Absolute is accepting applications for performing artists to tour with our Think Day presentations during our Fall 2011 tours and our Spring 2012 tours. This is an incredible opportunity for up-and-coming bands that have what it takes to rock out in front of tens of thousands of high school students. Some of the bands that we’ve worked with in years past include: Hollowick (Rides Again), All Left Out, Hundredfold, Kiros, Hello Kelly, The Ocean Buried, and Tonight Tonight (Beauti). This is what we are looking for in a band:
- Message, lyrics, and lifestyle are consistent with Absolute’s positive and school-friendly message. If you sing about and/or promote sex, drugs, and alcohol, this is not your gig. Profanities in your lyrics also won’t get you many points.
- Good sound that appeals fairly broadly to a high school auidence
- Professionalism in image, merchandise, and album production
- Good work ethic and attitude.
If you are interested in applying, please read through this Tour Summary, and then contact JP (Jon Peters) at jp@absolute.org or 906 777 1662. If you are interested in Fall 2011, contact JP immediately.
