travis james bailey
so, let's start off with the basics. what's your name?uhh, so, my name's travis. travis james bailey to be exact, if you actually care. you can't get too many nicknames from it. i mean, travs, which my mates call me..yup, that sounds about it. actually, no, i do know where my mum got the name from. it was her dad's name, he died in the war before i was born so she decided to honour him by naming me after him. huh. and no, before you make assumptions, bailey is my mother's surname, not my father's. he buggered off a few months after i a born, so i've taken my mother's name.
oh, it's a nice name! now, would you mind telling us how old you are?well, it's nice that you think so? heh, i am nineteen year young and i will be twenty november seventeenth. i'm quite looking forward to it, but not as much as hitting twenty one. they say not to wish your life away, but i honestly am looking forward to hitting that landmark.
really? you look much younger! well, let's get started. first off, what are you on this tour?is that a compliment? haha, well i am the screamer for seduction by design. it is pretty badass.
oh! so how did you first get involved with batteries not included records?well, my cousin knew a guy who worked at batteries not included, and he was a talent scout. my cousins subtly hinted that he knew a pretty awesome band, aka us, haha, and took his mate along to one of our shows, and he thought we were really original - apparently they don't have many hardcore bands on the label and wanted a bit of fresh air seeing as they had a load of poppy bands, or whatever, so he got us signed a couple of months later.
oh gosh, really? all right, so, how are you enjoying it so far?it's pretty awesome, so far. really, what i not to like? of course, i have to suffer with being on the same label as that ridiculous teenybopper band, winter pursuit, or whatever the hell they call themselves, but it is not all bad.
that's great! so, what do you do in your free time when you are not working?there's no need to sound so enthusiastic, i did not say anything you haven't heard thousands of times before i am quite sure. i spend a lot of time over my hair..you know, it's is pretty fucking sexy, even i will admit that, but i guess i use up some of my spare time looking after it. it may sound quite girl, but whatever. i like clubbing a lot, drinking and picking up girls at clubs etc etc, but i don't do it as much as you might think, haha, i do have some self control, i promise. i also like drawing in my spare time..but not many people know that, so consider yourself lucky. i don't really show many people, i guess because nobody asks, harhar, and i'd rather not broadcast it out. i obviously like listening to decent hardcore music, and taking pictures...and no, not all of myself, i am not some sad attention whore emo kid, haha.
oh, i love some of those too! looks like we have alot in common.really? um. that's wonderful, that is. really...
so, how has your romantic past been?that's not nosy at all dear, haha. well...i haven't had too much of a romantic past. that is quite pathetic, but i have only ever been with one girl. her name was stacey miller and i dated her for three years, before her family emigrated to australia. long distance relationships do not work at all so we decided to end it there. that was a year ago, and now i have not had too much in terms of relationships.
and what about now? is that any better? any different?...did you not hear what i just said? haha, whatever. i'll repeat i for your benefit, i guess...not too much is going on at the moment. meaningless flings and all that good stuff?
oh, i see.. hmm... and, what would you say are your turn ons? do you have any turn offs?well....turns on would have to be someone wo knows how to have a good time, but knows when to be serious as well. if she's not completely full of herself and thinks she is the most amazing thing one earth, yes, that helps too - sure, confidence is good, but not too much, you know? if she looks after herself, appearance wise, but isn't completely obsessed with it, yes, that helps...and if she doesn't pile on the foundation so it looks like i'm kissing an orange? haha, turn offs..well, they'd have to be the opposite to my turn on's, i guess? as well, as, obviously, a girl who treats everyone like shit. i really am not the type to let myself be walked over by anybody, harhar.
