The Boards, Sunday Afternoon

Alright, Jono was here. Jono was totally not freaking out in the least. Jono had set up a few mics and patch cables onstage in case anybody showed up and wanted to jam, and ( Read more... )

What band?

Whatever band we can agree on putting together if people try out, mostly. Jono's pretty much winging this.

"Still not seeing a drummer," Dante commented, as he swaggered up to the stage.

//If we don't end up with a drummer, so help me I will pick up a drum set and teach my own bloody self,// Jono decided, raising his eyebrows a little. //We'll see what sort of disaster that turns out to be, if I do.//

"Can just get one of those fancy drumming machines," Dante said, slinging his guitar around his shoulder the right way. "Make some industrial."

//Feels like cheating,// Jono replied, a joking note in his voice. //But I suppose if it came to that, we could. I can't be drums and bass at the same time, anyway.//

It would be tricky. He didn't have that many arms.

"But you can be bass and a light show," Dante said, snapping his fingers.

//I do have that going for me,// Jono agreed, demonstrating as he threw off a few bright-white sparks. //Hell, I have more experience as a light show. With any luck a bassist will show up and I can put all of my energy into what I'm good at.//

Which would leave him to play light show, because he didn't want to steal anybody's thunder by breaking out his own guitar. This was meant for fun, after all.

Dante snickered. Then he looked out at the people who'd actually showed up. "Think any of these people are into anything harder than pop-punk?"

//Hard to say,// Jono admitted. //I think Pinkie could probably be persuaded to play practically anything, so long as it's fun. I haven't decided what to make of Xanthippe, though.//

But hell, plenty of metal used classical instruments, too. They could probably find a happy medium between them.

"... She's definitely a pop-punk kinda girl at best," Dante decided.

He shook his head, sighed, and played an E chord. It felt like an E chord kind of moment.

//Pop-punk with a mystery instrument,// Jono agreed, looking thoughtful. //We can work with that, I'm sure.//

If she never pulled her instrument out of the case, they could put her on the spoons or something.

"On the upside, that's just three chords a song," Dante said, snorting.

//So long as nobody here wants to do any Sugar Kane covers, I can live with that, too.//

Sugar Kane was strictly off-limits. Jono carried a few of her albums at Groovy Tunes, but none of her more recent ones. He had writing credits on those and really didn't want to hear her singing his work. Or hear her in general.

Ugh, Sugar Kane.

Long pause. "You... really hate Sonic Youth?" Dante guessed.

Don't call him on his knowledge of ancient rock bands, Jono. It was mostly your fault anyway.

Jono blinked, impressed after a moment spent actually a little thrown.

//Ah, no. No. A musician from my own reality. Bubblegum pop, but she was trying to go for a more grown-up feel. A little bit Brit Britney Spears, really.//

And a horrible person.

In Dante's defense, it turned out there were a couple of bands actually worth his time. Not that he was ever admitting to Starsmore he'd spent any amount of time trying to play 'Where Is My Mind'.

"Oh, fuck no," he said, pulling a face. "No late 90s bubblegum shit in anything I'm playing, thanks."
