About me:
Alex is 25 and is from Northampton and is part of one of the most successful bands which we all know go by the name of
FIGHTSTAR!!
If you didn't know already Fightstar are Alex Westaway, Charlie Simpson, Dan Haigh, Omar Abidi. They have been together since 2003, after Alex first met Charlie when his sister moved in with Charlie's girlfriend Camilla
Alex went to school with Dan and had previously played in a few bands together before going their separate ways.
Alex was also in other bands, upon his return to London he met Charlie at a party, he called upon Dan and also Omar who was an old friend and as they plainly say "the rest is history"
They played their first gig at a radio station in Northampton while Charlie was still with the pop band Busted, because of this it was very hard for them to get together and play and also start recording the EP that they had planned!
On the 14th January Charlie announced that he would be quitting Busted as he felt that the time had come to move on.
Dan directed the video for Palahniuk's Laughter, which was done on a rumored budget of about £7000 and hit the TV channels fast. The EP was recorded with Mark Williams, containing 5 tracks + 1 hidden it hit the stores on the 28th Feb 2005
It was a huge success and quickly sold out in almost every store across the country, there are no plans for it to be re-released either, leaving some fans without a copy.
The single Paint Your Target was released in May and following this there album Grand Unification!!
Alex is very creative and designed the artwork for there 1st ep They Like You Better When You Were Dead and also designs the VS T Shirts along with Dan, which can found on the following myspace link:
