International Pop Celebrity Seeks Support Acts for U.S. Shows!

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

That’s right! The one and only, internationally reknown Britpop pioneer Jarvis Cocker, formerly of Pulp, is seeking support acts to open for him at select U.S. dates! Sign up at his Jarvspace blog.

Being upside-down can make all the blood rush to your head in an unpleasant way so I’ll keep this quite short: we are playing in North America soon & need support bands for New York (2 shows), San Francisco, Seattle & Vancouver - do you think you could help? Same idea as the Europe shows - you recommend LOCAL bands that would be good for the job (preferably with a link to somewhere I can hear their music) & I’ll do the rest. It worked a treat before - let’s unleash the magic again!

G’day xx Jarvis

Jarvis Cocker Wall Street Journal

p.s. Jarv was in the Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Advisor last week!

p.p.s. If you’re in a band, opening the show may be your only way to get in soon seeing as tickets are selling out fast!
