......................................... CHRISTIAN ELLIS BAKER . 25 . MUSICIAN .  .........................................     ON TOUR WITH ARCANE CHEMICAL: ENTRY ONE  INTERVIEWER: "You guys have been together as a band for what, seven years now? The Los Angeles night scene has been loving your gigs, are you prepared for what could possibly come out of this?"  DAKOTA:  "I don't think anyone can truly prepare themselves for that. We aren't getting our hopes up by any means. We're just gonna keep doing what we're doing." CHRISTIAN: "We actually have that many fans? Fuck yeah. It's all about the music. I think it's important we remember that if we were by some miracle to blow up." HUDSON: "Does this mean more wood?" TYLER: "And babes?" ON TOUR WITH ARCANE CHEMICAL: ENTRY TWO INTERVIEWER: "I'm told that you two are the founding members. You met in Detroit? When you were, what, 15? Then you moved out to Los Angeles to try to make it big. Would you say that it's been successful? DAKOTA: "*Laughs* Would you say it's been successful Christian?" CHRISTIAN: "Absolutely. It's been insane. Moving out of Detroit and somewhat living our dream. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It was a bit rough at first, barely eating and living in a one bedroom with a couple lads. We had to do some adjustments but it's totally fucking worth it." ...................................... ...................................... ...................................... ......................................     I don't like to talk about my past. I reckon that it's not as bad as it could be. My dad didn't beat me, my mum wasn't some crackhead but she very well could've been. My family is originally from Manchester, England, UK. On my seventh birthday, Mum told me that she had a different kind of birthday present for me. For a seven year old, you're thinking the absolute best. I remember thinking fuck yes, they're finally getting me the dog I keep pestering them about. Instead they brought in boxes and broke it down to me that they were moving. Not just to anywhere in England to America. Out of all the places we could've lived, they chose Detroit. It was a good atmosphere for them apparently. Except for my Mum. She was a gypsy hippie that got knocked up again and again. It wasn't even two years later when we were introducing my little brother into a a shit lifestyle. My dad lost his job at this time and was just trying to get anything to help us get by. I was seventeen when my dad committed suicide. It was a pretty rough time, we were evicted from our house. My mum took up drug dealing and you know how I found out? She tried to sell me shit. By the time I graduated high school, my little brother and I were taken away from my mum. Since we didn't have any immediate contact, or family members in America the old couple that lived across the street took us in. Around this time I became pretty acquainted with some hardcore shit, cocaine became my best friend. Marge helped me through the entire time. Pushing me to get a job and get clean for my little brother. She was also the one that encouraged me to chase my dream. Dakota and I had been best mates since elementary school. We had formed a band during that time period and thought it was time to move on from Detroit, get the fuck out the hellhole. I felt terrible leaving him behind, my little brother I mean. But Marge and Dale promised he'd be in good hands. We moved out to Los Angeles but we lost two members of our band. The place we were living in was absolute shit, one bedroom and all we had was a couch and a couple blow up mattresses. We both found other jobs, me in another record store and Dakota working fast food. Anything to get by right. It wasn't long until we met Hudson and Tyler. My brother and I talk all the time, every day actually. He keeps asking me to come out but I won't let him until I've got a proper place. We moved into a better apartment but it's not much. It'll do for us, you know. Living the gypsy life like my Mum.  ......................................... KAYLA . SECOND BF . MEMBER GROUP .........................................
