Marisha: I am with Lena ( the ButterBeer Experience )

Marisha: How are you doing today?

The Butterbeer Experience: I am Great.

Marisha: Ok we are going to start with some questions. Ok.

TBBE: ok

M: How did you get your Wrock Band Name?

TBBE: I've started this band in Auggust after I won the talent show at Prophecy. The last morning of Prophecy there were alot of us sitting a breakfast. I was going to start a wrock band but there was other people asking me if I had a band. I said "I don't, and I am really sorry." they said " You should really start one." So I am like ok. I will start one. So we all was sitting around the table and we were trying to think of some names. But everything was taken. So the only name I came up with was "Winky" That is really really bad becuase I don't really want to be name after a drunk house elf. I was thinking about Winky cause I am really small.Then I came up with Hedwing Horcruxes cause of the whole thing of Hedwing lives. Then I thought that was so Depressing. But bunch of my friends were at the table with is going to start a band with that name. Which is so really cool. So I like I will finger something out. So I am sitting in the car driving home for prophecy. The drive home from Prophecy was horrable cause all of the costum and stuff. One of my friend in the car with said "You need something happy, cause you are a happy person". We were listening to the 7 book on tape and at the time. Then all the sudden "ButterBeer". I will be Butterbeer something. Then I came up with Butterbeer Experience.

M: How many people are in your Band?

TBBE: Just me.

M:What advice do you have for New WRock Band coming out?

TBBE: Just do it because Wrock is the lease competitive. Any one can do it even if you can't play an instrument. You can just get up there and talk your way though a song. Any body can be apart of Wrock.Everyone in this community is so open not competitive at all.If you are a wrock fan you can be a wrock Band. There is a small line between not even a line between fan and Band. Like me, I am a huge fan girl. I don't haste to freak out around the Draco and the Malfoys or Harry and the Potters, The Remus Lupins, and Whomping Willows.

M:What is your Favorite Wrock Band, and Muggle Band? And WHY?

TBBE:Wrock. I like really really like The Moaning Myrtles, and Whomping willows.Well cause I am really good friends with them. That might have something to do with it. The one I just heard that I love is called THE Loony Lunas. It is just a instrumental no singing, It is so beautiful music.

Muggle: I've listening to alot of muggle music, but I couldn't pick my favorite band. I'm in to hip-hop/rap, country. Oh the Dixy Chicks. I love them.

M:Ok. Where can people buy your CD's? Do you have any t-shirts and where can they buy them?

TBBE: My Cd is called "Non-Alcoholic". It was release at end on Dec. It is on sale on myspace for $10, and I another cd coming out later this year. T-shirt, well I'm making some for the tour to go on sale over the summer. If you don't have pay-pal. Message me and we will work something out.

M: Have you ever gone to a Wizard Rock conferences or conventions?

TBBE: I've only been to prophecy. But this summer I am going to WrockStock, Magus,Wrock Chicago, Terminus, and maybe Wrock the Boat. At prophecy I meet so many friends that are devoted, to the Fandom.

M:What is the crazy thing a fan did for you, If so what was it?

TBBE: I don't have many fans. I hate the word fan just because the thing about the line between fan and Friend. I don't called them fans. I called them Friends. I talk to the people who listen to my music online everyday. So I think of them as Friends. The funny thing actaully was the show I played in Philadelphia. I was playing with Snidget, The Whomping Willows, The Moaning Myrtles, The Chinese Chomping Cabbages, and Justin Finch-Fletchley & The Sugar Quills. So I was walking around looking for my mom,and this little girl came up to me. She said" You look like Lauren from The Moaning Myrtles". I said "thankyou"., cause Lauren is so pretty. Then I told her "I am really excite to hear them play". Cause I never heard them play live before. The little girl said " Oh What is your name?" I told her " I'm Lena." She said "Wait Wait Lena . Oh my god you are from the The Butterbeer Experience.. Wait Wait I draw something for you." So she went though her little purse and a piece of paper with a butterbeer bottle and me singing. It was really cool and sweet.

M:Any new Song coming out?

TBBE: Yes some new ones coming soon.

M:Is there any time soon a tour or show coming out?
