| With the Band Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN SPOILER!!: Pen Quote:

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before continuing, beaming at him. "You're really awesome up there, y'know." He surely knew that, but she was gonna tell him anyway because he was. The whole band was, really. "I'm really proud of you." So, SO proud. "I know," he played off casually with his trademark smirk. To be honest, he didn't know that they were doing great; sure, he felt it, all that energy and the feeling of being in sync with his bandmates, but he didn't know how it translated out here. And he was glad that she was enjoying the music 'cause he liked her to be proud of him. Her opinion meant a lot, yeah?
When he caught West's eye, he noticed that his bandmate was preparing for the next set and cursed under his breath. He needed like two more seconds to kiss the girlfriend good luck and wink at a few other ladies in the audience. But it seemed like all of that would have to wait 'cause they were starting sooner then he'd like.
Eh, he would have to settle for less. The sixth year quickly kissed his girlfriend and whispered, "Catch you after, babe." Then he grabbed a water bottle and jumped back on stage heading to the back where his drum set was situated. SPOILER!!: Don't Worry, We're With The Band Quote:

After he announced the break, West put his guitar down and scooped up a bro!hug each from Scan and Nigel, then turned to grab one from Ves but she'd already escaped. Uh.. well. Okay. No celebratory hugs from Ves then? He shrugged it off and jumped off the stage to head over to food.
Well, and people, but mostly food. He grabbed a water bottle and loaded up a plate and his mouth then turned to head back...
He popped outside for a bit, finished his food and took care of other things, then came back in feeling better. He kept hold of his water bottle though as he headed back to the stage, climbed up, and got situated.
A few swigs of his water and West picked his guitar up again, ready to get back into it. The others got big smiles from him as they came back to the stage too. Second set time! "This next song is by a band called The Kinks... You Really Got Me." As was his habit, he licked the pad of his thumb before he started playing the opening notes. His eyes landed on Olly. Oh she was HERE? Awesome. Grin. He started singing, eyes still on the Hufflepuff. "Girl... you really got me going... you got me so I don't know what I'm doing... yeah you really got me now... you got me so I can't sleep at night... Yeah you really got me now... you got me so I don't know what I'm doin' now... Oh yeah you really got me now... you got me so I can't sleep at night..." He looked over at Ves as she joined in on the You Really Got Me's, and then he pushed his hair out of his face in the brief pause before the next verse, and this time he sought out Alice. There she was. Brows to you girlfriend. "See... don't ever set me free... I always wanna be by your side... Girl... you really got me now... you got me so I can't sleep at night..."
Soon enough it was time to rest his voice and let his guitar sing. That was always his favourite part. He grinned back at Nigel and went hard, completely lost in the moment and yet still being a total showboat and putting it all out there in the audience, as if he was singing specifically to every single girl out there.
But don't worry, Alice, it was just the music. He gulped back some of his water and took the towel that, before the show, he had set right next to his seat to wipe at his face. He had musician sweat, which was the best kind because it meant that he was into it. Like real into it, yeah? Pfft. None of that half-done crap here. This was a Dead Kneazles show. (The first one, but who cared...start strong, he always said.)
Twirling his drumsticks inbetween his fingers, Ascanius tested out the bass pedal while West set up their next set. Right, the kinks. Less throwing his limbs around to really get the drum hits out. This was a smaller box of playing and a good transition song to start their set.
Keeping it light and almost groovy, yeah he'd go as far as to say that, Ascanius underscored the rest of the band's music. And the vocals. Which were important, y'know?
Though, he didn't miss West basically giving eyes to every single girl in the audience. Kudos. He was the guy singing...every girl was looking at him anyway........Ascanius admired the female attention tactic. Impressive.
He glanced quickly at Nigel and silently almost asked him if he wanted to pick up the tempo on this song... 'cause it was dragging a little for his taste. 'Sides he felt it could use a little more, what did Vesper always say, noise. Yeah, more noise for sure.
So he did a lick on his cymbal and played out the song strong. OOC. Band!Moding...'tis a thing.
