Solange, court jester of the Knowles Dynasty is creating a new members for her band, Hadley Street Dreams Band.
Solange Knowles is following big sister Beyonce's lead and recruiting a band of unknowns to join her on tour. Beyonce held auditions for a dance troupe to appear in her videos and perform live with her and now Solange is hoping to form her own band the same way.
She will be holding auditions for her Hadley Street Dreams Band in her adopted home of Los Angeles on March 6.
And she's hoping that her new recruits will be able to double up as dancers too.
A spokesman for Knowles says, "The Hadley Street Dreams, a '60s-inspired full band, will perform all live shows with Solange in support of her upcoming album, to be released this August."
Knowles' requirements include two female backing singers, a drummer, guitar player, bass player and two pianists.
Musicians who cannot make it to the March audition are invited to submit a try-out video to Knowles' website.

Let me translate a few things:
"'60s-inspired full band"
The clothing allowance for the band will come from the storage closet of clothes Matthew and Tina Knowles wore during their swinging days in the '60's.
"Musicians who cannot make it to the March audition are invited to submit a try-out video to Knowles' website."
Send her a friend request on Myspace. (They ain't paying for a site for that child.)
Good luck trying to get paid!
With the industry power of the Knowles' World Music Entertainment label, this is an artist's rendering of what Solange's assembled band, Hadley Street Dreams Band will look like:

Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland is further on the decline by continuing to agree to be on magazine covers although they NEVER turn out right.
Kelly Rowland posing for playboy,and getting low balled in the process.
Read here...
Kelly must not remember the Modern Bride magazine fiasco that led her fiance to go running for the hills.
Immediately (I mean immediately) after becoming engaged to Roy Williams in 2005, Kelly agreed to be on the cover of Modern Bride Magazine's next issue.
The issue was released, Roy go bye bye.
In August 2007, Kelly appeared on King Magazine's 'Wet Issue' decked out in baby oil and fish grease mixed with water.
But I will say that the Playboy spread will give her a good venue to show off her two new purchases.
Go 'head on, Kells! You'll figure it out one of these days!
