Mcgiver69 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hey guys, Looks like Ms Pooley had a baby and wants to spend some time with her newborn. Here is an advert of Mr. Corgan having an open audition for bassist and keyboardist. If you think you can do it and you really want to be next to Billy Corgan this is your chance.

deathpanda Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Might record some videos of me playing along to their songs, just for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Shouldn't this be in the 'Bassists Wanted' forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Ouch, I can't imagine it would be a nice environment to work in! By all accounts, he's a right tosser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Given the Pumpkin's history of hiring rather gorgeous ladyfolk for bassplay duties, I imagine 90% of the BC readers can write themselves off of the list even if they do have ambitions towards landing this gig!

Musicman20 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Im a long time fan of the Pumpkins, and if they ever decided they do not want a hot young woman playing bass, ill do it instead. I think I know which option id choose. Im 90% sure the next bassist will be yet another female who looks good in knee length boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i'm going to put my name in the hat for this, i've got a better set of top bollocks than the last three, haha. Still, that little bit of me is saying 'go for it, you never know...' May send my cv in, he may want a 25 year old lad on bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 If her solo stuff doesn't take off you'd think someone like Melissa Auf Der Maur would be a shoe in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Where can one pick up an application form, or is it CV's and covering letter only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 They always say it helps in any job application if you can prove you are a well-rounded individual with extra-curricular interests. Do you think it would help if I mentioned I was the head of my university's Biochemistry Society social committee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
