I was not sure to post this in the music board or here so whatever.
A wile ago I created a comedy band on mysapace named "The Flipping Fat guys" located here: http://www.myspace.com/hardcorefatness
So far I have two songs "I'm So Emo" and "Yeah Heay". I plan on making a metal song as well as a country song. Anyways thats not what I'm talking about right now. I got a message just recently to book a gig for my "fake" band. Also I don't know for sure if this message was sent to all of the bands on myspace. So here is the message:
booking a gig for The Flipping Fat Guys
Hi there
I thought The Flipping Fat Guys might be interested in playing some shows at clubs like the Avalon in Boston, the Metro and Double Door in Chicago Alvins, Magic Stick and Majestic Theatre in Detroit, Club Vamps and Mickey Finns pub in Toledo.
My name is Amber and I'm part of the team that books bands in these clubs for The Emergenza Festival. We put on shows for 5,000 bands in 150 venues across the U.S. and I'd like to invite your band to take part.
The top bands will get an all expenses paid European Showcase and the opportunity to play the Vans Warped Tour in the US as well as showcases at the South by South West in Austin, 6 weeks free professional recording + songs on nationwide/European compilations and submission of your material to our label and management partners.
You will find all of the information and enrollment form at http://www.emergenza.net/document/book/iscri.asp
E-mail me at [email]Amber@emergenza.net[/email] or just give me a call at 1-888-923-2263 (that's toll free!)
The entire festival is produced in collaboration with some of the top names in the music industry: Ernie Ball, Crate, Ampeg, Sabian, Mapex, Remo, Sennheiser and Regal Tip. The best musicians will be awarded with $1,000,000 in prizes courtesy of these companies.
Hope to see The Flipping Fat Guys on stage soon.

habeeb it
Go for it!
I know where the Avalon is!
But D, it's fake man.
Probably fake. I did lol at the fact that the address was 666 though. Call that number and find out. Worst case scenario is that it's a gay phone sex line or something. :cool:
its probably some scam so borrow a friends, excuss me after this ex-friends phone and then call it so you dont get charged with a huge phone bill (just in case)
Eh. 800 and 888 numbers are [url=http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/tmarkg/tollfree.htm]usually[/url] free.
Yeah I also noticed the 666 in the address. I also believe it's a fake. I could e-mail the person and such to see what she has to say.
