Article for Double page Spread

Okay, so this is the article that i will be using for my double page spread. Because when i post my finished piece the writing will be small i thought you should enjoy the chance to read it.

How did you get together?

Eve “Well we’ve been friends since school and have always wanted to be a band.”
Sarah “Yeah it first started out as a joke you know. But then we actually thought why not?”
Chrissie “We recorded some songs, made a CD and sent it to a recording company who were working alongside our school and they loved it.”

When did you first think of the name?

They burst out laughing.
Sarah “Well it was kind of by accident really. We were just throwing ideas around.”
Chrissie “And we had the radio going and the song ‘flyaway’ came on and we were all singing along.”
Eve “Then we all stopped and just shouted, “The Flyaways!”

How do you decide on song lyrics?

Chrissy “Well when one of us has an idea they write it up and then we talk about it. It’s informative but at the same time we gossip and just talk.”
Eve “If the lyrics don’t really…flow first time around we go over them.”

Do you have a celebrity crush?

Eve “Umm…probably Kellan Lutz.”
Chrissy “(Laughing) Most defiantly Taylor Lautner.”
At this all the girls laugh.
Sarah “It would have to be Charlie Simpson.”

What’s your ideal date?

Sarah “Maybe a walk on the beach, a picnic would be nice with strawberries.”
Chrissy “Oh God umm…theme park or going to the beach. If we went to the beach I would take y dog, he likes the beach and I’d want to see if he was a dog person.”
Eve “I would love to have a nice dinner and a quiet walk afterwards, just talking and getting to know one another.

Any tours coming up?

Sarah “No, but we are considering doing one after our next album.”
Eve (laughing) “Yeah, we were a little blown away at the response we got from our first album. We thought about it and decided to wait until we have more than just a few songs to sing on tour.”

What did you do before being a band?

Chrissy “Working as a bar maid, you know, serving drinks and everything. It was a good job and I liked it.”
Eve “I used to be waitress at the local cafe. It was tough but it helped me get by.”
Sarah “I had a job at HMV, it was fun and I got to listen to music all the time so I was happy.”

Who comes up with the songs? Is there one person, or do you all write the music?

Eve “We all co write them all, some are written by only one person.”
Sarah “There’s one song on the album, Recent Reminders that Chrissy has written the lyrics to and composed the music.”
Chrissy “The song was about a past relationship that went wrong and when it ended I had…well an epiphany. And I wanted to share it with others. So I sat down one day and just started to write.”

What’s your favourite food?

Eve “Pizza has to be my favourite, cheese pizza.”
Sarah “Umm…Chinese food, defiantly. The shop down the road has the best prawn chow meine.”
Chrissy “It would probably be Italian food for me, I love anything Italian.”

How was the movie premier?

Sarah “Meeting all of those stars was just mind blowing. I couldn’t believe I was actually there, I actually had Chrissy pinch me once or twice.”
Chrissy (laughing) “Yeah I think we were all stunned at where we were but it was great. Breaking Dawn was amazing!”
Eve “It was really weird getting to walk on the red carpet. I mean, you hear about these musicians who get to see these great movies and then we were in their place! It was bizarre!”

How did you make the decision to let your music be used in a new film?

Sarah “Well we were approached by the producers and afterwards we talked about it late into the night, but we all agreed that we would let them.”
Eve “

Did you meet any of the stars?

Chrissy “It was a bit weird meeting your idols. Along with our growing popularity and the fans were actually screaming our names…that was a little scary to say the least.”

Is being famous weird?

Eve “Yes. When you wake up in the morning and we find out we need milk we draw straws to see who’ll go. None of us want to be followed by the paparazzi and fans.”

Do you find the attention annoying?

Chrissy “Most of the time we hardly notice it. But when you have screaming fans running after you in the local Asda, it’s a little scary.”
Sarah “Yes, absolutely.”

Are you moving on to another album?

Sarah “Yes, this will be our second one.”

Towards the end the answers get shorter but that is only becuase these were filled with a lot of information and i had run out of space on my pags to put the article. So i had to down size it slightly.
