"  Hayley Williams discussed her low-maintenance sartorial tastes with ELLE in July&amp;#039;s Women in Music issue, citing &amp;quot;a cut-up T-shirt and a good pair of pants that don&amp;#039;t show booty cleavage when you headbang&amp;quot; as her preferred onstage getup. But now, Paramore&amp;#039;s flame-haired front woman&amp;#039;s revealed a few other facts about her unstoppable pop-punk quintet\u2014whose hit &amp;quot;Ignorance&amp;quot; is nominated for Best Rock Video at this year&amp;#039;s VMAs.  1. Our first show was on May 2nd, 2004 at The End in Nashville, TN. We were the local band opening for Copeland, who were one of our favorite bands at the time. 2. When we got signed to Fueled By Ramen records, Zac was in the 8th grade. He used the good news of our signing as inspiration for one of his &amp;quot;non-fiction&amp;quot; writing assignments at school, but the teacher knocked off points because she didn&amp;#039;t believe it was &amp;quot;non-fiction&amp;quot;. He quit school the week later. 3. Josh and I got our high school diplomas by finishing high school online while we were on tour.   4. I wrote the lyrics to our song &amp;quot;Fences&amp;quot;, from RIOT!, across my SAT test paper. 5. Jeremy used to play a five-string bass because he&amp;#039;s actually really good at slap-and-funk bass. He and I were in a funk cover band called The Factory, just before Paramore began. 6. Taylor is the newest official member of our band, but he&amp;#039;s actually been around and writing with us since the beginning. The first song he and I wrote together was in 2003, &amp;quot;O Star.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s a B-side track to our first album, All We Know Is Falling.   \u2014ERIN CLEMENTS Photo by Ray Lego "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
