I went for an audition for a band called Shriek. It's an all-girl band playing riffular metallic popular bouncing kind of stuff, like Elastica only more JSBX. I learnt the songs they wanted me to learn, including the backing vocals. I picked up the rudiments of two more as they were played at me on the spot in the audition. I even managed that without the drummer being there, losing out on all sorts of structure cues that guitarists fail to appreciate. I did what they asked of me, and I did it pretty well. They seemed to like me, too. All looked good.

I got a call from the manager midweek; they liked what I did but are not going to carry on any further with me because I am

TOO TALL

Because, this will make the stage line-up too unbalanced and the singer said she felt too small (intimidated?) next to me.

But hey, if they don't want the extra free impact, that's up to them.

Bah, bloody girlies. Probably your nail varnish is the wrong colour, too.

well, this is it, the guitarist/vocalist was not a girly type, told me she was fed up of girly types that didn't have any edge to them, was looking for a non-girly bass player who had a handle on metal. A case of being careful what you ask for, since the reality of such a thing apparently didn't suit.
