I just wanted to write this from Lupe's POV. How is everyone liking Dirty Work? I think I'm gonna have to get anyother one. Theres no State Of The Art and some other bonus track. :/ Suckish man.. It's awesome though, I miss their punkyer stuff like So Wrong It's Right tbh... Meh. I still like their newer stuff.
Lupe POV;
We got into the venue and they'd already started to sound check the other bands, so we got all our stuff out the van and sat on the floor with it crowding around us.
"Yo! Fall For Deceit! Get your asses up here!" The sound guy Mike said. We're pretty good friends from when I'd played here before.
As the band set up behind me I pulled up a stool and positioned myself with my guitar by the microphone.
"La, la la laaa" I sang, plucking at the strings to get into tune.
"Like fire and flames,
You took me down;
And, now
There's nothing left.
Woah! You and me,
Were never meant to be,
But I can't help it,
Woah! Nothings left!
To hold onto!
So, let's hold onto each other,
Tonight" I sang, the band had started to play along behind me. I sung random crap that came into my head during sound checks. They were usually rubbish and fool-proof.
"Okay, you're good to go!" Mike called from behind the sound board, giving me the thumbs up.
I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ears and grabbed my guitar and hopped down from the stool.
"Lupe! You're not ready! C'mon!" Natasha pulled me backstage and pulled all my clothes out of my bag, throwing them at me.
I quickly dressed; red tartan skirt, white shorts to go underneath (skirts are easy access…) tights, and black top and a long button up dress up skirt that I wore buttoned up in one button half way up. I pulled my hair out of its loose ponytail and brushed it through and re-lined my eyes with eyeliner from were it'd smudged and faded throughout the day.
"I'm done!" I called, spraying hairspray over my hair to keep it in place.
"Good!" Said Lizzie, she was our drummer. And she'd finished like me, "Their just letting everyone in, you'd never guess who I saw…" I walked away before she'd finished, getting myself a drink.
Ah, I found my water in my bag. That thing is amazing, whenever I need something. Bam! I find it in there.
I stood by the side of the small stage watching the other bands; I was just sipping my drink like some cool band-stalker.
"Woo! Fully Alive!" I called from backstage, earning a wink from their relatively cute lead singers. I blushed. Man, I'm so shy…
Then the other band came on, I hugged Fully Alive because their awesome guys and a great band.
I walked away as the other band started to play, I didn't know why they were even on the bill; they were called Shoot To Thrill.
I grabbed my guitar then waited for them to leave, they glared at me and they stomped off.
"Bitches" I muttered under my breath and walked onstage to help with the drums.
"Hello guys!" I smiled, sitting down on the stool, looking into each and every member on the crowds eyes.
Then we started to play, I noticed that a lot of people were distracted by some group by the bar. I shrugged and finished off the song.
"That was about a boy I liked for too long. And, I'm glad I'm over him" I smiled, "Is there a man who can duet with me in this song? It's by All Time Low, my idols. So anyone? It's Stay Awake"
At first no one held up there hand, I looked at everyone until a hand rose from the group by the bar. I started at the person. Oh, God!
"Alex Gaskarth" I whispered, blushing so much that it would be obvious even from the lights and the distance.
