WANTED BASS PLAYERS CALLED JOHN

I am a Mexican conceptual artist continuing a piece I started a few years ago in Birmingham... One day I discovered that 3 of my favourite bass players were called John (Entwistle, Paul Jones and Taylor), so I set myself the task of finding as many as I could and see if there was something that could be pinned down with those two coincidences.

I only found one bass player called John, and I set to work with him. Our collaboration was shown in Birmingham 2 years ago, and it is showing at the museum Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros in Mexico city at the end of this month. Part of the exhibition is a music store inside the museum selling only music by bands with a bass player called John. The title of the piece is CORRESPONDENCE, the band of my collaborator is Duran Duran.

I NEED YOUR COLLABORATION!
If your name is John and you play bass in a band, I’d love to hear your music, and include it in my show, in the shop. Please contact me on [email protected]
If your music were to be selected, I would burn a cd, and sell it at a price we arrange, and send you the money. There is also a possibility to do a podcast wit Noiselab record label’s website, also in Mexico city.
Interested? Contact me ASAP, show opens on the 28th of july!!

'John' was the most popular first name given to male babies between about 1940 and 1970. Law of averages. That might explain it.

Have a lovely project. :)
