The Valleymen.

Lloyd Meadow, guitarist and main song writer. Part time dad.

Constantine Haselmann, drummer and sometimes vocals. Bitchy strawberry blond with a heart of gold.

Patrick Hencer, lead-singer and bassist. A well beloved disaster.

To start with the band's history, start with Lloyd

Lloyd Meadow, born as Lloyd Malcolm, but he changed his name later, is the guitarist of the band.

He was once in a psychedelic band called "The Flameless Candles" who split up during the end of the sixties what made Lloyd pretty upset because they split up because of a bad critic.

After locking himself up in his apartment for several weeks, he decided to form his own band.

He went for a walk and ended up in a bar where he saw a band playing that was bad. Like really bad. But they had an amazing vocalist. This vocalist was Patrick Hencer who later became the main vocalist and bassist of Lloyd's band.

After the band's gig finished Lloyd went to Pat and tried to get him to join his band what was suprisingly easy. With Pat, also the drummer Constantine Haselmann and Pat's best friend joined because he's pretty overprotective about Pat.

So Lloyd dragged both of those nerds to his flat and recorded some songs with them.

And with those few songs they made their first album which was a gift for Lloyd's nephew.

Patrick's favourite hoilday is Halloween. He is a bit alone with that in the band because neither Constantine or Lloyd share that, both prefer Christmas time and even used to celebrate it together every year.

Sheila and Constantine

From the first second on she sees Constantine she can't stop am taking pictures of him. That's nothing unusuak for Sheila, she takes pictures of everything ahe sees, but she takes a very great fancy to him right from the start. She loves watching his face, his expressions, the way he talks and walks. Most of her pictures from that period are from him. They start to become closer and refer themselves as closer acquaintances and eventually as friends. They have some things in common and those they don't, they bring each other closer to. So, Constantine starts having an eye for fashion and dresses the rest of the band with him, and Sheila learns that there are more bands than the Beatles and The Stones. That they develop crushes on each other starts after some time. None of them really knoe when it starts. They have are found of each other, they think highly of each other and both inspire the other. Somehow there was love suddenly, but none of them would have thought that this feeling was love. But one Sheila takes another picture of Constantine (what has become some kind of daily ritual) and she smiles at him and he can't help himself but kiss her.

Sheila

Okay Sheila, Sheila Pamela Collin.

She was Constantine's girlfriend once, but they broke up when she cheated on him.

Sheila is an extrovert. She talks with waiters about the weather and asks taxi drivers is how their day was. She is hobby photographer, but she made her hobby to her job, since she takes photos for a fashion magazine. Still she sees herself not as a professional one.

Constantine met her during a Stones concert, he noticed her as She's a Rainbow was performed. She caught his eyes when she was climbing on her seat to take better pictures, because she was too small. He later would say that this song was only played for her.

Sheila is a dog person. She and Constantine have one the two years they live together, of whom she takes care after their break up. She calls the dog Jäger (German for hunter) because the spelling reminds her of Jagger.

Something she absolutely hates is getting up after nine o'clock in the morning. Then she has the feeling that she wasted her time. She has a very deep sleep. Sometimes she drools in her sleep, but what happens more often is that she starts fidgeting.

Back in the days when they protected each other and it was kinda cute
