If you’ve ever wanted to get your feet wet as they say with an indie label and get school credit and free food and maybe even some free records, then Hydra Head is looking for you. The label, based out of the Los Angeles area is looking for interns. The need is serious but their request approach is tongue-in-cheek as expected from those yahoos:
Well, it’s that time of year again, when our previous interns (who have raised the bar in killing it for the past few months) have moved on to paying gigs recording chart-topping recording artists (seriously, Navon has had production credits on multiple iTunes top 10 sellers at the same time!). So, for the proud women and men who would like to be bossed around for free, here is your chance.
Do you want to intern here at Hydra Head? Do you like doing menial tasks for school credit, free records, and free lunch? If you live in the Los Angeles area and want to see first hand why a career in the music industry is a bad idea, send an email to sugarbear AT hydrahead.com
Let him know why you are interested, when you’re available, what pertinent skills you might have, and why we should pick you.
A beard is not required.
If you want to improve your chances at being chosen, tell them we sent you. Maybe. Ha!
