Has it always been your dream or your dads to star in a music video for Aussie legends and Bluesfest headliners Cold Chisel? If so then you’re in luck!
The band that made Jimmy Barnes famous now wants to give you your five minutes of fame by calling for applications for literally anyone and everyone to appear in the music video for the band’s new single ‘Everybody’.
Young or old, male or female, cool or totally uncool, the band applicants from all walks of life that can show off a particular ‘talent’ or perhaps more likely their ‘non-talent’.
It could be anything from being a Marilyn Monroe or Jimmy Barnes impersonator, from knitting to bad dancing, to body piercings to showing off your tattoos, from cross dressing, to burlesque, to belly dancers, to little princesses, to hipsters that can do a magic trick or juggle, to reading poetry or just rockin out in your own special way.
Basically the only condition on entry is that you’re unique and confident enough that you can perform within a ten minute time frame for the band. Note also that elderly people, identical twins of any age, biological rarities, groups and couples are also encouraged to join in.
To enter you’ll need to email a photo of your head, as wells as explain in 25 words or less what you can do in a ten minute audition piece on stage to [email protected]
The shoot will be held across Tuesday March 27th 2012 in Sydney so you’ll need to be available on that day although if you are selected and can’t travel to Sydney you’ll need to submit a short clip online.
Only successful applicants will be contacted with allocated time and specific venue details. All auditions will be filmed and all participants will be required to sign a release form, otherwise they will not be included in the clip.
The music video comes off the back of the hugely successful ‘Light The Nitro’ tour last year which drew close to 300,000 fans across Australia. The tour was hailed as a huge success for the Aussie legends but it wasn’t without controversy.
At the Townsville concert a punter was ejected from the venue for dancing in the stalls, and Tim Rogers from support band You Am I was forced to defend his band after the local newspaper reviewer said that the band were so bad that “I seriously had to wonder if JB [Jimmy Barnes] was back on the vodka again”.
