Here's the band update about the competition:
Hello everybody!
Over the last several months, we've been busy with other things, and it's been a while since we played much in the city. We're working on fixing that, and we've got a couple of gigs lined up for you in the next couple of months.
In the meanwhile, a number of people have shared with us their versions of our songs. We've gotten quite a kick out of watching the YouTube videos posted on our wall or passed along by friends, and from hearing the surprise DISCHORDIAN cover at a random party. Nice to know that our songs are being played even while we're off doing other stuff.
So here's what we want to do: we want to hear more versions of DISCHORDIAN songs from you - and if we really like your version, we'll give you a short opening set at our Blue Frog gig next month.
What you need to do:
1) Record a video of yourself performing one of our songs.
2) Upload the video to our page (Look for the 'new video' button at the end of this note).
Things to remember:
1) When you upload your video, remember to mention your name and your email ID so we can get in touch with you.
2) 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.
3) There's a file size limit of 5MB - 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.
4) You can do this by yourself or with a friend, or with your whole band.
5) 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.
6) And we can't pay you to open for us.
7) 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.
8) We will not be bribed by alcohol. (Including "Feni".)
9) The competition closes on 14th January 2012 and the winner will be announced on 15th January 2012.
