Singer Leaves Meet Me in St. Louis

Hey All

To put things out in the open and make everything clear this is the coo.

Toby has decided to leave, his reasons vary the main one being he feels overshadowed by the beard and feels the beard was stealing his thunder.

This of course is true, Tobias's leaving does of course take away the vehicle of the beard (in your best Cedric Bixler improve) "so the beard is now non-operational"

Anyway enough making light of this stumbling Block, what we are faced with now is a situation as a band, first of all we gotta keep going, mainly because we're hard as Camels and we like the music we make far too much to just stop.

So question is now what do we do about all the upcoming shows? well we always try to honour our commitments and we write our music instrumentally anyway so we will do the rest of the shows instrumentally (Drunk guy at bar that does not mean it's a free or all kareoke session) and in the meantime we will be trying out vocalists.

On that note! these are the requirements (we are going to be picky as fuck!!!)
so!!!

1. seems obvious but must be able to sing and come up with melodies etc
2. Despite lazy journalism we aren't an "emo" band so do not want an Adam Lazzara-alike's or anyone who write's really standard vocal lines that are forgettable, we want someone to be able to add another layer to the music not just sing over the top of it. We aren't after another Toby either.
3.You gotta be able to write lyrics met! it's a must! we can't for shit so it's gotta be you.
4.Check ego's at the door, we have low tollerance for that shit.
5.your gonna have to be thick skinned and take alot of critisism, but always in a constructive way, we're not assholes.
6. You Gotta eat with your mouth closed.
7. No racists, biggots, sexists, sexpests, seton's,sexy sexers all those positions have been filled already.
8. You gotta be passionate.
9. you've gotta be able to get into it onstage, move around have a laugh, not take it too seriously but at the same time have some level of charisma(I'm not talking Micheal Caine here but we don't want any knobheads.
10. This is the most important thing, we aren't really up for any mincy, head in the clouds arty dreamer tourchered soul types.

And if your not sure wether some of those really do apply to yourself or not then get in touch anyway.

don't do it by myspace tho we'll lose track get in touch here meetmeinstlouis@gmail.com

We will be touring in Jan with or without a singer with the Amaaaazing Blakfish that will be our last shows for a while as we have spent the best part of three years touring and gigging constantly. when we get a new singer we will start to assemble a new album, we are thinking of going in a post rock Direction.

Are we fuck!
