I’m willing to bet that not many bands, or their agents, have a defense contract specialist on staff.  That’s too bad since the US Army’s looking for a band to perform at its bases in Afghanistan and Kuwait and they’re soliciting proposals.  From Wired’s Danger Room:

First, a summary of what the Army is seeking:

Professional
Celebrity Rock Music Band, group not to exceed seven people for tour of
FOB’s [forward operating bases] in Kuwait and Afghanistan for February
4-13 2008. The band should be an active rock band, with a music genre
consisting of Southern Rock, Pop Rock, Post-Grunge and Hard Rock. At
least one member of the band should be recognizable as a professional
celebrity. Protective military equipment, such as kevlar, body armour,
eye and ear protection will be provided when the group is travelling on
military rotary or fixed wing aircraft.

Good luck, rockers.   And remember:

Any
criminal conduct, unexcused tardiness or absence which prevents timely
starting of the performance(s) required hereunder, indecency or
obscenity, drunkenness, damage to Government property, failure to
discharge indebtedness to the Government, influence of narcotics or
hallucinatory drugs, threatening breach of national security, violation
of the rules and regulations of the Host Nation, Government or TFF MWR
are grounds for termination of this contract. 

Look’s like Nelson has a revival gig in their future if they want it.
