ladyfingers consist of three individuals: emily (the oldest, the wise owl), rachel (the graceful ballet starlet) and jade (layne staley impressionist). in a bid to do something fun during their gcse's (and for the sake of becoming rock n roll goddesses) they started a band. from frodsham (it's near chester.) to uhm.. fiji, ladyfingers (rachel is especially keen on these idea) will rock yr socks. here's an interesting story for you:
... and so it all begin with a chance meeting in a maths classroom. emily turned round and noticed a strange girl lurking behind her chair smiling, and so she spoke to the girl. her name was rachel. they ended up learning to play guitar together with emily's friend hannah and dreamed of rippin' around the country doing their own thing.
rachel had a friend called jade who emily sat next to on a geography trip. on the way home emily slipped 'live through this' by hole into her discman. jade hated violet but loved miss world.
after many, many months of practising rachel traded her guitar in for a bass. she loved it's sexy grooves.
a few months beforehand jade had purchased some drums, much to her cat loving neighbours dismay... they quickly told her to get good and whipped her into our loving, tender caress... i mean ...arms.
after the original line up fell through (hannah left after they had an argument and we killed her with fish hooks.) and they all settled on a name (suggestions included the floozies, sister rae, the apple riots...) : LADYFINGERS!
and so they were born on 10/02/03.
they'd landed a gig with some guys.they had a few things to prove but mainly they just wanted to get on stage. they had five months to prepare for it and they had nothing but notepads full of lyrics.
writing songs took a while for the band. they had to go through the process of finding out what they can do (screaming) and what they can't (sleater-kinney covers)
a few arguments and many discarded songs later, here they are. getting more attention, being asked to do more gigs, practising more and listening to the tape of their very first pracise and shuddering. ("it sounds like someone throwing a drum kit at someone screaming!")
*throws water over you*
ha.
