UNEXPECT need new violinist[views:8442][posts:10]______________________________________ [Dec 7,2006 10:52am - the_reverend ""] Montreal's rambunctious and truly unique act UNEXPECT – who released their debut album for THE END RECORDS titled ‘In A Flesh Aquarium’ this summer -- have posted the following update on their official website: “Hail to you all! After ten years of enjoyable companionship, we now officially announce that our violinist, le bateleur, will be leaving unexpect for good. We’ll always keep strong ties with him but it seems that extensive touring don’t fit well with his future life plans. We wish him the best and hope he’ll get the most out of life! Thanks Charles… ….so from this moment, we’ll be on the look out for another violinist! We’ll set up some auditions as soon as possible. Candidates should : - absolutely be devoid of any criminal records - have some stage experience - be ready to tour extensively - be musically open minded (obviously) - have a nice and well-groomed moustache - forget about that last statement For those interested, just contact our manager, FIX. His info is below. He’ll fill you in on the procedures… 514-758-3542 fix@unexpect.comThis email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it Cheers!” |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 7,2006 12:39pm - dreadkill ""] i'm really still figuring out the basics, so i wouldn't be of much use right now, but at some point, when i get better, i'd do some recording. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 7,2006 1:28pm - KillerKadoogan ""] sweet deal. how much did you pay for whatever violin you have? It's something I've always wanted to try but I assume it's expensive... |
| __________________________________ [Dec 7,2006 1:39pm - dreadkill ""] i got a violin with a pickup on it. it cost me around $500. you can get really cheap ones if you aren't sure about committing to the instrument, but i hear the cheap ones sound terrible. i've been taking lessons since the summertime, but i haven't had much time to practice lately. |

I'll figure something out. |
