Research and planning: Double page spread story

Here is the article and some questions and answers I will have on my double page spread:

       Index, one of the most fast growing indie bands in the world at the Minute. They started off as three mates, all Manchester lads, doing Manchester pub gigs when they got their big break.They got offered A chance to gig the Manchester Academy and they took the chance and went the one night. There was a full house .  When they finished the gig. The owner of the Manchester academy spoke to them talking about how much he loved what they was doing and thought they had something special, and offered them weekly gig they’re. As there weeks gone the crowds got bigger until  the Academy was sold out every night. Everyone wanted to see “Index.”A big record company watched and admired and at the end of the night they Approached Index and spoke. Later on that night they signed with them and got bigger gigs and  they kept growing and put big


What is the best thing about being in a band?
“Well the best thing is we all get to do something
we love with our best friends”

Where is your favourite place to gig?
“Definitely at the Manchester Academy because
that’s our hometown and where it all began for us”

What are the plans for the future for you?
We are planning a new tour which will be our biggest yet and it will be a world told with city’s like Tokoyo and Stockholm which should be interesting because they are different languages so we don’t know if we will have to learn the language, probably not but yeah, those are our plans.

Does it annoy you that you get little privacy?
“From the press it does sometimes because they chat a load of shit
about us but from the fans no because we love them and they are mint!

Do any of you have any hobies that you do when you are not peforming or working?
”To be honest we all just go to someones house and play fifa or GTA or something and just chill all together cause we are all mates so its good to just relax and have a beer and not think about work, it’s a load of bants.


Where do yopu get inspiration to write your songs?
We just use personal experiences and storys because that way our music means something to us and the fans because its like we are sharing our story with our fans so they are coming on our journey and they are getting to know us through our music so this means a lot to us so thats our inspiration and thats how we write our songs.

Who is your favourite artist?
We really like the proper Indie band like Oasis and we want to really be like them cause they are from Manchester like us so we would really like to ber like them and they are like who we wanna be and we wanna be as big as them so they are our favourite.


And finally, are there any weird memories you’ve had together?
“There was this time when we was touring and a fan which was a dwarf got on the bus
 and we didn’t even stop them and ended up playing strip poker all night. It was top.
