*Cheers*
“Hello Leeds!”

*Laughter*
”HELLO LEEDS!!!!”
*Loud cheers*
“Evenin’!”
*Laughter*
*Cheers*
“Ok, I’m gonna introduce you to the band if that’s ok? *looks around* this is a really awkward situation isn’t it... like most of the people over here, and then all of these people over here- BEHIND the speakers. Must sound GREAT over there!”
*Laughter*
“they are the rejects”
“these are the bass lovers, hip hop fans in their spare time! Anyway…”
*Boo*
“Sorry! Obviously I know where not to tread!!”
*Laughter*
“Ok, I’m gonna introduce you to the band if that’s ok? On guitar we have Stacey Campbell, over here we have Chris Brantley, on keyboards and violins, right back here, is Rachel McDonnell. We have two dancers with us this evening on my right we have Beth Allen and on my left, behind the speaker stacks- performing for the hip hop fans we have Rachel Smith. My name is Rogue and we’re The Cruxshadows and its really nice to be here in Leeds, we’ve been without sleep for about three days. We had a trip from Manchester into Dublin and we had to leave very early to catch our ferry and left Dublin right after the show to get to Leeds to perform for you tonight. So we’re dead… But we went to Ireland! And everyone had a Guinness!”
*Cheers from the band*
“I dunno… Guinness is really popular in Ireland and I mean…”
*Laughter*
“Wow… It was really funny- they had these little cars with “Guinness quality control” written on the side of the car. And this is the job everyone wants cos this person drinks all the Guinness.. but we didn’t quite know why the gave him a car!!!”
*Laughter*
Anyway…
Soo ummmmm We have a couple of announcements to make we have a new EP out called Frozen Embers.. I think we’ve sold out of it tonight but I’m not entirely sure….
*Jessica shouts from Merchandise stall* what? We have two left! It will be in stores in August for those of you who are not lucky enough to get to the table before number one and number two….”
*Laughter*
*Guy is trying to creep across the front of the stage to get to the stall*
“..theres gonna be a fight over here, pay no attention to the boxing match! We have a new EP out and it has a single from the new album called “Winterborn”.. The single is called “Winterborn”… the album, coming out in October, is called “Ethernaut”. So we urge everyone to go out to the stores in October and pick that up. I’m sure everyone will!”
*Chorus of “yeah”s*
“I know- ‘I’m not gonna tell him that I downloaded from….errr… and I’l have it in September!’ anyway… our new album “Ethernaut” is out in October and really we do urge you to go and buy it. And also “Wishfire” our album that came out this last year is still selling really strong so why don’t you pick that up and help to continue its strong selling by buying one of those. No one sells your stuff like yourself.. yeah… sooo…”
*Laughter*
*Guy is trying to sneak back and stuff copy of frozen embers into his pocket*
“he’s got it! *Jessica shouts again* Alight they’re all gone now, all the Frozen Embers are gone. So please try and get it at the store.. and if you cant get it cos.. umm yeah…. if you cant get it in the stores……anyway…... Ok we’re gonna play another song now because Rogue is up here babbling and…… This is what no sleep does to you….”
*Chorus of “awwwwww”s*
“In fact no, I bet your wondering how long I can keep talking … I kinda like the sound of my own voice… so… here’s another song!”
