Wanted: Female Bassist for Love
Female musicians searching for their dream job need look no further.
Courtney Love has placed a full page advertisement in Los Angeles' alternative weekly paper L.A. Weekly and New York City's The Village Voice, seeking one hell-raising female bassist or guitarist to rip it up onstage as a member of her new touring band.
The rocker-actress' ad reads: "Women required for International Rock Revolution...Join Courtney Love's touring band and get famous, see the world."
Love then lists other requirements, as well as her group's influences.
"Must play bass or guitar (really play), and look like a Goddess," the ad goes on. "We like Emily the Strange, Lolita Goth, Patty Schemel's drumming, Nuggets and 'Performance' the Movie. We love Flea but don't want you to play like him."
In fact, the most important requirement of all for the ex-Hole performer?"NO BOYS."
Love also left an address to send audition videotapes (P.O. Box C238, New York, NY 10011), as well as a phone number: 212-802-7269, which cues an answering machine message with a greeting from Love saying: "Hey, leave us your info, and you better be able to play" followed by a Beep.
(As of press time, the mailbox is already full, so you better get those tapes in fast).
The 38-year-old outspoken singer, whose last album was Hole's 1998's swan song Celebrity Skin, is looking to revive her music career these days after finally reaching a settlement in her legal woes with label giant Universal Music Group last September.
The settlement ended more than two years of legal wrangling with the conglomerate and allowed her to break free from her contract, which she claimed enslaved artists and cheated them out of royalties.
The deal also cleared the way for Universal to issue a best-of Nirvana compilation CD last November, which featured the never-released track "You Know You're Right," as well as schedule the release of a long-awaited Heart-Shaped box set due out sometime in 2004. (The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is the executor of his estate.)
The ever-volatile performer subsequently changed management firms and signed with the U.K.-based label Poptones/Telstar.
She's now in talks with several record companies, including EMI, V2 and Sanctuary, for a U.S. label deal, while she puts the finishing touches on her long-awaited new album, America's Sweetheart, in Paris with the help of boyfriend-producer Jim Barber.
Singer-songwriter Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes fame, who wrote hit tunes for Pink and Christina Aguilera, reportedly is credited as a cowriter on several tracks with Love, taking over for Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan, who did much of the grunt work helping Love write her previous albums with Hole.Love plans to try out the new material this summer with gigs lined up at Great Britain's Reading and Leeds festivals in August. She's also scheduled additional dates in Europe, as well as a full-blown U.S. tour to accompany America's Sweetheart's release, which is set for the fall.
