Dog pressed her lips, rolled an extravagant fill across the toms, thrashed out her anxiety in the splash and crash. Left unchecked it would spin off on its own groove without regard to Meg. The Rockwork was autonomous to a point, but it relied on Dog to keep it in line. The music press were in tonight, but there was more than the band at stake. Meg swayed her hips to Dog’s driving cacophony her playful nonchalance creating a tantalizing silhouette to the audience, but taunting Dog behind. Thumbscrews wrenched raw electric scales out of strangled frets.ĭog set her features into maniacal control, sweat already trickling over her bald head, pooling in her eyebrows her arms gleaming pistons at the snare and toms. Hammers rapped on the broken teeth of piano keys. Butchered musical instruments twitched and writhed in a hellish chromed engine of noise.

A machine-gun of rimshots and the lights, and the crowd, exploded.ĭog scowled into the glare of spotlights as the ‘Rockwork’ burst into life around her a kit stretched beyond drums to form an entire robotic band. Cannon-shot beats echoed, overlapped, and swelled like an approaching army. She took a deep breath and kicked a volley of hard thumps into the black. The kit’s blind trust made Dog gulp an urge to up and run. “Come on, Rocky,” she whispered and cogs whirred back at her. Dog brushed trembling fingers over the kit and it twitched around her, jittery. She shuffled in her seat, checked contacts, toggled switches and sensed Meg’s impatience, standing in the dark between the drums and hungry fans. As Meg took her spot out front, they thrummed the darkness with their chanting, “Rock… Work! Rock… Work!”ĭog’s sticks were already slick in her palms as she snapped rubber bands around them. Now Dog’s chest shook worse than her hands, jacked up on the worry of letting her girlfriend down, again. Also mentioned in this episode, treasured author Eugie Foster passed away.ĭog sat at her kit, in the cavernous dark at the back of the stage, with Meg’s kiss chilling on her lips.
