It’s an age-old story: four mates with rock n’ roll dreams tive in a sleepy town where the only entertainment is one multiplex cinema. They form a band so that they can escape it all and head for the bright lights of the city. 2 For girl band Love Bites, making music was ther ticket out of small-town suburbia. And considering how young they were when they got together ~ their early teens - they worked amazingly hard to achieve their dream. While most teenagers were preoccupied with exam hell and chasing boys, the quartet - whose influences include singers and bands like T-Rex, Els and Black Sabbath — had only one mission in mind: to get a record deal 3 The friends got the idea for the band during a school trip to Germany. They started out by rehearsing in garages, deafening their neighbours with the volume of their music! Their frst gigs took place in dingy village hall, in front of family members. They were desperate for a wider audience, but without any contacts in the record industry, the girls had to rely on their ingenuity. They logged onto the internet, saw an advert for a girl band, and rang up. The record company thought they were too young but asked them to send in a demonstration CD anyway. This was quickly followed up with an interview. ‘They thought we had potential, so they offered us a contract’ smiles Nicki, 4 The band’s line-up is as follows: Aimee, 16, plays lead guitar; Nicki, 17, is on rhythm guitar; Dani, 16, plays bass: and Hannah, 15, isthe drummer. And their music? “Punk pop with a slice of rock musi’ is how Nicki describes it. The band are keen to stress that they/te the real deal, not a group of girls hyped up by a cynical record company, a3 often happens these days. ‘We write all our own material, and play our own instruments; Nicki explains. ‘We play tive RUC uM Cr-Le [Lancd music, too. We aren't a put-together band because we've always been friends. We just got bored with hanging around a park so we formed a band. Aimee's been playing guitar since she was nine. Aimee and Dani actually wrote cur frst song in the back of a science class! 5 The band has a strong, marketable look, which they claim js all down to them. Although they want the music to do the talking, the band realise that how they come across isa vital part of the package. ‘Its about the music, but you need an image that the kids can relate to; Nicki explains.‘ like to dress punky; Dani's glamorous. Our clothes suit our different personalities: 6 The girls talk excitedly about how they've taken over a three-storey house in London, which they share with their tour manager. So are there many rock star rows when they're home together? ‘The only arguments we have are about music’ laughs Nicki ‘Aimee and Hannah share the bottom floor and Dani and I share the top: ‘They've got 2 bigger stereo than us, so we have music wars and turn the music up and down; says Dani, with a chuckle. 7 Love Bites are in the midst of a jam-packed schedule. Currently the girs are promoting their new single, so they've got a round of interviews to do with radio and TV ‘companies and other media bodies. When those are finished, there's their debut album to finish off. And as well as all that, they have a school tour awaiting them. 8 So what would these young rockers say to those ageing, mainly male journalists who, confronted with the sight of | © ‘a new female band, argue that women just can't handle | For exercises 1-4 sé pages 18-19 in your Students’ Book. °@ Complete the sentences with the correct form of. these verbs. dig” distr” grab ~ grip itt resemble nish sitike struggle survive 1 The spider ..... struggled... withthe buttery but couldn't keep it prisoner for long, 2. f.global warming continues, some animal species ‘may nat’ 3 The 200 doesn't close until 7 p.m. so there's no need 0 1 4 Dad _- me up onto hs shoulders 50 lcould see inta the bird's nest. 5 Leatherback turtles the sand and lay their eggs there, 6 The naughty monkey suddenly my sandwich and ran off witht 7 Stick insects you can't see them until they move! 8 Eagles have fantastically long claws so they can their prey very tightly. 9 The cat is feeding its kittens so be very quiet and don't it 10 Rangers are afraid the man-eating tiger may again holes in bits of wood so © Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in capitals. 1 Our safari trip to Africa was really eae THRILL 2.
