Team ChartBlog Meet Madina Lake...
See that young lady on the left? That's Kerri. ChartBlog regulars will know Kerri, as she often puts comments up about music and modern culture and stuff. She's also a member of the ChartBlog Street Team, and her favourite two bands in the world are My Chemical Romance, and Madina Lake. The lady on the far right hand side is Kerri's cousin Kirsty.
Notice anything exciting about the other people in this picture? That's right, they're Madina Lake. And the reason everyone is smiling (apart from Kerri's mum yelling "cheese!") is that Kerri has just spent 10 minutes interviewing her second favourite band in the world, and it's all thanks to ChartBlog.
The meeting happened backstage at the band's recent Birmingham gig, where they had graciously agreed to answer Kerri's best questions, and generally charm the living daylights out of everyone in the vicinity, which, as you'll see, they did rather well...
NOTE: Don't be too quick to mock if Kerri seems to be talking at SUPERHYPERSPEED at times, just imagine what you'd be like meeting your second favourite band in the world, and then try and talk calmly and slowly. Not so easy now, eh?
The first voice you will hear will be Kerri's, and she'll take it from there...

kerri you did a great job.
You should get her doing that more often.

Very impressed Kerri, thought the presentation was excellent and you both asked extremely good questions and kept your nerve during the whole interview. Personally speaking I probably would of gone to pieces and stuttered all over the place! As somebody who dosen't know much about the band I found it very interesting and has made me express more of an interest in their music.
Well done sweets! :D

Although I've only heard good things about Kerri from Crossy it was nice to see (well hear) what the fuss is about. Kerri's interview was both well presented and well thought of in which she asked interesting questions and was unfazed about meeting the band. I admit I know little about Madina Lake but they come across as a nice bunch and Kerri's personality shone through as well Well done Martyn
Nice one Kerri, fantastic job! A future in journalism maybe?
A bit dissapointed my chance meeting with Brandon Boyd in a Cardiff music store does not get a mention, mind you I was so star struck I didn't even think about getting a photo with him. Tsk!
