Double page spread Draft
STILL NEED ARTICLE NAME!!!!
Inverse exclusively interview hippies on the hill fans and find out about the gigs and how they act on stage. I ask Adam Price, Harry, Jess and Amanda my questions. These fans release cool in formation about the boys to Inverse.
Hippies on the Hill are a popular boy band from Wallasey, Merseyside, who created their band from knowing each other in their secondary school, Mosslands High School. The band has been together for just over three years, this shows that the band have great confidence around each other and know the way each member plays. Hippies on the hill have a manager who arranges gigs from small places such as local youth centres to bigger places such as the Liverpool o2 academy. These lads have a lot of attention and have large audiences at their gigs and plenty of fans. Four of these fans are Adam Price, Harry, jess and Amanda; Inverse has had the opportunity to interview these fans.
I have been to one Hippies on the Hill gig as I had to see at least one performance before I interviewed people about them. I thought the band played very well and put so much effort into every song. Adam has been to see 5 of the boy’s performances, Harry has been to see 6 and Jess and Amanda have been to see 13. I went to watch Hippies play at the Liverpool o2 academy, Adam says “I have been to watch the lads in a few places these include a mosslands gig, the cavern club twice the vale gig twice. Mosslands is an all boy’s high school in Wallasey, Merseyside and the vale gig is a park in Wallasey called Wallasey, and in the summer they hold band events and the Hippies perform there. Harry has been to the same as Adam except he has also seen them perform at the Wirral show. The Wirral show is a summer show that is held every year and the Hippies on the Hill performed there. Amanda and Jess say “I have seen Hippies play at various places the Liverpool o2 academy, the cavern club, a gig in the 27 club and at Weatherhead high school and Mosslands high school, the Cavern Club is a famous club where the Beatles are known for playing”. The girls go to the gigs together as they are all friends with each other.
Inverse were not able to choose there favourite band member because I had only been to one gig but I think all the band are amazing so I don’t think I am able to say who it could be. Adam says “My favourite band member is Brad. He is the singer of the band and I just think the way he sings really draws the audience’s attention into every song. Sean is Harry’s favourite band member because he gets the audience going and he is so amusing to watch, Sean is one of the bass players in the group. Inverse has to agree on that one he really gets the crowd going in every song. Jess says “I like Craig, he is the other guitar player, I just think he is stylish and he looks like a real band member from the way he dresses to the style of his hair. Amanda says that she loves Sean only because she’s good friends with him, but Amanda thinks he is a big part to the band.
When the band was playing I was thinking about if I could tell them to write a song about me I would tell them to sing about friends and life in general. What would you tell them to sing about? Adam says that he would tell them to write about fashion and friends because they mean a lot to him. Harry says “Sport and girls (laughs)”. Jess says” If they were to sing a song about me I would want them to write about my friends and family. They are things that I couldn’t live without. Amanda says “Friends, family, dancing, music and parties, they could chose what to sing about”. If you all could have a choice of a song for the boys to write about what would you tell them to write? Adam says “I would tell them to write about their life from start to now”. Can I ask why? “Because the audience and fans would get into the song because they would want to know what their life has been like. Harry said that they could maybe sing about how they became a band and friends. Jess says “I think they should sing about how their lives have changed since they became a band”. What do you mean by “how their lives have changed”? Jess says “What I mean is with the female attention and how much they are loved”. Amanda said that she thinks a good idea for a song is to sing about their fans. What do you mean by that? “I mean that they could sing about how much they appreciate them and how they have helped them get so far.
I believe that “Hippies on the hill” fans like them so much because they have such loving personalities and show a positive attitude with everything they do which makes an impact on fans. Adam says “I think they have so many fans because they are so down to earth. The “Hippies” always seem to have time for their fans. Also Harry says “They just have loads of fun and don’t seem to care about whether people are going to like their songs or not. I asked jess and Amanda the same questions but of course they know the band much better than anyone else, Jess said that the band appreciates their fans and always try to impress every time they play. Amanda says “Every time they write a song, they write it so every type of audience can enjoy it. So any gender or age can enjoy their songs. “Hippies on the hill” are always full of energy which makes them more enjoyable to watch.”
I think the band is very down to earth and this has a large impact of what their audience think about them. As I have only been to one of “their” gigs, the first impression of them was very important. My first impression was that they enjoyed what they did and drawn people into their songs. Adam says “I couldn’t believe how good they were, I expected them to be ok like but not as good as they were!” Harry said that he thought it was just going to be a laugh, he didn’t realise that when told him about him that he meant a proper band, but the band were much better than I expected. Jess says “My impressions were that they were so confident and the chemistry between them as a band was so good, you wouldn’t have thought that they had only just become a band. Amanda said that she couldn’t believe that Sean was so good and the rest of the band because they were just so good and engaged the audience so well.
Right well that’s all the question finished thank you for participating in this interview.

Music magazine 7
Throughout making my front cover i have made many changes including changes the main cover image and story. I have done this as the picture on my front cover now fits with the style indie better, whereas my image before that made the singer look like he was a soul singer or a rapper, as he is wearing dog tags. My background for my front cover has also changed aswell as the mise en seen fits more with indie rather than a plain grey background.
