DESTRUCTOR Offers Chance For Fan To Play Bass At Cleveland Show
Cleveland, Ohio thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTOR and Auburn Records are offering one lucky fan the opportunity of a lifetime and the ultimate fan experience.
One winner will be chosen to play bass live on stage with DESTRUCTOR for the band's entire set on May 6 at Peabody's Concert Club in Cleveland, Ohio supporting Germany's thrash metal legends DESTRUCTION. HEATHEN and WARBEAST are also on the bill. The performance will be filmed and recorded.
DESTRUCTOR bass player Jamie Boulder has a previous out-of-town commitment with his band MIDNIGHT on the same night and will not be able to perform.
To enter, send a video or YouTube link of yourself playing bass to destructorbass@aol.com. Include your name, address, phone number and reason why you want to play bass with DESTRUCTOR. All entries must be received no later than April 15, 2011.
"This band and my label have always been about the fans first and foremost," says Auburn Records president and band manager Bill Peters. "We've taken a negative situation and made it into a positive. We did not want to cancel this show due to the scheduling conflict so we thought we'd take a chance and try something a little out of the ordinary. Rather than simply find a fill-in bassist, we decided to make this a very special and memorable night for one of our fans.
"Some bands have offered fans the opportunity to play one song live on stage with them. We've taken it to a whole new level by giving someone the chance to play an actual entire set with the band!
"We're not looking for the most technical or experienced bass player necessarily. More importantly, we want to give this opportunity to someone who has a love and passion for DESTRUCTOR and is a genuine fan. The chance to perform live with DESTRUCTOR in front of a packed Cleveland crowd, plus share the stage with one of the best European thrash metal bands of all time, is a dream come true for any true underground metal fan and musician."
