(Starpulse) Silly Just like how James Bond's cars had ejector seats, a British band's record contract has an escape clause that would allow the drummer to quit the band if he lands the role of James Bond   (starpulse.com) divider line 9

well, it is necessary once in a while.

Given how much shiat the music industry subjects artists and the public to, I support or endorse any efforts to subject them to bizarro stuff like this.

I guess the question is whether or not it means cast as 007 in the primary major motion pictures or not. Does it count if he plays Bond in a local, unauthorized production? Might be a smarter clause than you might think

Oh, and who the hell are these guys again?

Once again, modern Brit rockers prove that they're better as circus acts than musicians... Yay....?

Does it count if he plays Goldeneye on N64?

Didn't Spinal Tap lose one of their drummers that way?

Could have been one of the 14 unexplained deaths.

I follow new music/work in a record store, and have never heard of them - I'm guessing this is perhaps a publicity stunt...

BaronvosAsshat, Danduran

They are a kind of a bland brit-pop band. They only sell records to teenagers and the Japanese. Not worth exporting to other countries as they have their own banal crap. Definitely Promo.

I had that clause in my band as well, but I didn't get the role. We'd still be playing if the bass player didn't quit. He didn't get the role either, he's just a douche.
