027 The Shining Band
"...I just came here to ask if you are interested?"
Once again, Jeremiah's eyes fell on Ronan, his eyes full of expectations, and he could feel the enthusiasm without expression.
However, before Ronan could respond, Maxim's voice suddenly cut in from the side and broke the situation, "Jeremiah, our captain is Cliff, and he should be asked about these things."
Luo Nan was slightly stunned. The first thought in his mind was: The band actually has the captain's configuration? The second thought came out immediately. The captain was not the lead singer?
Before he could find an answer, Oli's words attracted Ronan's attention, "If the captain's duties were handed over to Ronan, our band would have been unable to hold on."
Ronan's entire back was covered with arrows, comparable to an arrow pig, "Hey! Do I want to save face?"
"I", after blurting out the words, Ronan realized that he was gradually immersed in the situation and got used to his entire identity and situation step by step. Although he didn't know why "Ronan Cooper" was disliked, Ronan always felt that the pain in his back was too obvious, and immediately burst out and raised his fist at Oli with gritted teeth.
Grizzly eyes wide open!
“Hahahahaha.”
Faced with Ronan's "angry", Ollie laughed so hard that she was rumbling back and forth. Her hilarious voice was full of energy, and she hit her eardrums like a shock wave. Even her forehead could feel the aftermath, and the echoes were echoing, which was comparable to the superpowers of superheroes in comics.
In the lively atmosphere of the hustle and bustle of your words, Jeremiah still maintained a calm expression, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but raise a little, "I understand, I fully understand, our lead singer is Wesley, but the captain's responsibility is me. Every time I encounter such a thing, either I come forward and they are confused about why a drummer came out; or they just find Wesley directly, but he doesn't care at all."
Jeremiah said this to Cliff, showing a slightly helpless look, but not because of the confusion of identity, but more because of the embarrassment of the captain's identity—
In fact, the captain is not the leader, but a coolie who does chores and does tiring work.
However, Maxim misunderstood Jeremiah's intention. The reason he looked at Ronan was not because he assumed Ronan was the captain, but because Ronan was the highlight of the entire stage performance, which was also the reason why he was willing to come and send an invitation. In the final analysis, the charm of the performance is the key.
Naturally, Jeremiah's eyes were gathered on Ronan.
But Jeremiah did not correct Maxim, but followed the topic and looked at Cliff, "So, are you interested in the Full Moon Party?"
Cliff's heart was surging, and the magma was gushing and swelling, as if he could smell the burnt smell, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface. "Of course, it would be our honor to join the full moon party carnival, but we missed the registration time, what you said just now..."
Missing the registration time is a clever statement, but the real reason behind it should be that Trastan did not sign up for them at all.
Perhaps, Trasttan's "giving up" was earlier than he thought.
Before Cliff could finish his words, Jeremiah immediately took over the conversation, "Our band is very honored to be your recommender. I hope to see more performances of different styles and colors at the Full Moon Party. There is no doubt that this will become a feast."
This is not all. Jeremiah understands the true meaning behind Cliff's words, so he further introduces himself.
"I formed a band with four other friends called the-lumines, and I was lucky enough to release my first album three months ago, but it hasn't caused any splash yet. I'm currently doing a road show across North America, and we've been staying in New Orleans for two weeks."
This is the key information Cliff needs - who is the band who can step onto the Full Moon Party stage and recommend other bands?
Otherwise, the stranger who met by chance was really unknown and gave him kindness for no reason. No matter how you look at it, there was something tricky. If Jeremiah himself was full of confusion and suspicion. After all, it is no longer an era of never closing your doors at night and praising kindness.
So Jeremiah answered Cliff's question with understanding.
"'Roar, hey (ho, hey)'?" Ronan's words blurted out like this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Jeremiah turned his head again and showed a sincere smile, "It seems that our band's road tour has achieved some results."
The Shining Band, founded in 2001, was originally composed of Jeremiah Forlets and Wesley Schultz. He started in New Jersey, worked hard in New York, and finally met the third member of the cellist, Neyla Pekarek, in Denver, Colorado, to complete the band's puzzle.
In 2011, the band members filmed the original single "Roar, Hey" in a small apartment, and unexpectedly won the appreciation of two music agents. The two agents came to their homes and paid for them to record an album for them out of their own pockets, and then promoted them through underground performances and tours.
At the end of last year, the TV series "South China Medical Love" adopted the song "Roar, Hey" as the theme song of the second season, successfully won the hearts of countless viewers, and the on-demand rate on radio stations has soared. This breakthrough won the band's favor from record companies and finally released the album in April this year.
However, Ronan knew that the Shining Band was not because of the "Southern Medical Love", but because of his memory in his previous life.
The first album of Shining Band is a realistic case of "the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". It was released quietly and has been praised and highly recommended by more and more people step by step. Ten months after its official release, the album received explosive praise and praise from countless media, and finally successfully ranked second on the Billboard Album Chart, and won the band two nominations for the Grammy Newcomer of the Year and Best American Album.
In the Internet era where life is getting faster and faster, Shining Band's road to fame is a myth. Later, they released several albums one after another, truly gaining a foothold.
As for Ronan personally, he likes this band very much.
This is a folk rock band. Whether it is the first three original members or the last two members who joined before the album was released this year, they are both good at playing different instruments, mandolins, cello, piano, ukulele, etc., from arrangement to lyrics, they contain the wisdom of life.
It is worth mentioning that before recording the album, the original members of the Shining Band Jeremiah and Wesley also performed commercial performances in different entertainment venues like the One Day Kings Band, just like the resident singers. From 2001 to 2011, they also persisted for ten years, pursuing their dreams in loneliness and darkness.
I never expected that today I could see Jeremiah of the Shining Band with my own eyes!
