(OOC: I'm going to do this in 3 or 4 parts. I hope you enjoy it.) It is midnight. The full moon shines upon the crowd, illuminating it's vastness. Discovery Park was packed with fans who were awaiting the homecoming of the Sacramento, California band, Reported Failure. The stage moderately sized and all the gear was set up. The only thing missing was the band. Although some of them would have loved to skydive in, drive in on a hummer, or have massive explosions behind them as they arrived, they were backstage awaiting their cue to start the show.
Their cue came. There was no introduction. Cleverly, and hooded under a pitch black cloak, Robert Edwards sneaked to his drum set and began to play. In black and behind his drums no one could really tell that he was there. The crowd, however went wild at the sound of any music. The rest of the band was still hidden in the shadows, but their instruments were in hand. They began playing a steady, mid tempo melody. This went on for some time. The music and seemingly empty stage built suspense. Then, all at once Matt, Vin, and Billie jumped onto stage, the crowd went wild, and there was an explosion of music that led into the first song!
The Cure to Growing Older Destroy… Destroy… Destroy…
Lets blow this off And sink into our melodies Too bad were long gone We’ve been destroyed by our endless tragedies
The bombs go off, the war never ends My time is up in this hospital bed Oil and blood are all I can send To my family before im dead
So lets destroy it all! Lets just start over Before we die I’ll meet you in a place… Where we never fall Where the world stays sober Where these melodies are the cure to growing older The cure to growing older
The world fights, darkness descends We try to turn on the amps before this ends So bring on the city streets, in the dark I welcome all Anyone who can sing along So steal some cars, you don’t have to go far We’ll sing this out before the fall
So lets destroy it all! Lets just start over Before we die I’ll meet you in a place… Where we never fall Where the world stays sober Where these melodies are the cure to growing older The cure to growing older
The first song was and straight up punk rock. The band warmed up the crowd, most of whom were singing along to Reported Failure's latest single. The song ended, and Billie grabbed the mic. "Sacramento!," he yelled. "How are we doing? It's been too long. We are thrilled to be home. We are Reported Failure, and we all are a post-grunge catastrophe,". This led Billie to begin playing the mellow opening riff to the title track of the band's latest album. The song was more layed back than the first. However, when it reached the halfway point, Reported Failure broke things down. Vin played a dynamic rtockstar knee slide worthy guitar solo, and the crowd exploded. Every line came out of Billie Beckett's mouth with passion, vigor, and energy. Vin and Matt helped out by singing the parts of the song that were recorded with Jason Smith and Suburban Sunrise. The first two songs were very much an introduction to what was to come. What was to come was the fantastic remainder of the Post-Grunge Catastrophe.
Post-Grunge Catastrophe Wake up and look at the sun It'll be gone by the time this is done We'll sit back and look at the stars Until were one
Drive until this town's gone Go somewhere where the lights are still on Look back at the world that we knew It's all gone, its all gone
Now this world’s a new society Where people come and go just to feel free Just to feel free
Are we a post-grunge catastrophe? Making our dreams while the city sleeps I've heard maybe were to young now? Are we a post grunge catastrophe? Making a scene out in the streets Your city is ours now!
Go find a better reason Go find another scandal to stick to us In the hope we’ll be gone In the hope we’ll be gone
We know youre not important You missed the boat long ago So just give up Just give up
Are we a post-grunge catastrophe? Making our dreams while the city sleeps I've heard maybe were to young now? Are we a post grunge catastrophe? Making a scene out in the streets Your city is ours now!
Now scream (scream) Tell everyone to run and hide Cause we’ll change your children We’ll get em on drugs. We’ll destroy this hotel room Were just low life thugs Were not the new movement Our 15 minutes are over… Over
This catastrophe will swallow all my friends I dream a dream of broken down cars Vinyl records, and where we kill the trends So lets dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream!
Are we a post-grunge catastrophe? Making our dreams while the city sleeps I've heard maybe were to young now? Are we a post grunge catastrophe? Making a scene out in the streets Your city is ours now!
