Of the other three mem- bers, Galt hails from the East Caast, while Sjohall and Wilson are B.C. products.

“The relationship between everyone is great,” said Dekker. “The really nice thing is that we all bring forth = different strengths to the band. We com- plement each other quite well and in the business aspect as well, which is exciting, because it’s very hard to do all by your- self.”

The group’s new studio album Jn Your Head has a release date of Sept. 17th.

4 Play will embark on a 16- stop European tour the day after the new CD hits’ the

A_unique aspect of the band’s first release is that each member gets her own spot- light, recording nwo of their own original pieces within the nine-track framework of the album.

Ic'll be beneficial if the members decide to one day break off and pursue separate solo careers —~ they'll sall have original material to their credit while hopefully dodging the typecast of being simply “that former member” of 4 Play.

“We're all supporting cach other on each other's songs,” said Dekker. “It’s nice to have someone else create counter-

melodies for the song that you've created.”

Dekker said the band has been caught off-guard at the large local fan following they've attracted in such a short span of time.

The foursome packed ‘em in at Richard's on Richard’s last week — and a Monday night sellout in downtown Vancouver speaks volumes about the group’s appeal.

“[ think even we've been surprised at how large our audi- ence has gotten,” said Dekker.

Dekker and her cohorts are currently working on a Web site dedicated to the band. In the meantime, information can be garnered through Dekker’s own Web site, located at _ <ww.melaniedekker.com>.

Ryan Phillippe (apparent- ly it’s pronounced fill-i-pee) is at his bese here, which, compared to his roles in Cruel Intentions and 54 isn’t that tough a task to execute. But with this film, more sub- stantial roles may roll his way.
