Nerd Parade wants you
Monday, January 14th, 2008
Of all the albums mentioned on CL’s list of the best Atlanta albums of 2007, Nerd Parade’s A Delicate Bashing is probably the least known. But, as I wrote in CL’s May 9, 2007, issue, it’s a delightful indie-pop affair worth seeking out. And if you listen to the album and like it, then maybe you can join the band.
Earlier today, Nerd Parade sent out a MySpace bulletin announcing that it’s looking for a fifth member. Hipsters need not apply; nerds are more than welcome. Below you’ll find an excerpt from the bulletin; contact the band for more details. For the rest of us non-musicians, there’s the band’s upcoming gig on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Smith’s Olde Bar to look forward to.
Seriously, we are looking for a 5th member.
Us: Well traveled, album in the bag, another in progress, signed, merchandise, videos, the whole deal. Serious about music but never taking ourselves too seriously. We’ve played at every club in town. We tour, we gig local, we hang out as friends.
You: Play guitar, keys, or both, have all your sh*t together, no bad habits, no bad attitude, smart, not a mercenary, not a ball hog, good gear, passable health, not fundamentalist or conservative in any way, don’t look like a piece of trash littering the music scene, can laugh at that, can play your f*cking ass off.
