Wannabe?

In February 1994, Heart Management placed an advertisement in "The Stage" trade magazine asking

"WANTED: R.U. 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? R.U. streetwise, outgoing, ambitious and dedicated? Heart Management Ltd are a widely successful music industry management consortium currently forming a choreographed, singing/dancing, all-female pop act for a recording deal. Open audition. Danceworks, 16 Balderton Street. Friday 4 March. 11am-5:30pm. Please bring sheet music or backing cassette"

Thus started the Spice Girls and the most popular Girl Group ever.

I'm sure somewhere out there on Craigslist there was an ad running that went something like this.

"Are you a little bit EMO, a little bit ALT, a little bit Country, a little bit Rock and Roll? No experience necessary, no musical talent required. Contact DFTBA records today!"
