| ' Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer's Favorite Bands Like Her Too'I checked it out ... It was great!' White Rabbits drummer Matt Clark says of ' Twilight.' By Eric Ditzian" Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer recently took to her blog to update fans about what's been shaking so far during her summer: lots of reading, a bit of movie watching, and a ton of music listening. In her blog post, she gave love to a bunch of indie bands, and in subsequent conversations with MTV News, the bands gave the love right back to her. " I really should have known about Meese a while ago, but thanks to a mislabeled CD mix, I didn't realize Meese was responsible for one of my favorite songs until I went to their concert," Meyer explained. " And then I was glad that I already loved them, because the guys in Meese are possibly the nicest people in the world." Guitarist Nate Meese was already a huge " Twilight" fan before meeting Meyer at their show in Phoenix this July. He'd picked up the first book at his record label before catching a plane to Denver, and got hooked at 40,000 feet. " It was one of those things where you finish it in 48 hours," he told MTV News. " When we met her backstage I gave her a CD, like, 'Yeah, check out my band, let me know what you think.' I never thought I'd hear back." But she did get in touch with Nate, and they've been corresponding back and forth about writing, books and the bands they both love — including groups that appeared on the "Twilight" movie soundtrack. " She's a huge music fan," he said. " She really likes Muse, I really like Muse." Other bands Meyer cited include Animal Collective, Silversun Pickups and the Dead Weather. The guys in White Rabbits — whose album, It's Frightening, Meyer very much digs — have never met the author, but drummer Matt Clark considers himself a fan, if only because his girlfriend convinced him to watch the movie. " She'd just read the book and said, 'You have to watch this movie with me,' " Clark explained to MTV News. " Typically it's not my thing, but I checked it out because she asked. It was great!" By that point, he was already well aware of the ability of the " Twilight" to bring lesser-known bands to wider attention. " The soundtrack is a huge Billboard hit, which is really rare nowadays," he said. Nate Meese has seen the movie a bunch of times, though like many a Twilighter out there, he prefers the books to the movie. That being said, he has no problem whatsoever if the band one day makes it onto a " Twilight" franchise soundtrack. Still, that prospect has not come up in conversations with Meyer. " We haven't talked about it at all, but it would be incredible!" he said. Source : twilightersnet | |
