Solo Artists: Emily Haines Wants You To Open for Her
Singer/Songwriters stop talking about yourself and listen up.
Emily Haines of Metric has booked a number of shows for the Spring. These are with the Soft Skeleton (her backing band) to support her solo debut Knives Don't Got Yo Back, Bitch! However, she forgot to book an opening slot, because she thought it would be more fun to screen a bunch of budding, unknown artists.
If you are ready to take your show on the road in front of likely sold out smaller club venues here's what you do... you read this:
Call for solo-artist submissions!
Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton are looking for inspired solo artists to open dates on her upcoming North American tour. If you think you've got what it takes (and have listened to Emily's new record Knives Don't Have Your Back and draw inspiration from artists like Elliot Smith, John Lennon, etc.) send us your contact info and
myspace/website links to: softskeleton@lastgangrecords.com.
Submissions deadline is November 7, 2006.
