Unit 5MusicReadingThe Band That Wasn'tHave you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician?Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert,at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music?Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan?To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous.But just how do people form a band?Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music.They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practicing their music in someone's house is the first step to fame.Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments.Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash.Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!However, there was one band that started in a different way.
