So yeah, obviously we’re all excited aboutRock Band, duh. Are youreallyexcited? Wanna get your hands on it now, before anyone else — and be on national television?
The tender dreams of hilariously ironic rock superstardom that you lovingly cultivated in your living room while you became better than anyone else you know atGuitar Herocan actually be a reality. That is, if you’re made of awesome at rhythm games.
Interested? Hit the jump for a special message from VH1.
Attention, masters of guitar-playing video games! Can you push buttons rhythmically while rocking out? Can you shake your ass while keeping the beat? Are you totally stoked to get your hands onRock Bandbefore anyone else does?
VH1 is casting a four-personRock Bandrock band who just happens to be the GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME. They may playRock Bandinstruments, but they’re the biggest band in the entire world. They’re “Rock BandBand” and they’re bigger than Led Zeppelin, more popular than the Stones, and harder rocking than Sabbath. We need a guitarist, a bass player, a drummer and a singer who can wail. We’re making a five-act mockumentary. If you get the part, you’ll be on VH1, VH1 Classic, and all over the internets. It’s a sweet gig, and you’ll be paid.
We’re looking for people who are incredibly proficient at rock&roll-based video games. But we’re also looking for people with performance chops – improv experience or other comedic skills are a plus. Potential rock stars must be available for several days of shooting in New York City towards the end of September. Actors may also be required to perform two live “gigs” in November.
Ideally, we are looking for actors/gamers/improv artists to fill the following roles:
We are open to ANYONE who has music-based videogame skills AND performance (or singing) chops. Please send a photo of yourself (snapshots okay) and a link to any supporting video evidence of your awesomeness (youtube, myspace, etc) and your contact information, along with a brief paragraph explaining why you’d like to try out for “Rock BandBand” to[email protected]asap (by Sunday, September 9that the very latest).
Please specify which role you’re like to be considered for, or if you don’t fit into a pre-determined category (that’s okay!)
