This is the interview i wrote for my double page spread on a featured artist in my music press magazine. I actually interviewed my friends and i chose to not make it a simple question and answer interview but an interview that sounded like a convorsation that you might have with your friends. This is important as it helps you get closer to your demographic by letting them know you understand they way they speak and think.
However, i will not be able to use this entire article because it's too long and i will cut out some of the text.
Interview.
So guys, how did you come about the name bean and the boy? “Basically I call my brother balb and he used to called me beanf [giggles to flynn] and then that turned into bean face which shortened to bean, and flynn is the boy!
I’ve gone to her house for a few band practices and I was banting and I was really loud one time and her brother jack came in and shouted who’s that boy bean?! [laughs hysterically] and instantly in my head I thought boy and the bean but bean and the boy, we think sounds better.
Sorry about the photoshoot bit cold right? It was cold but I liked it, it reminded me of americas next top model.
loser.
wasteman
why you calling me a wasteman
sorry.
Bit of a band mate domestic guys! No we never really have fights.. [flynns phone buzzes with a text] he’s not allowed his phone too many girls text it, it’s the band rule. When has that been the band rule? We only have one band rule! And that’s it.
Another rule is to not be late.. [looks at edith]
I don’t mean to be late! I’m always late I can’t help it.
top 3 favruoite gigs and bands
when I was last at reading I had a really got Saturday cause I saw dizze rascle “who was shit” really?! Yeah but he was after giggs and I like giggs. Yeah but what I mean is dizzle rascle got me dancing and I really enjoyed it. And the libertines play who are my favrouite bands. Yeah they were sick. It was the best gig I’ve evr been to I love them. Bless them they’re so cute.
OH best gig I’ve been to.. jayz at glasto at the beginning there was loads of stuff on the screen, like a 3 minute clip which was everyone who was douting him and the last thing was noel galleger saying jay z shouldn’t headline glasto he was totally doubting him and he came out singing wonderwall and they lyrics were im gonna throw it back to you. It was sick. Yeah I saw that too.
And after the libertines we went to see pendulum and I was on such a high from seeing the libertines it was such a good night.
We both love the strokes it’s our joint faveoutie bands, our band practiecs are mostly us listing to them, I pull out my air guitar an go mental. We get depressed because we’re not as good as them. We were really gutted cause we might have had the chance to see them but we both and a science GCSE.
Would you aspire to play at reading? Yeah I love reading. Yeah but glasto is the big one. I don’t know about edith. Well I’ve never been but it’s huge. Glasto pyrmid stage Saturday night headling. Dominating main stage. We could do a montage like the libertines, but it wouldn’t be the same.
‘who’s the best band member’ ME!, yeah edith agrees.
I’ll kick you out soon ‘’the bean has lost the boy’’ oh s**t I mean the boy has lost the bean. my mistake!
If I were to look in your fridge what would be in it right now? Definitely a bit of lyod grosmans. Errr what’s that? It’s for pasta.
A bit steak
And we always have cheese. We got cheese in mine too but it’s normall dominated by meat in my house
and if you were to cook me one meal in 15 minutes what would it be?
steak and broclii, healty it’s the food of sportsman
And edith?
let me think.. beans on toast with cheese. Flynn would add the pepper.
If you could be one charcter from misfits who would it be and why?
curtis, because I think his is most beniftial OR simon so I could sneak into peoples houses. You freak. To steal money
mine would be natha, he’s immortal and got bant put them together you create bant get killed come back and do it over again. But al your family would die! You’d get more family and friends.
[flynn get’s another text and edith looks at him] shut up
im just self conscious that I never get texts!
If you had a million pounds how would you spend it?
I’d give some charity. Errrm, and buy msyself I nice house in a nice area I’d pick really carefully and a Gibson les paul.
I’d buy a nice house with a big football pitch with flood lights concrete and Astroturf. And there’s a really beautiful fender I want.
Flynn starts tapping out a tune on the table and they break into a freestyle. They seem so relaxed in eachothers company it’s refreshing.
Well guys I think that’s the perfect place to leave it. Thanks for the mini gig
