INTERVIEW
This is an interview by a radio DJ, Jason from B’Z.fm and Elle from a famous all-girl rock band, ‘Milkyway’.
Jason: Hello, I’m Jason on-air for today’s interview with Elle from the famous rock band, ‘Milkyway’ here only on B’Z.fm! Okay, Elle, say ‘hello’ to your fans out there who’s listening right now…
Elle: Hello everyone!
Jason: So, Elle, how do you feel on your debut album success? ‘The Milkyway’, is it?
Elle: Yes it is. Well, I’m definitely happy with the fact that a lot of people are enjoying our songs.
Jason: It’s very rare to have a female rock band here in Malaysia. But, you guys manage to do it! Was it difficult to form a band with all-girl members?
Elle: Oh yeah… It was at first. Me and Jay were the ones who started the band. We both are vocalist and guitarist. Most of our songs were at first only available in acoustic version. But two years later, we found Omy as the drummer and Fly as the one who plays keyboard. One and a half years after that only we found Margerette as our lead guitarist. Then, were ready to make it big!
Jason: Wow, so the band was formed long ago! What kind of obstacles that you have to go through to make it big?
Elle: Well, of course mostly being rejected by a few recording companies. They were prejudice
towards all-girl bands and didn’t think that we’re up to it. They even said that our songs were boring! (Laughs together with Jason).
Jason: Considering the fact that you’re a success now, they must have got it wrong.
Elle: I guess so… (laughs again) However, we don’t gave up just like that and we decided to further with our dreams as we dare to fail and taste success later as we continuously tried to improve our music to make it better. And as the result, SONY found us to be rather talented and have us signed a trial contract of a year and we did so here we are now! Yeah!
Jason: Wow! Fantastically, you’ve made it, right? And even I, if I have to admit, myself am your fan! (Laughs)
Elle: Oh… Thanks… (Laughs too)
Jason: Okay, everything must’ve changed for you guys now since you’re rock stars…
Elle: Oh yeah, definitely… it’s hard to get out of the house and some fans who knew where we lived would swam outside the house and we’re putting more bodyguards now…
Jason: Whoa… that’ll mean less freedom for you guys…
Elle: Yes. Not only of the busy schedule, we also have to even deal with gossips. Gossips just spread around like virus. And people just making up stories about us. It’s the downside of being rock stars. Everybody knew you so have to be extra careful.
Jason: I do agree on that. But never mind them; most of fans would not even care of gossips.
Elle: Hope so… most of the gossips are lies anyway…
Jason: Yes… oh, unfortunately Elle, time is running out for us now. So, before we go, do you have anything to say to your fans?
Elle: Ok. For all of the ‘Milkyway’ fans out there, I’m here representing all of my band members to say a BIG thank you to you guys out there for all of your support and thus, realizing our dream. Don’t forget, if you dream of getting something in life, just simply don’t give up, give out your all and with bless from God and of your hard work, your dream will finally come true. So, good luck in realizing your dream!
Jason: That is very inspiring… Thank you, Elle for coming to our station today and so for you guys out there, coming up next is a song from ‘Milkyway’ entitled ‘Gone’… Enjoy the song! Roger and out…
