I still hope that you will miss me when I'm gone; this is the last song. (Open to all)
There were three bands on the bill that evening. The headliner was, of course, a fairly well known one, with the two before being of a smaller nature, but still with slight followings. Jay's band was the first act and slightly abnormal considering they'd never played a show before and had no fans to speak of, but the venue was trying to help the local talents out a bit and when they'd heard the band was comprised of mutants from Xavier's, they'd offered the spot immediately. Without saying that, of course. No one wanted to be accused of some kind of reverse racism, after all. It wasn't like the band was going to complain though. Exposure was always good, and it was what they'd been working towards anyway.

The club that was hosting them was a nice size, two levels and with several bars, located somewhere in downtown New York City. It certainly wasn't a concert hall, but was known for its good live music and so there was a decent crowd there that grew larger as the night went on. The band had finally decided on a name, too -- Gen X. None of them were old enough to be from that generation, and their music certainly wasn't, but it was more a nod to Xavier's and what they were having to grow up in the midst of anyway. There was definitely attention paid when the band got there and went backstage to help set things up. It would be ridiculous to try and deny the whole mutant curse of being ridiculously good-looking 90% of the time for one thing, not to mention the fact that Jay's wings were out, and at least three of their band members had been in clips on the news for the attacks.

They'd told people around the school about the show, although Jay hadn't gone out of his way to post on the journals. Still their friends knew and word had gotten out. The show was under-21 friendly, although the students all had to get the X-bands showing that they couldn't be served alcohol. Which didn't seem to be the case for the members of the band backstage, but hey. It was their first show together, but they did well. The songs were Jay's, and he made use of his mutation at times to multiply the voices that seemed to be singing during them. He was on guitar as well, with Rahne playing the other. Artie on bass, Kate drumming, and Gemma coming out for piano on the songs that she was needed on rounded out the band. The songs were general enough that the crowd as a whole could enjoy them, but did definitely seem to have some special meanings for the school and the people who went there; it wasn't like Jay was going to name names about who the inspirations were, though. The audience got into it and overall they were a hit; better yet, there were apparently no mutant-related disasters striking during or after the show.


((Open to all! Set after Gen X finishes; you can be in the audience rocking out, backstage if one of the band members gets you back there, or on one of the other bands tourbuses if you're with one of Gen X and are cute ;D. Songs played are Dirty Little Secret, Gives You Hell, One More Sad Song, Another Heart Calls (ft Gemma!), and The Last Song -- yes, AAR are being used for the band's songs and sound!))
