"call me Caiden everyone does, all this Mr. Fyn makes me feels old, I'd like a t-shirt actually those are lit, and the Zelon drive with the song, I will be putting that on rotation right now actually, thanks for that," he took a t-shirt and the drive

along with the rest of the t-shirts, here you go," he passed sienna a pen
"Are you guys comfortable? we are going to start the show soon"
sienna and the guys signed the photo book writing their autographs on some of their photos
Caiden unfolded one of the t-shirts
and spread it out in the middle of the table he stacked the other t-shirts next to it along with the photo book
"you guys all need to put on the headphones and arrange your mics make sure you can hear and be heard"
they all got situated and soon it was time for the show to start
"Good afternoon listeners and viewers of Fyn Rock Radio
I am your host and DJ Caiden Fyn, and, here with me, today, are, The, members of the hottest
new band on the charts currently, SILVER SHADOWS, their song After You, is number one
on the planetary charts and they have also Won. Debut of the Year, on the Starstreams already
Silver Shadows please introduce yourselves one by one please"
"Hello everyone my name is Sienna, its nice to meet you,
i am a songwriter lyricist of the rock band called Silver Shadows,"
"Hello everyone I am the lead singer and song producer Daisuke and my other band members are all here as well"
"Hi, I'm Liam the drummer and vocalist its an honor to meet you guys,
Caiden you're legendary! I'm a huge fan so happy to meet you" he said grinning
"Hi I'm Kaleb bassist and singer, my dad used to have your posters in his room and played your songs all the time"
"We grew up listening to your songs we probably know your albums backward too" "hi I'm Kaleb's twin sister Kanna the band manager"
"Hi I'm Zane guitarist and rapper of Silver Shadows and my wife is here as well"
"Hi I'm Melody, Zane's wife i am the bands Star Stream Administrator responsible for creating all the bands media content"
"so right off the bat, we have something really interesting and different, for the first time ever, a band that debuts with a married couple as members," Caiden said, "how long have you two been together?"
"Zane and i have been together since we were kids" Melody answered proudly "we came all the way from Atlantia to Prylea together, to pursue Zane's dream of doing music, we got married after we got here, and we are the first Musicians of the water planet, it's been more than five years we have been married now"
"thats the simplified version," Zane said "my wife, for those who don't know by her hair color, was actually a mermaid, and she lived in the water, she had gills and a tail and everything"
"and we met on the beach one day, she was drawn to the shore by the sound of my guitar playing,
and we became friends, eventually, we fell in love, and she was the one who encouraged me
to leave Atlantia to pursue music, because our home planet does not have bands and such like they do here, but I didn't want to leave her, I felt like I would be leaving my whole reason for wanting to do music behind in the first place,
she had become the reason why i picked up my guitar to play, before i met her it was just a hobby for me to sit on the beach strum my guitar, and make songs in my free time,
she decided that since i wouldn't leave her, then she would come with me instead
she gave up her tail and gills and her family and life in the water for me,
after going through her adaptation process from mermaid to human,
it had not been easy for her to do that,
and then traveling all the way on a ship to Prylea with me,
a trip that took us two years to get here,
she sacrificed so much for my dream, had not for her, I wouldn't be here,
how can i let go of a beautiful girl who believes in me so much, trust me so much, that
she would do all of that for me, just so i can achieve my dream, and to stay by my side?
how can i not love her for it? so I married her a year after we arrived here on Prylea, I took a part-time job and saved every penny,
until i could afford a ring and a dress for her and i became her very proud and happy husband, and I will never regret it as long as i live," Zane finished
"so that is for all those so-called fans out there who say that idols shouldn't have girlfriends, he has a wife so deal with it! : Caiden said, "thats what you call support, loyalty, dedication, sacrifice, faith and true love, a real love story people, these two wonderful!"
"Most guys? they come here with a good girl and ditch them as soon as they get here, I can respect a man that understands what his girl is going through for him, and makes an honest woman out of her, good job Zane and i don't blame you your wife is very lovely" he smiled at Melody
"thank you!" melody said flushing
"so Atlantia Water planet, beautiful place, I've been there a few times on holiday," Caiden said all beach and waves. perfect for that summer surfing holiday it's lovely and so peaceful there on the single continent,
most people are very friendly everyone lives off the ocean so it's pretty much all fishing villages there but excellent for seafood
because the one good thing about Atlantica is its healthy natural oceans filled with all kinds of fish species
including the merpeople and the continental Atlanticans have also created something of a small nature-based tourism industry there so that they can make a living"
"exactly!" Melody said "it's not very technology advanced there but they can provide things like cooking and hospitality, so a few local resorts have sprung up in recent years there"
"where are you other kids from? what are your stories?"
