INTRODUCTION
1977.
It is a dark age for music. Disco music has conquered the western world and continues to spread. It seemed as if rock n' roll was truly dead. This is the story of a band of rock n' roll heroes, their rise, their golden days and their downfall. Their name was: The Hitchcocks.

*The band and all characters in it are entirely fictional*

The Band

Vocals

Played By: Sam Kenobi
Name: Dane Jocabo
Date of Birth: 08/01/1949
Place of Birth: Chicago, Illinois
Instruments played: Lead Vocals
Nicknames: Dane, Jocabo, Bobo
Biography: Moody as hell, this lead vocalist thinks he's the end-all be-all center of the world, and isn't about to let anyone forget it. The band members call him Bobo just to piss him off, but he really prefers going by either his first or last name... not both at the same time. He's not shy with his alcohol and enjoys a smoke here and there with his buddies. Sure, deep down he's probably a nice guy, but is far from willing to give up his life at the top just to make another friend or two

Lead Guitarrist

Played By: Captain Dappet
Name: Joseph Torrance
Date of Birth: 17/06/1950
Place of Birth: London, United Kingdom.
Instruments played: Guitar(Acoustic and electric).
Nicknames: Tick, Joey.
Biography: Foul-mouthed, witty and full of bad habits. Not only does Joseph Torrance smoke an average of two packets of cigarrettes per day, but he's also an alcoholic in denial, and is a suspected user of heavy drugs. His personality is unpredictable, although most of the time, he is a witty, charming person, quick to make jokes, often on someone elses expense. He has little tolerance for photography and interviews, and much prefers the monetary and romantic benefits of being a rockstar. Joseph, nicknamed Tick by his fellow band members, very much enjoys to laugh at the misfortune of others. Tick also has a tendency for aggression, and is quick to lose patience. He currently lives in a luxurious house in California. His skills on the guitar are well-known and highly respected.

Bassist
(Picture coming soon)
Played By: madlilnerd
Name: Samantha Rosebud
Date of Birth: 31/10/1953
Place of Birth: London, England
Instruments played: Bass, and a small bit of piano.
Nicknames: Babydoll, Teddy,
Biography: Babydoll (nicknamed because of her childlike attitude) grew up in Soho, where she "performed" under the dodgy name "Teddy Bare", until she realised she had a flair for base. Nowadays, off stage, she's shyer then most people would expect, and quite quiet and thoughtful, overshadowed by the band's bigger personalities. She often ends up in the role of the doormat, letting people walk all over her, but she's trying to be more assertive. Babydoll does smoke all that often- well, not cigarettes anyway...

Drummer/Back-up vocals

Played By: ILoveHarry
Name: Biancca Bones
Date of Birth: 17/06/1951
Place of Birth: NY, New York.
Instruments played: Drums (and other such percussion instruments).
Nicknames: Stix, BB, B.
Biography: Dubbed Stix by her bandmates, Biancca currently lives in California, and is living the party-girl lifestyle. She started drumming at the age of four, using anything she could get a sound out of as her drums. She has a tough exterior, but if you get to know her, you couldn't find a truer friend.

Well, the core band roles have been filled, so we'll get this show going now.

Recording studios, NYC, United States of America. 5th of August, 1977.

Tick was lying down in the colourful couch, leaving no room for anyone else. He lifted the golden Zippo-lighter to his mouth and lit the cigarrette in his mouth.
"I thought that went pretty well, didn'it?" he said. Smoke came out of his mouth as he spoke.
The setting was symbolic to Joseph "Tick" Torrance's personality and the way people around him acted. Because, right over his head hung a sign that read "No Smoking". Tick did not appear to have seen the sign, though everyone knew he had, he just didn't give crap.

madlilnerd · **Sat Aug 05, 2006 9:12 am**

"Meh", said Babydoll, typically, from her place on the floor. She took out a compact mirror and began untangling her hair from the many pieces of jewellery punched through her ears.
"It was okay, I guess", she said as she finished preening herself. "It's just, I, I mean, we, there's something..." Her voice trailed off, as, once again, she forgot what she was trying to say and kept her mouth closed. She never seemed to be able to put her ideas across and it was frustrating her no end today. She sighed and put her mirror back away, staring with vacant drilling eyes over at Tick.

Biancca enters the room grinning. She's carrying several ice cold beers dangling from the plastic piece, holding them all together. She takes a seat on the corner of the couch, where the back and arm meet. From her perch above Tick's head, she drops one of the beers on his stomache. She removes one for herself and tosses the others at Tick's feet. "What's the word, Losers," she asks with a grin as she cracks open the beer.

madlilnerd · **Sat Aug 05, 2006 4:59 pm**

"Thanks, B." She picked up the beer that lay at Tick's feet and drank it noisily in large mouthfuls, until she choked and spluttered it out on the putrid carpet. Embarrassed, Babydoll flushed scarlet and tried to mumble a weak apology. She always felt like the other band members were laughing at her, and with moments like that, she expected them to.
"Where's Bobo?"

