1. Put your music player on random.
2. List the first three bands that play.
3. Tell a story about how you got into this band, or an experience you have had with them or involving their music.
+ Alex Band (formerly of The Calling)
I originally was into The Calling, but they broke up. Then I somehow or another found Alex on myspace. I listened to his music and I was again hooked. I just really like the sound of his voice. And when I see him perform (not in person....yet) I'm completely mesmerized.
+ Fly Upright Kite
I don't remember how I got into them really. I think I went to see Medicated Kisses and they were playing too and I just kind of fell in love with Asad's voice and the fact that Christmas plays violin in the band. But this one time, Jaclyn and I saw them at the Sad Cafe and I was basically eating all of Jaclyn's skittles. We were talking to Asad after the show and there were two skittles left. As I poured them into my hand and popped them into my mouth, Asad reached out to get some. But they were now all gone. So the next time we were going to see them, I bought him a bag of skittles. But then, I ended up not going b/c I was having a really hard time with my depression and wasn't going anywhere. Then when I was supposed to see them again, their guitarist quit or something and they ended up not playing that show.
+ Good Charlotte
Okay, here's a good story. When I was 18, the local radio station was giving away Good Charlotte tickets and a meet&greet. They only had one pair of tickets left and they were going to give them away on the morning show. So I emailed the morning show DJ, Nazzy, and said, We will do anything, even shave our heads, if you give us those tickets. So Nazzy was reading his email and this other dj AJ saw it and was like, You have to get those girls in here. So Nazzy emailed me back and said to be at the studio by six-thirty the next morning. So Jaclyn and I got up at, like, five the next morning and we ended up at the studio by six b/c, at the time, the station was literally two streets over from my house. So we went and we got our heads shaved by Uncle Jerry. But when he tried to use the razor on my head after he'd buzzed off all my hair, he sliced my head open and I bled for, like, two hours. I have a form of eczema on my scalp that you can only get on your scalp and so when he used the razor, my skin just peeled off. Ick. But then we went to the Good Charlotte concert and I had a MADE bandana on and I had this conversation with Billy Martin, guitarist.
ME: We shaved our heads for you.
BILLY: Oh really?
ME: Yeah for tickets and backstage passes. But when they tried to bic it, the dj sliced my head open [removes bandana] See?
BILLY: you shouldn't shave your head anymore.
So, yeah, that's my GC story. haha
