Just out of curiosity, do you have any of your songs up online that can be listened too?

Although I don't mind occasionally entertaining small talk, if you really wish to make a barroom chat or whatever, please start another thread.
In the meantime, sorry to be somewhat of a bore with the distraction of the original (and ONLY) subject of this thread > | Quote: | |  | | | FULLTIME, for new Beatle-ish band (with really GREAT! new original music, in many genres, after fulltime working "coverband" phase [just like the early Beatles!]).

| | | Re: Seeking female singer who could be on MTV but can live without it. | Quote: | |  | | | So, did you find anyone yet? | | | | | We have found and tried MANY. Most from Berlin, over-filled with neuroses and/or impractical "artsy" stuff (Berlin is great for frustrated artists > I have played with some world-famous bands, and the stars as well as back-up bands were all "normal" and sane, more in the George Clooney than Loony Tunes direction!). One or two "crazy Americans". Quite a few others married with kids (I don't wish that life on kids, even for a few years!).
Am waiting for a Brazilian finishing her exams in Berlin to come down, and several others I have "put in the wings" for the time being. But no one who strikes me as an Enlightened version of Paul or John (or even Ringo, who turned out nice!). Except me, and I plan to stay a bit on the side, like George! |

Well, I was going to send you a link to a Mexican singer friend but she's quite artsy so that won't work for you.
I don't know why you are against women singers who had kids. There are plenty of artist who have kids, men & women. If they are good, isn't it up to them to work out how to manage their family life?
I've never even met anyone famous, but I don't like to brag.
Good luck & do send us the link to your band. We love discover new (to us) music/artists.

Luckily for me, and future audiences, I do seem to have now found some likely accomplices. Despite YOUR silliness. And disagreement. You see, your ongoing comments have kept this thread visible. As the Vikings said (in old Danish): "There is nothing so bad that it is not good for something".
So, THANK YOU!
b.t.w., the "ad" denotes "female" NOT "girl" singers! I am not that silly ....!

I am sure you will find somebody who wants to be famous and does not mind playing covers and sounding like Beatles.
We were pretty big back home, but I can't remember any of us really wanting to be, it was part of the charm. Cash one gets doing music does not really tell how good the music is, nor does the number of fans, it may say how popular the group wants to be, the biz of it, etc etc. I still like doing music too much to buy into this...pardon my French...crap.  But as you describe it, it is a biz venture. There are people who have talent for this and don't mind using their musical and artistic talent for this. I don't mean to snub you, I wish you a lot of luck. But the ads are a little weird sounding. This is not US, people have different values. The American talent might be big on TV, but I actually do not know anyone who would seriously answer your ad the way you are "hiring". You might think we are silly, we might think you are.
Now. Go do your scales. I will do mine.  uhm....or cook, hahaha, and take care of my kiddo, and watch a chick flick while playing with the strings and trying to pull of some frustrating Minutemen tune. You would seriously hate having somebody like me to work with.