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca chuckles and grabs a towel from the endtable. She tosses the towel to her bandmate and shrugs in responce to the question. "Don't drink so fast, Babydoll. It's not lady-like." Bianca give the younger girl a small wink.

madlilnerd · **Sat Aug 05, 2006 5:22 pm**

Babydoll blushed again, smiling this time, and mopped up whatever she could.
"I should know I can't drink when I tired", she yawned, "But I hate hotel beds. Just thinking about everyone else who's been on them makes me want to hurl. Eurgh." she shuddered and rolled herself a cigarette to wake herself up.

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca considers the statement and shrugs it off. "Really? It kinda make me hot."

madlilnerd · **Sat Aug 05, 2006 5:32 pm**

"I kept picturing fat, sweaty guys- not exactly what I'd consider hot." She took a cheap disposable lighter from the back pocket of her tight black trousers and lit up the cigarette. Her face formed one of euphoria as she gave in to the poison.
"I really should quit... but, it's just so good."

Captain Dappet · **Sat Aug 05, 2006 7:51 pm**

"Quit? You're welcome to try, you know I'd torment you in your worst times of abstinence" Tick said with a huge grin as he cracked open a beer over the floor, as he expected a slight shower to come from it. The beer dripped down on the carpet, but, as usual, he didn't care much. He wouldn't be the one to clean it up.

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca kicks off her shoes and rolls her eyes as Tick. "Slob," she says with a laugh as she lightly kicks his head with her now bare foot.

Captain Dappet · **Sun Aug 06, 2006 6:56 am**

"Hey, it's not your *beep* carpet, is it, so what are you bitching about?" he said, and then his face turned into a disgusted grimace "And I don't think it made me deserve to have your sweaty, stinking, bloody feet in my face"

madlilnerd · **Sun Aug 06, 2006 9:33 am**

"To be honest, it wasn't the nicest carpet in the first place..." Babydoll stubbed out what was left of her cigarette on a particularly stained patch of the floor and put her lighter back in her pocket. She yawned again, and suddenly realised she hadn't eaten for hours.
"Hey, can we order in a pizza? Only, I'm starving. We could charge it to the recording studio, cos I sure as hell don't have any cash on me."

Sam Kenobi · **Sun Aug 06, 2006 11:34 am**

Dane finally enters the room. Without a word, he heads toward the couch and takes Tick's cigarette from his mouth, taking a long drag himself before extinguishing it on the no smoking sign. "No smoking, dumb *beep*," he saysaddressing Tick. Dane grabs a beer and opens it. He looks around. "Are we done here? I have somewhere to be."

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca finishes her beer, crushes the can and throws it to the garbage can accross the room. "Hot date, Bobo?"

Sam Kenobi · **Sat Aug 19, 2006 5:09 pm**

He smirks. "No, somewhere important. Making money's what it's all about, you know that. Then I can just buy a hot date. So I'm outta here, cats. When are we back again?"

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca streatches out longways along the back of the couch. "We're scheduled to be back here at ten in the morinng. There's a party happening in the Village tonight... So, don't expect to see me before noon."

Captain Dappet · **Tue Aug 29, 2006 1:10 pm**

"Really? And why don't I know about this?" Tick said, turning his eyes to Biancca "Is this, you know...the kind of party I'd like?" he said, as a huge smirk started growing in his face.

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

Biancca smiles and leans against the wall. "In all the history of all the parties I'd ever consider attending, has there ever been one you wouldn't like?"

Captain Dappet · **Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:39 pm**

"Yes" Tick answered simply. "At least one, there must be"
Tick finished his beer and put it neatly on the floor. "I refuse to believe we're that alike"

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

B nods. "You're right. Once when I was seven. I went to a birthday party for the kid next door. It rained all day, and they didn't have cake. You would have hated it."

Captain Dappet · **Tue Aug 29, 2006 3:05 pm**

Tick went silent and stared at Biancca. It took a few minutes before he opened his mouth.
"No cake?"

madlilnerd · **Tue Aug 29, 2006 3:31 pm**

"How can you have a birthday party without cake?" asked Babydoll, still on the floor.
"I hated kids parties anyway, especially the ones with clowns. Except for the one I went to where the clown set himself on fire. That one was pretty good."

ILoveHarry · Admiral Joined: 14 Jan 2004 Posts: 7909 Location: Houston

She grimaces. "What can I say? The kids parents were freaks. Granted, I hated the party too... so I guess that dosn't help your, "We can't be that much alike," theory."

Captain Dappet · **Tue Aug 29, 2006 4:10 pm**

"You'll see" he said "We're not at all alike. For one, I'm a musician - you're a drummer" He added, smiling broadly.
