BAND GUIDE
The creation of a band is a simple easy process but if your having trouble, this guide will show you step by step:
1. Learn an instrument or practice singing.
2. Make friends with a group of people who can play musical instruments or sing, preferably ( a basic small rock band will probably need: Guitar, Vocals, Trumpet/Keyboard and a drum kit) .
4. Create your own song (or you could do a cover of another band's song)
to create a song:
1. Get a simple melody and beat.
2. Get each instrument playing something to the melody.
3. Play all together, and see if it sounds any good.
4. If not try again.
5. Create lyrics of any kind, (catchy lyrics are very good to use) that go with the
melody.
5. If you think you sound good, take any chance you can get to preform, or you could just record.
6. Continue writing songs, preforming and recoring, and you become...

3. Think of a name that suits your band and everyone agrees on. If nothing suits your band then just think of a name.

INTERVEIWS
Interveiwer: How did you get together?
Leo: Well, everything really started in 2005,
Interveiwer: Go on,
Leo: At that time Ewan and I were the only people in the band that is now, and we were called the "LeadHeads".
Interveiwer: Sure.
Leo: The were like ten people in the band, heaps. I can remember; Mark, Henry, Reece, Faylum, Ewan, and much more.
Interveiwer: Tell me about Mark.
Leo: Well he came from Canada to Australia for about 1 and a half years, and left in 2006 last year. He was in the "LeadHeads" since it was created.
Interviewer: How did you create that name?
Leo: well for some CRAZY reason, Ewan and Mark were debating over the chemical symbol of lead (PB). We wanted something original, so we too "lead" and created the "LeadHeads". Our symbol was infact "PB".
Interviewer: I see. So how did you create "Meltdown", and what happened to the previous members?
Leo: Well for a short period of time, Mark and I were the only ones in the band because all the other guys quit and formed a band called the "LeadTeeth". Shortly after, Ewan joined us again, and it was just Mark, Ewan and I until Mark went back to Canada and for a long time it was jjust Ewan and I. Then, in 2006 we became friends with Alecks and then Fraser, and asked them if they would like to join our band 'cuase we were desperate for members. We wanted a new name so we thought of things like, the "BlueNotes" and "ChoclateThunder" and we finally decided on "Meltdown".
Interveiwer: Well that's all the we've got, Leo thank you for your time.
Leo: Your welcome.
