CBGB This club has seen its fair share of barroom brawls and loud screechy bands, so much to the point it's had over twenty different owners in the past five years. Sadly, no one can quite remember what "CBGB" stands for...

*Nearly drops a trunk on her foot, cursing loudly as she steps away from it*
Damnit! Reg, how am I supposed to do this by myself?? Tell Lo to just put a cloak on or something! *Sighs in frustration when there's no reply and goes to pick the box up again, ignoring the large scrape on her knee and the new tear in her ******** men...don't do s**t... Pussies... Ugh. >~<;;

"Oh! Let us help." The other end of the trunk was abruptly lifted by Godfrey, who had just previously been strolling down the street, hand in hand with Josh as they 'trolled' for a place to spend their evening.
He wasn't the tallest or strongest person, but he could help this woman out- it went completely against his deeply ingrained Potter-ness to do otherwise.

"Yeah, jeez, can I grab anything else for you?" Josh glanced at the large trunk, wondering how she hoped to carry it on her own in the first place without just dragging one end. He smiled slightly, turning his gaze to the front of the club, where the original color was barely discernible underneath all the band posters and stickers.
"You got a band playing here tonight or something...?"

*Startled, but allows them to help. Flicks her bangs from her eyes, leading them into the dimly lit club*
Er, thanks, just help me carry it in, and I'll see what still needs to be done... Just be careful, I don't think we're insured if kids get hurt in here... It's a mess.
*The place was pretty much empty, overturned tables littered the outskirts of the area fifteen feet from the stage, making a sort of half circle.
Obviously, the sitting areas were for those not brave enough to enter the mosh pit. The stage sat at the back, half collapsed from the large metal rafters that had crashed through it the night before. It was still embedded through the wood, having cracked through the concrete floor as well.
A large smear of blood stretched across the stage's edge and the floor in front of it.*
The lighting system crashed down last night during Merlyn's Balls show. The singer thought he could hang from the rafters... *Rolls her eyes and shakes her head*
'm Simmoans, by the way. Ana Simmoans. *Pauses as she stares at Josh, arching an eyebrow* Reckon, you two don't really come around this part of town much, huh?

Josh walked behind them, not wanting to get in the way while they carried the trunk. It took his eyes a moment to adjust to the faded light, trying to look everywhere at once. He wondered whether the blood stain was a recent addition to the club's charm, or if it had happened at the same time as the rafter's had crushed through the stage. Merlyn's Balls wasn't the best band but it would still suck if one of the members suffered any injuries.
"You're gunna like... they're going to fix the stage before anyone plays on it, aren't they?" Josh grinned, running fingers though his mohawk. He wondered whether to lie about being here before, but couldn't see a plausible reason to.
"Urrr well, I'm not exactly a stranger to this part of town, actually... Oh, and m'Josh. I was just showing Godfrey around the less rich areas of London today, yeah. He was bored of all those boring clubs."

"Okay." Godfrey said, refraining from shrugging so as to not jar the trunk. Hurt?
Of course, he saw what she meant when they entered, and his eyebrows raised up to his hairline as he observed the damage. Godfrey glanced back at Josh momentarily and blinked.
"Merlyn's Balls?" Godfrey couldn't help a grin spreading across his face, finding the name funny of course.
"Yeah, I'm Godfrey." He said cheerfully, apparently not too disturbed by the blood on the floor. "Godfrey Potter-Lockhart. It's nice to meet you."
EDIT:
"What's the use of slipping a bouncer a fat tip if it's boring inside, and you get dragged out by one of your friend's parents a short while in, anyways!" He sounded indignant, but not like some sort of ponce who thought his money and name should get him anywhere- just ticked off at having been constantly impeded in his determined, rebellious teenager-ness. He also seemed to have skewered the recollection of his short experience so he could better express his outrage. "I knew Josh would know some better places!"
He gave Josh a bright grin. He'd liked the few places they'd checked out so far. This place wasn't too bad either! A bit... er..... rough, maybe, but nothing was wrong with that. Live music was also a huge bonus!

*Smirks at Josh's grin* Yeah, we're gonna fix the stage before we play. We're actually giving them a hand to get it ready... S'why I was stuck moving in our equipment in until you two showed up.
*Looks back to Godfrey* Lockhart? Like....book writer Lockhart? *Snorts, obviously amused* I used to read that bloke's books when I was little... Oh, here's good. *Eases the trunk down with him*
So, just out for a stroll then? This street is waaaaay cooler at night, s'pretty dead in the day... As you can tell. - Whoa, whoa... No one's going to kick you out of here if you went to the trouble of sneaking in, kiddo..
Besides, you're with the band now. *Smiles*

