The following is a 'cut and paste' from word..so it is all over the shop....but it is something i've been wanting to do for a long time...anyone interested, or know of anyone that is? For those that have known me for a long time...YES, i'm still the guitarist for Indignation...this is just a side project ;)

!! DEVIN TOWNSEND !!
!! STRAPPING YOUNG LAD !!
GOT YOUR ATTENTION????

Do you have what it takes to be a…
- Vocalist - Keyboard player
- Bass player - 2nd guitarist

…in an intense Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad tribute band that intends to rip a new asshole in Melbourne!?

Being a HUGE fan is one thing…but having the ability to competently sing or play any of the above instruments is what we’re looking for…

YOU must HAVE:
- your own professional equipment
- musical ability & confidence

YOU must BE:
- genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about this music

YOU must WANT:
- to come off stage knowing that you’ve ear-raped the crowd!

WE already ARE:
- an established GUITARIST and DRUMMER with professional equipment and lots of gigging and recording experience.
- Capable of playing this music exceptionally well!

Essentially…this is an opportunity to play music from Ocean Machine, Infinity, Physicist, Terria, Accelerated Evolution, and every SYL album.

INTERESTED????
Contact: (ME VIA THE FORUMS!)

“…well, it’s just entertainment folks!”

Well.....Adrian aka Flood Of Rain would have done Keys if he wasn't in Sydney ;) And believe me mate...i've already had nearly 30 emails from people asking if/when a gig will happen...shame that the only replies i've received are from people who aren't able to play any of the instruments required! Cheers Mo ;)
