we're doing something different
go backstage with our plain white t's expert
Posted Wed, 10/01/2008 - 09:54 — Plain White T's
Hey, we have a special treat this week, the debut of guest blogger Colleen Whitehouse. Here's a little 411 from Colleen:
"I've been a fan of the T's since 2004 and have always had an interest in web design, hence my website [plainwhitetsfans.com] 
After the band caught on to what I was doing, they actually hired me to run their official website (plainwhitets.com) and their myspace (myspace.com/plainwhitets) ... . According to the band, I know more about them than they do themselves. I'm up-to-date with news about the band and am aware of their tours, music, and TV appearances."
How awesome is that? We knew we had to get Colleen blogging on this site. So here it is -- her first-ever post on abcfamily.com, and it's defs some inside scoop:
"Ever wonder what Plain White T's do backstage before playing a show? I had the chance to hang out with the guys at three of their shows this summer. They're definitely laid-back and awesome people to be around!
"The T's started warming up 30 minutes before set time. The entire band got together in their dressing room and plugged in their iPod to portable speakers -- to listen to some of their favorite music. Each night I was at a show they listened to Weezer's new "Red" Album and also Panic At The Disco (who they're coincidentally touring with this fall!). Tom grabbed an acoustic guitar and played a few chords to warm up, while De'Mar practiced with a pair of drum sticks. Tim and Mike warmed up their voices, and Dave started putting on his earphones (those things you see in their ears when they're playing).
"A few minutes before showtime, the band got together to head toward the stage. Mike, Dave, and Tim all got their guitars and were ready to play to a packed audience! Cool, right? Check back soon for more behind-the-scenes stories."

ten things you don't know07/15/08ten things you don't know about de'mar hamilton 1. He's been sailing with the Kennedys. 2. He's either nocturnal or just an insomniac: De'Mar blogs at 5am. 3. He loves Common Projects brand shoes. 4. He has the Nudie Jeans bible on his wish list. What's the Nudie Jeans bible? You mean you don't know? 5. If given the opportunity, he'd rather not hold a koala, thank you very much. 6. He spent the Grammys feeling very, very hungry. 7. He (along with the Plain White T's) is on the same UK record label as bad boy Pete Doherty. 8. He's an excellent amateur photographer. Comments: 6 |
