Magazines like NME interview bands that are embarking on a tour, or releasing an album. Bands use magazines like NME as a stepping stone in getting their name out there to the public, to sell tracks and tickets, and reach public stardom. Nme regular includes line ups and latest news of festivals, tours and gigs.
NME are usually known for interviewing bands that are embarking on a tour
The Interview with Mumford and sons is something similar that i am aiming to create. In it they talk about their tour and their rise too fame, but add a comical effect by discovering that they are "surprisingly massive piss heads"
Nme is usually associated as using Gonzo Journalism This basically means that the writer is involved in the interview using first person narrative. As i am interviewing a band i hope too do the same.
