Help us find a new singer.

Posted by Steve on Saturday, December 11, 201036 responses so far

I would really appreciate anyone who can help us out by spreading the word on this. Please re-post, link, whatever.

Singer urgently needed.  We are looking for a female singer to join The Last Supper tour.  Unfortunately Beki has decided that she cannot continue to tour with us due to family commitments.  We are absolutely gutted, but determined not to let this set-back get us down.  So we are currently seeking a strong female vocalist who is capable of joining our little family, and of representing the Crass material with the heart and spirt it deserves (particularly the material from Penis Envy).  She must be available for an immediate audition, plus rehearsals in London or Peterborough in January and February, and then for our USA/Canadian tour (3 weeks in March), Australia/NZ tour (3-4 weeks in April & May), possibly Japan or a few others during the summer, and our finale show in London late 2011.  Obviously a clean passport/record will be required for visas etc.   Interested parties should please submit the following to [email protected]: (1) one mp3 track featuring your vocals (2) short bio (3) photo (4) name, address, contact email & phone numbers (5) any links to extra music, info etc that you'd like us to consider.

Thanks

Steve

      God, I loved 45 Grave back in the day. Unfortunately I think we need someone based in the UK (or happy to move here for a few months!) so they can rehearse with the band! Thanks though Darby.

    Would you like to be connected to Stacy, who did that DIRT tour as “Dino”? Also please get in touch about any help I might be able to supply as per stage tech and such. Could be fun!

    I’ve wanted to front a Crass-like punk band even since I went to prison for attacking porn shops and the amerikan military complex back in the early 80s.

    in the months leading up to my imprisonment I penned the lyrics to one of the best punk anthems that came out of the vancouver (canada) punk scene called “Nothing New” for NO EXIT but that was completely ignored when the local scene turned its back on me. anyways, so after languishing with a lot of other tortured women in prison for six and half years. I picked myself up by my bootstraps and emerged to make art films about them. I’ve made several short films about women in prison that have garnered several awards and took me to film festivals throughout europe.

    over the last decade I somehow mellowed-out enough to work in the motion picture industry as a camera woman but my talent as a singer/story teller is still itching to bust lose with future generations of womyn!

    there’s one hitch though… although I have a visa and have never been in legal trouble for 28 years, I doubt the US will allow me in to tour. I just don’t know…? I know Canada and Europe are no problem for me, but the US is going to be an uphill battle… anyone got any ideas…? even a little encouragement will do

    for what it’s worth… I think Bronwen ‘Little Eris’ Davies from Aberdare Wales is an outstanding girl – not just as an amazing versatile singer with feeling – but as a human being – true, real, aware, beautiful soul. I don’t think you’ll find better. best tw x

    Hi this is Jae Monroe…I know I missed out on the audition earlier this month but was wondering if you found someone yet and if not if you’d like to give me another shot. I’ve been practising anyway and am sick to death that I had family issues that got in the way of me getting my plane tix and passort renewed in time. I’d be thrilled to join you guys on stage whenever & wherever. If not having me as your female singer, how about having (A).P.P.L.(E). on some of the shows with ya? We are down & ready to go anywhere, anytime. I love you Steve and want to give a big thanks for all your hard work throughout the years. Tell Allison I said hello and thanks to her as well for her time and interest. It really means alot to me that you guys wanted me down and it’s killing me that I didn’t make it in time. KILLING ME!!!! :) Anyways when ya come to NYC let’s at least get together and blow some second hand smoke at passersby! LOL Peace out, Jae Monroe :)

    Sorry Jae that you couldn’t make it for the auditions, but family comes first. We had a great response and Carol is going to be our new singer.
    I’ll see you at the gig.
