Looking for a ‘Mel’
Like most musicians, we love Flight of the Conchords. It's a great show, and if you're not watching it you're doing yourself a disservice. That is, assuming you have a sense of humor.
But we have a problem with the show. As unsuccessful as the Conchords are, they have Mel, their number one superfan. Beat Concrete is marginally more successful than them, yet we don't have a Mel. This makes us sad. 75% Mel-ancholy, one could say.
Flight of the Conchords' ever-so-dreamy Mel
All that is to preface the fact that we are opening a contest to give our fans (or is it fan?) the chance to become the official Beat Concrete Mel. What could be better? (Don't answer that question!)
To enter, all you have to do is become a Beat Concrete fan on Facebook (if that link doesn't work, just search for 'beat concrete' on Facebook), friend us on MySpace, or just leave a comment on this website or drop us a line. Then tell us why you think you're the perfect Mel for us.
- Rules and Restrictions: Contest not open to actual band members or members of their families. Sorry, mom. Because we believe in equality, both men and women can apply for the position. Contest ends when we feel we've found the perfect Mel.
PS: Have to give a shout out to Kristen Schaal, the actress who plays Mel on FotC. We're big fans. So you can say that we're kind of Mels for Mel herself.
PPS: Still trying to find a good name for the contest. Early ideas are 'Mel Search' and 'Mel-ancholy Baby'. If you have a better idea, leave a comment!

Ooo! Ooo! Can I be Mel?
I would be the perfect Mel as I always get what I want. I also have a hand painted Beat Concrete t-shirt and the keys to your apartment.

Dear ‘Beki Li’ (if that is your real name),
Thank you for your application. However, please read the rules above that clearly state, “contest not open to actual band members.” While your stalker-ish personality is a big plus you are not eligible.

I am totally your fan, but before I can be your superfan, I will need to hear your music. Send MP3s.
PS: I have red hair.

Dear Ms. McKenna,
If you check your MySpace account you’ll see an invite that will set you up with tracks through the MySpace player. But because you’re special, check your email as well.
I would love to prioritize people with red hair but our darn non-discrimination policy gets in the way again. Gingers rule! Oops, I don’t know how that slipped out. My bad.

I’ll totally do it.ONLY if you promise to ride your bicycle while wearing a helmet covered in a curly red wig.

Does it count if I have curly red hair UNDER my bike helmet?
