BASIC STORYLINE:

‘83-’84 (senior year):

Cynth, Dawn, and Shannon formed their speed/thrash metal band Succubus at the end of their junior year, and now as seniors have been taking every gig they can grasp at in cities within a drivable distance. The three get bullied and harassed at school and in public in their hometown–the conservative Christian values of suburban, Midwest America not agreeing with their lifestyle. But either way, they stay true to who they are and do their best to make it out alive.

Summer of ‘84-’85

The girls begin to get traction in the scene pretty quick once they move out of their small town together, getting a shitty, rundown apartment in LA together. A lot of men in the scene don’t like their style–or moreso the fact that a bunch of girls can rock harder than them. Once Cynth and Shannon land a few photoshoots for metal magazines, their popularity is solidified. It may partially be because they’re all hot, but nobody can deny how well they all play. Their rivalry with Hellhound, which is Lexxi, Jamii, and Mack’s band, has also put them in the middle of a media spectacle. Everyone is obsessed with the tension between the bands, and especially the tension between their frontmen.

‘86-’87

Within about a year, the girls have made a big name for themselves. They’re dirty, sleazy, players–everything the men can do, but a thousand times hotter. And their drummer’s a lesbian. Cynth and Lexxi start dating in early ‘87, but they’ve decided to play a game with the press: pretend they still hate each other for as long as they can. Both bands are touring the country, and starting to do shows around the globe.