ooh, that's understandable, mhm. so, give us a bit of detail about yourself...you could say please hon, i'm sure that would help. but, seeing as i guess you're expecting an answer, i'll give you a brief bit about me. i'm a nice guy when you get to know me. i come off a bit douchey at times, especially to people who get on my nerves because, if i don't like you, i'd rather not be forced to listen to you. i really don't have any patience with people i can't stand, and maybe you'd view that as a bad thing, that i can't tolerate people who rub me up the wrong way, but i'm sorry, i simply can't do it. i tend to flirt with lots of people of the opposite sex, even when i do not realize i am doing it. i mean, when i actually try and flirt, it goes completely wrong and i end up coming off looking like a douche..but when i don't try, it seems i am the smoothest person ever. it's ridiculous, really, i think i got a bit mixed up at the gene's pool. oh well. if i like you, you'll know it, and you'll probably find a not so douchey side of me..but i still am pretty straight forward and opinionated, and i am not one to sweeten my words so people don't get offended by what i'm saying. i swear a lot too. i've probably toned it down a bit for interviews and shit, but when i'm with my ban mates, i should have an r rating stamped across my forehead. i really dislike figures of authority and because of that, i tend to rebel and break the rules a bit, because really, what are rules actually for, except for breaking? there's the usual smoking, doing drugs, drinking underage,. all that fun and shit, but is wear, if somebody actually tells me to do something, i will do the opposite. if someone tells me not to look at something, i will look, harhar. i spent hours searching for my christmas presents when i was younger - i am far too curious for my own good.
mhmm. well you sound like a fun young man/woman. now, is there anything about your past?i was born to meagen and patrick willaims, but as i told you before, th l atter buggered off before i could really remember him, so he plays no big role in my life. my mother has always been single as far as i can remember, she says she just doesn't want to date anybody, but i am pretty sure she is still rather shell shocked from when parick left her. they had been married for ten years, they had me late in life, and i guess patrick had been hoping they wouldn't have me at all, that in the end meagen would decide to have an abortion, or whatever. i've lived in la all of my life, we've moved around inside of los angeles but i've never known anywhere else, which is why i guess being in a band appealed to me from the start. we, as in seduction by design, all knew each other beforehand i guess, but we only really started a serious band at the start of highschool, in the middle of freshman year. of course, that's about when i met stacey, and for three years we were perfectly happy, until she, of course, moved to australia. actually, a few months after that, we got signed to batteries not included, so i haven't had all that much time to mope about her, thank god, harhar. and yes..so here we are now. that is about it.
ahh.. all right, so. tell me some of the things you like.things i like..hm, harhar. i like my band, and my bandmates, and every single one of our fans. that is the most important thing, i think, because, you know, without all this i'd have nothing. i mean, no fucking way am i going to get some silly ass nine to five job..most definitely because i wouldn't be smart enough to get a decent one. i like partying, that one is pretty obvious as well, i guess, as well as photography and drawing. hm, i like sleeping in? i tend to sleep in mot of the day because i go to bed at around four, fiveish in the morning, i have an excuse! i like circuses and like, dark stories and stuff...and graffiti. i mean like, not vandalism and shit, because it looks rpetty crappy..but actual real, graffiti art? i think it's totally badass. oh, and weed. weed counts, right i like weed. i really think they should make it legal to smoke weed, it really mellows you out.
and what about dislikes?hm....well, first off, i hate people who moan about their lives when they actually have a decent life. it really pisses me off, that, you know, people still find things to moan about when they have an awesome life with cool friends and a family that loves them? what more you want, kid? harhar, uh, i hate vegans that preach at you about how you should become a vegan too. i mean, yeah, i get vegetarians and all that...but people, if you don't buy eggs or milk or something, the farmer's are not going to set the animals free to flock around happily in meadows for all their life...they're just gonna kill 'em all. i mean, ayah, i totally get it if you only buy stuff from free range arms, that's awesome..but harhar, yeah, that just gets on my nerve. oh, and stupid teenybopper bands like winter pursuit...or the jonas brothers. who's up with their hair, anyway? please can someone inform me why that jacked up style makes people weak at the knees?
do you have any dirty little secrets you wanna share?god, not really...uhh...well, i mean, i did a lot of bad shit as a kid..but as for now? umm, well. okay, the wardrobe girl for winter pursuit? i think her name is stella or summit. she's really hot. i kind of like her. but i mean, she works for a shitty band, and her stupid brother would blow my head off...or, at least try too, harhar, soo.
ooh, that is deeeeeep. well this interview is almost done, do you have anything else you want to say?it really isn't. it is actually very shallow, i don't actually know her all that well, so i am basing it all off of looks..very shallow! harhar, but no, i think we're done here, thanks hon.
