My Band Profile

My band profile

After doing much research into the type of artist I wish to create I decided to create my first draft of my band profile. Although already attempting to fit in with the genre of my magazine, it is subject to change as I develop my ideas.

Band name: Precious influence
The band name 'Precious influence' I felt was original and quirky, much like some of the band names I've researched from the 'indie' genre. Due to the band being indie rock, the connotations the name makes to a rock band are also relevant, however I feel it may not initially stand out as an indie band. Therefore, I play to do some research to see how my target audience would respond.

Band members names:  Ruby (Lead singer and main face of the band)
                                        Felix
                                        Cole
                                        Jamie (Other band members)
I've chosen to have a band of four but with there being a main singer who also is the most portrayed in the media, allowing the others to be less involved in the media pressures and focus more on the writing of songs and playing music. Ruby has done many photo shoots for the band alone, but also gives credit where due to her fellow band members during interviews and demolishes any ideas suggesting she does most of the work in the band.
The boys in the band are known to be quite shy and reserved, favouring a quiet relaxed life devoted to their music.

Music genre: Indie pop/rock
The band have been chosen to be this genre as this genre to fit in with my style and genre for the magazine. Also, the idea of having one person being the lead singer and the ''face'' of the band, has been used by bands of this genre before. Eg. Florence and the machine

Most recent album names: Revelations (second album)
Their most recent album is their long awaited second album, which includes their new single and also contains bonus tracks. The name 'revelations' could create anticipation for their fans who hope their songs are personalised and reveal something about them they've kept secret.

Other album name(s): Secrets (first album)
The first album was a huge success and the band toured with the track list two years ago. The 30 month gap between album releases has led to huge anticipation for the bands follow up album. The link between album names also shows careful planning whilst implying links to their band name also.

Tour dates: The band are touring in summer 2014
Tickets are already on sale and they will be travelling to arenas such as the O2 academy London, Birmingham LG arena and Nottingham Captial FM arena.