Josh stared at Ana, trying hard to remember what band she might be from, but couldn't seem to place her. He was never good at remembering those sorts of things, anyhow. He glanced back to the stage. figuring it wouldn't be too hard to fix the stage up. It was mostly a matter of just moving the metal beam. Which lead to him wondering whether or not they'd be able to employ magic to move it, or just get a bunch of people to help.
Josh could hardly believe their luck at not even having to sneak in or anything. He still wondered what band Ana was from, but figured it would be easy enough to figure out once he saw more members. "Yeah, just walking until we found some place interesting. I was telling Godfrey about this place the other day, heh, he didn't know what moshing was." Josh smirked at Godfrey

"Mmhm." Godfrey nodded, helping put down the trunk. "Yeah, that's my Papa."
Free of the heavy trunk, (And damn, it was heavier than it had looked) Godfrey flexed his fingers slightly and cracked them against his hips, then just curled his hands into light fists and left them there.
"Hey, really?" He said to Ana hopefully, head tilted slightly. "Cool! Thanks!"
His tail curled around him in a way that showed he was extraordinarily pleased, before he snapped back to attention. "You want help cleaning up the stage? "
He peered around, trying to find something to offer his assistance with, but then looked at Josh, and stuck out his tongue.
Turning back to Ana, he shrugged. "Well, that's true, I didn't."
He didn't seem bothered by it, or that he was perhaps too cheerful for a place like this. He was determined to mosh! And mosh he would! If Josh was with him, he knew he could try, anyways.

*Muttering something in Spanish as he comes out from the back hallway, wiping his hands on a tattered red cloth. A flash of fangs show as he sneers to himself, spitting out a few insults to something that could have been the lights*
.....*Pauses, looking Godfrey and Josh over before looking to Ana* Jou were not...lifting those alone, were jou? I tol' jou to wait until I could help...
*Retracts a bit when Ana scowls at him* Sorry. ...*Looks to the boys* My apologies. I'm Angelo... Please, stay for the show...it's the leas' we could if jou are helping us set up.

Godfrey managed to stamp down a startled squeak, not because Angelo was a vampire (His secret correspondence with a certain cold skinned, red-eyed Dark Lord had nothing to do with it, he just wasn't the type to care so much about species) ..... but because this guy was really hot, and had a hot voice, and there were some thoughts Josh with his sexy Mohawk couldn't prevent him from innocently thinking. (He could cheerfully listen to Snape call him a 'Dunderhead' all day as well) "Hi! I'm Godfrey! This is Josh. It's nice to meet you, Sir."
He moved slightly closer to Josh just in case the other boy might need to feel reassured.... and so he could better try and see what Josh was thinking so he could tease him about it later.
"Oh? Wow, thank you!" Godfrey glanced around again, excited and very enthusiastic. He didn't even know what their band was called! But it didn't matter really. "What do you want us to do first?"

*Emerges from the same back hallway as the drummer, arms lifted to refasten the bandanna lashed over her thick curls; grins as she catches sight of her girlfriend, placing an affectionate kiss on her cheek*
New light. *Holds up a compact strobe light*
*Glances at the boys, her voice tinged with a lingering American accent* ...Hey.

His eyes lock on Angelo immediately, a little click going off in his head. He had seen this band before, and now they were talking to him and inviting him and Godfrey to the show and face to face and and... and then he saw Alicia and he was completely sure this was Coversluts. And Angelo's hair was so awesome and Josh really wanted to touch it, but restrained, instead glancing about excitedly for the singer.
eek Josh stood there for a few moments, trying not to let his mouth hang open. "You're Coversluts! Holyshit, this place is gunna get so packed, ohmygod... you guys should sign my uhm..." Stops and takes a second to breathe.
"Yeah, yeah, what can we do to help?" He knew he was smiling in probably the dopiest fashion ever, but couldn't seem to set his face back to normal.

Godfrey was almost insulted by the way Josh was staring! He'd managed to compose himself, but it seemed Josh hadn't even tried, and now he was staring at the new woman who'd just kissed Miss Ana?
Godfrey was about to be very grumpy.
Outwardly he just looked puzzled, and remained puzzled (But no longer grumpy) at Josh's exclamation. Oh! So that was why....
Godfrey let a grin creep over his face at how adorably flustered Josh sas acting, while at the same time thinking- Cover-whozits? (Godfrey was very uninformed in cool music and the like until recently, and still was a classical music, Elvis, and secret Britney Spears fan)
"Sign your uhm?" He whispered under his breath, the grin spreading wider at the look on Josh's face. Well, even if he did know who these guys were, Godfrey was too informed on how incredibly atrocious fans could act to get all woozy over anyone and potentially make a dork out of himself. (Or so he thought)
"Hi." He said to Alicia, waving his hand slightly in hello. "I'm Godfrey, this is Josh."