Caiden asked sounding curious "this is quite the group you've got here Daisuke"
"I am from Huassain" Daisuke replied "my dad was Huassain and my mom a human
they were a merchant couple, they traveled around the galaxy together, I was born and then
my parents both passed away when their ship was raided by pirates, I was then raised by my uncle on my mother's side, when I was about sixteen I left my moms family and decided to be independent
Zane Melody Kanna and Kaleb were already here, I met them, and we became friends
and decided to start a band together, we were only missing a drummer and a songwriter,"
"Liam here I'm from EXOCON the mining planet to put my story in a way that doesn't sound so cruel, my dad was a miner and he wasn't the nicest guy and he drank heavily one day,
he came home from work in a drunken rage he hurt my mom and me and then hurt himself, only I survived
I grew up in an orphanage on EXOCON after that, when I got too old to be there, they kicked me out, so I had no where else to go,
so I walked into the ship port one morning and choose a random ship and got on board
i had no idea where i would end up, and frankly, at the time I didn't care
anywhere was better than where I was, and I ended up here on Prylea
after a year of travel, and they discovered I had stowed away on their ship, they dumped me off here
I met a bunch of kids and they became my first friends here on Prylea,
the band that I joined before Silver Shadows, they would practice in a basement near where I was living, and curious I began hanging around them,
they introduced me to the drums, and I started learning and playing
since then I have never been to like music school or anything, everything, I know about music is all self taught,
I never had the big dream of being a superstar or anything, I was just trying to get by back then,
working scrappy jobs, just to feed myself, and keep clothes on my back, and place to sleep
so being in a band at first it was all just for fun, and it was something I did with my friends when we hung out,
it was new and interesting and I liked it,
the band eventually we got good enough to start playing clubs and the streets, and we started making a little money from that, we were talking about trying to get signed to a label,
and then one night our leader got poached by some scout, and he left us, the band pretty much fell apart after that,
so I started going around playing by myself, in the hopes of getting picked up by another band, and thats when I met these kids,
Melody, Zane, Kanna, Kaleb, and Daisuke they offered me food and a place to stay and I could practice and play with them,
and I've been with these guys ever since, and Daisuke has been really amazing, he was the one who had the ability to make this all work.
he had the inheritance money from his parents you could say among us he was the rich kid cause his parents had a merchant business,
and he was able to use the money to get us a place. not only to practice, but he paid for a place for all of us to stay together, it was a cheap apartment, but it was home for us kids,
and he bought all our instruments too, that actually belongs to us, we used to borrow instruments from a community center to practice with,
we didn't have anything that actually belonged to us, our own guitars our own drums our own practice space,
Daisuke is really the man who created silver shadows really took care of us,
cause Zane and melody were both working hard and they had Kanna and Kaleb like they were their kids,
so having Daisuke come in and having me come in, we were growing more and all of us are kids so not going to lie,
the money to get up was the biggest problem for us back then, how we are going to eat how we are going to live and make it every day,"
"wow incredible," Caiden said "so Daisuke is the man in charge, and to be so young, and take care of a whole group of you guys, must have been a huge responsibility for him on his part,
so that speaks to his leadership abilities and with the vision that he must have had too really pulled you guys together" Caiden said "that's really impressive"
"so what about the twins? how did you two get mixed up with this? cause I'm hearing that you two were here before Liam?" Caiden said
"Kaleb and Kanna we are the twins we come from WARZUN the Speed planet,
our parents passed away in an accident and we ended up with an unpleasant relative who couldn't be bothered with us,
they were never really close with our parents, to begin with, it just happens that they are the only next of kin our parents had,
they didn't like us very much, so we ran away from home basically on our own we saw an add on the star streams for Prylea,
and it looked like a fantastic place so we bought some tickets and came here after landing here we didn't have anywhere to go.
cause we took off with no plan we didn't think too much,
and we would have ended up starving on the street, had not for Zane finding us while he was on his job at the time " Kanna explained
"We tried to steal some food from the place where he was working, we apologize for that by the way at the time we were starving,
and we didn't know what else to do and he caught us and realizing we were in dire straits,
he brought us home with him and had Melody cook us a meal and from then on Melody and Zane were like mom and dad for us"
"and we were the ones who met Daisuke and became friends with him first," Kaleb said
"We were going to high school around then, Zane and Melody made us both go back to school, Daisuke was a kid who hung around places where we hung out, and he was crazy about music too like Zane was, so we brought him home and introduced him, and everything started from there
actually, Zane was the one who introduced me to playing the bass too because he played the guitar, but a guitarist always needs a buddy, so he taught me how to play the guitar, so we could play together"
"so you guys came together like a family," Caiden said nodding " thats what makes you guys so different from other bands
you found each other organically, you weren't put together by a label, and you built yourselves from the ground up, using your own resources and your own talent, and you guys invested in yourselves and stuck together,"
"thats the thing Liam mentioned about his previous band breaking up because a member got poached
so you guys don't have any stories about that happening to you? and what about Sienna? how did she join up? is she a songwriter given by eclipse entertainment? it sounds like she might be given that her song is major hit already?"
"Actually, we didn't get discovered playing around like that, like other bands do," Daisuke said
"We talked about it, starting on streets playing the clubs to get popular, but we sort of skipped that process, because Melody, decided to post up a video of us back then on the star streams, it was a cover video and a got a bit popular and someone from Eclipse noticed us that way and they reached out to us"
"so thats, why it seems like you guys, came out of nowhere! really and you're are not known like that" Caiden said "Eclipse is known for using other ways to scout future talent so Sienna what about you?"
