M83‘s last album was 2011′s excellent Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. They’re planning to release a follow-up this year, and have already scheduled a slate of tour dates. Today, the band announced they’re looking to recruit a female singer-keyboardist for their upcoming tour. (Morgan Kibby, who most recently filled that role, is no longer with the band.) Check out the details here.
The criteria: You must be able to rehearse with the band in Los Angeles in March; you must be free to travel and work from April to December 2016; you must have a passport valid for the next two years; you must not have a criminal history that would keep you from traveling between countries. Applicants will have to provide videos of their singing and keyboard playing.
As Anthony Gonzalez writes in a note: “Back in 2011 I opened up the search for a musician to join the M83 tour. That turned out to be Jordan Lawlor who played with us all over the world and is still in the band!”
Which means the next big rock star could be… you?
