Dischordian, the solo project of Split frontman Gareth D’mello, is looking for bands to open for them at their upcoming gig at Blue Frog, Mumbai on January 19. The band released their debut album, The Feni Farm Riot (review here), in April 2011.
Here’s what you need to do, (as the band puts it) to open for them later this month
Record a video of yourself performing one of our songs.
The band also does specify some tips, to help you make the cut
When you upload your video, remember to mention your name and your email ID so we can get in touch with you.
A straight cover is usually not as interesting as a cover with a twist (or even one that’s completely reinvented!). That said, we’re open to anything.
There’s a file size limit of 5 MB – so don’t waste your time with high quality video. A video shot on your phone is good enough, as long as we can see and hear you.
You can do this by yourself or with a friend, or with your whole band.
About the gig – the opening set will be 15 minutes long, you have to carry your own gear, and you need to get there early for a soundcheck.
And we can’t pay you to open for us.
If you live outside Bombay, we cannot, of course, bring you down for the gig. However – if we really like your video, we might have two prizes and save the out-of-town one for when we visit your city.
We will not be bribed by alcohol (including feni).
The competition closes on Jan 14 and the winner will be announced on Jan 15.
Local metalheads Demonic Resurrection did something along the same lines earlier last year, giving local bands a chance to open for them at a Bacardi NH7 Weekender pre-party at B69, Mumbai.
Check out this video of Dischordian performing at Live From The Console last year.
