**SINGER WANTED**

Left Brain is an Established Experimental Prog Metal Band that is seeking hard working, versatile singer!!! We’ve played 70+ shows, recorded 2 albums, won 2 music awards and have a large fan base established. In theory we are looking for a singer/screamer that has a dynamic and powerful singing voice and has articulation when screaming. Singer must be familiar with odd time signatures. Must be hard working in all creative and physical aspects of being apart of a band. We need a leader that takes the initiative. We are looking for a confident singer to front this band and deliver a solid performance in the studio and on stage. Remember, we are looking for a good balance of singing and screaming. Can you bring it?

**We Are an Equal Opportunity Employer - Ladies Don't Be Afraid To Audition**

Left Brain is currently recording and writing a new album. Think of this as a new project. We are not playing any of our older material because we feel it doesn’t represent us as a band today. So our focus is the new material going forward. We are requiring you to be apart of this writing process so we will want you to write “thinking mans” lyrics and melodies to our pre-existing songs. There are no lyrics for this new material so the table is open. This will be a collaborative effort so feedback and input is very imperative. We practice 3 days a week after 7:00PM on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Sunday’s at Bleeding Ear Drum Rehearsal Space. (Indian School and Moon).

Step 1: Contact us through myspace or our e-mail address giving us a brief biography of yourself and let us know you are interested. Send us a glam shot or your social network page if possible. Download the 2 Sample Tracks off our myspace page. If you are having technical issues then let us know and we will give you the URL’s to download the tracks. Sing to the tracks! Use your imagination! PRACTICE!!!

You guys are bad ass!! I'd love to maybe throwdown a guest spot when you do find a full time front man.

Thanks man! There are 4 tracks now up on the site.

I have a Peg Leg (no ordinary peg leg either) and can do cookie monster vocals, when can I try out?

Hmmm... now I need to ask Geoff's question in your other looking for singer thread.

What happened to Tristan???

Tristin lost interest in the band long ago. So with a catalog of excuses he stepped down from the band before we could intervene. It was a good run but we are moving on. So far we have auditioned a hand full of singers and will be auditioning more this Sunday.

I've updated the Ad Listing with more detailed information....

did you guys ever find anyone?

I am a 19 year old transgender, with no vocal equipment, no car and an aluminum arm. I have never been on stage and my last band fired me before our first rehearsal. I don't have a job and I live in a box behind the Weinerschnitzel on San Mateo. I also hate the sound of drums.

I am interested in joining your band, but first I need to know how much you will gaurantee me for each performance. Hit me up pretty quick cause I have a lot of people interested in me right now.

Nice... Lol.

Not yet, we've decided to cover BC-13 songs.

So are you guys playing instrumental??? ... Guess we'll see on Saturday.

We've been doing instrumental shows for months.

Instrumental > Bad vocals

Uh-oh. Maybe you shouldn't come see us, then - I'm the "vocalist" in Sandia Man. I feel strongly, however, that as long as I don't claim to be "singing," I can call myself a "vocalist"

After all, my voice is coming outta the PA.

Congrats on stepping up! It takes a lot of balls to do vocals/transmit sound reminscient of vocals through a PA in public.

My opinion these days is that most of the vocalists that I've always liked aren't actually such great singers. For me what makes a good vocalist is a mixture of authenticity/honesty, ideas, and actual ability.

With that said... I haven't listened to metal much for years, mainly because of the vocalists. They usually sound like they are trying really really hard to fill the role, but don't really know what they are supposed to say.
