Telling someone you love them is usually a fairly extreme move. As much as I admire such bold, daring moves and prefer such direct approaches, it is alas usually only a wise move if they love you back. So having dived in at the deep end, you've at least got a good platform to go all the way. Ask her directly about the band! If you can tell her you love her then you can probably ask her anything! Good luck, hope it goes well.
