting, Lipstick Conspiracy's attitude has ALWAYS been consistent
with the spirit of rock and roll. Equal parts flirty and frivolous,
inspiring and irreverent, bombastic and broody, yet always fashionably
fun. The applicant should be prepared to have the time of their life
by joining this band. Because they will. |
 |
|
Interested applicants should send
a reply that describes the following:
- A musical resume, which lists previous band
experience and personal influences.
- Details of musical and performance qualities.
- A description of why becoming a part of
Lipstick Conspiracy is intriguing.
- Some thoughts on personal musical and performance
goals.
|
|
If the applicant has recordings
available, Lipstick Conspiracy encourages her or him to send a CD
or MP3 links of whatever is available. Also, a headshot or photo is
encouraged. Email to request the address ahead of time.
Remember, not all interested parties will necessarily be asked to
audition, but every serious applicant will be acknowledged.
Transgendered and/or queer-identified individuals are strongly encouraged
to apply.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Shawna, Sarafina, Marilyn, and Tori |
