Count Bassy Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) I was due an audition tonight but it was cancelled as their drummer couldn't make it. Not the end of the world, but they're auditioning someone else next week, so not only have I got to be good enough, the one they audition next week (now before me) has got to be not good enough! One of those things, and nothing can be done. Just felt the need to share my frustration as it sounds like a good gig.

JTUK Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I hope the drummer has a decent reason for crying off...as this appears to have been arranged and then someone decides they can't do it..?? Not a good start on their behalf....would be my thinking, especially if no good excuse was offerred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 They should really audition both you and the other guy next week to be fair unless they are on a really tight time schedule. I've done at least 2 auditions where me and the guy either before or after me nodded to each other as we changed over in the queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I had an audition a few months ago for a covers band. The feedback I got that was between me and the other bassist (who was after me), I was the better player and added to the songs well. But they chose him as he was 'ok' and does some backing vocals .

In case people are wondering what Basic is on about I originally put 'Postboned' in the title, which isn't actually a word of course.
