Pop doodles: your favourite bands, their favourite places

Hotel by Chris Walla, Death Cab for Cutie: 'What stays in my mind is the atmosphere when I enter a new hotel room - it doesn't matter where. All have a similar atmosphere' Photograph: PR

Battle Abbey by Richard Hughes, Keane: 'The drawing doesn't do it justice, because it's a beautiful building. On the left is a path, and when I go running, I run from my house, which is about two miles to the left, to the abbey and I go past the bench. I sat there once with [bandmate] Tim after we'd got very drunk one night. We stopped for a rest because we were feeling a bit dizzy.' Photograph: PR

Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers, St David's Wood: 'Place of mystery, purity and joy, now destroyed in the name of progress.' Photograph: PR

Johnny Marr, Arizona desert: 'I like going here to make myself feel small and to get really quiet. It's better for me than sitting in the suburbs taking drugs, which is what I used to do.' Photograph: PR

Ronnie Vannucci Jr, The Killers, Garage: 'My parents' garage in Las Vegas. I spent a lot of time in here as a kid. While the other kids were out on their mountain bikes, I was in the garage, singing and beating on the washer, dryer and refrigerator. One Christmas - I think I was 11 - they all broke down and my mum bought me a drum set. That was the start of something beautiful.' Photograph: PR

Brendan Benson, The Raconteurs, Amsterdam: 'What really stayed in my head is the red light district. It just feels so bizarre. The first time I went there was with my girlfriend. She had to leave after five minutes.' Photograph: PR

Bob Hardy, Franz Ferdinand, My Parents' House: 'The house where I stayed from 11 until I left home at 18. My parents were never home - they had a house in Scotland - so basically it was mine. I had really good parties.' Photograph: PR

Pete Doherty, Moscow: 'When I was on the dole, I was quite a poet. Some people got some money from the Arts Council and sent some unemployed kids and artists to Moscow ... it was great. I was in a Russian ecstasy.' Photograph: PR

Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs, House in Leeds: 'This is the house I'm trying to buy at the moment. I don't want fast cars or long, expensive holidays. There's nothing I really want to have but this place. It's like our success turned into stone, and the embodiment of everything that we've achieved.' Photograph: PR

Chris Geddes, Belle and Sebastian, DJ night in Glasgow: 'I used to do a night at a club called Yang. It was a mixture of northern soul, funk and disco, and on a good night I'd be playing techno by the end. It's where I met my girlfriend.' Photograph: PR

Matt Bellamy, Muse, Psychology Test: 'This is a test my girlfriend, a psychologist, showed me. You ask someone to visualise a desert, a cube, stairs, a glass and a horse. The psychologist can describe what's wrong or right with the person. The picture I drew is the same one I drew for my girlfriend.' Photograph: PR
