Band Profile

Originally, my magazine was going to be called 'Rebelle Fleur' however i feel this name would work alot better being the name of my band, as it explains what the band is about. I chose to create a band with two grungy male band members, a drummer and a guitarist and an overly glamorous female lead singer. Beautiful as she may be, which i feel expressed the Fleur (flower) of the band name, she's in an idie rock band which shows her Rebellious side, which put together creates Rebelle Fleur. I have chose the lead singer to be female as it would be different from your stereotypical indie rock band, such as the all male bands like Biffy Clyro.
The two male band members are going to be heavily bearded, with an almost gubby look, their hair wont be done and i'm going to attempt to make it look like wardrobe wasn't thought about, how they came is how they were photographed, i did intend to have them shirtless, but steered away from this idea as i felt it would look too obscure compared to the lead singer.

The female lead singer is going to be very over the top, especially next to the 'strung together' look of the band members, shes going to have luxurious outfit choices, with big volumised hair and captivating make up. I chose to do this as it will really excentuatue the differentiation between the lead singer and the band members, this being the exact look im going for. I want the makeup of the lead singer to be very over dramatic, big dark eyes, big bold lips, either red, or really dark, i want her hair to look big and volumised, yet unwahsed and almost grubby looking. For the outfit choices of the singer, i have chosen an almost lingerie look, underwear as outerwear, big high heels and stockings.

For the setting for my photographs for my magazine i intend the front cover of them to be sat in the back of an old vintage car, hopefully a mustang. I took the inspiration from this from old fashioned pin up girls, thats the role i want my lead singer to play, but with a musical twist. The front cover photo is going to be of all three band members in the back of the car, the lead singer in the middle and the other band members either side, the lead singer is going to look straight into the camera, and im going to shoot her with numerous different facial expressions, the two band members are going to have hoods over their eyes, so you can see their nose and their beards, one is going to be biting a tooth pick and the other will be holding a drum stick, this will help the photo steer away from being a fashion photo, and allow something to distinguise this a music magazine, with a band on the cover. The double page spread photos are going to be ranging, from all around the car,different positions within the car and different standing positions, for some i may have the lead singer holding either a microphone, a microphone stand or a microphone wire, im not 100% sure this will work, as i feel it could look too forced and positioned, but i want variation within my photos, so will shoot it for differentiation in my photos and see how it looks and if it works.

The genre of my band is Indie Rock, inspirational bands for my band are The Pretty Reckless and Paramore. Songs that these bands have released that i have the image of my band performing would The Pretty Reckless - You make me wanna die and You or Paramore - I caught Myself, The Only Exception or Playing God. I chose these songs as they show the bands rock side, but also show that my band would have variation, and shows the vocal talent of the lead singer. I feel with the varying songs, my band isn't just aimed at one type of audience, it allows the band and the songs to appeal to a wider audience.
