The Pitch

February 5, 2024January 16, 2023 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is talking to his old bandmate Gary, who says to Noah, " So Dave's lost his voice and can't do the show on Saturday. You in?" Noah sighs and replies, "Dunno, Gary. I'd like to, but Ruth hates Marilyn Manson. That's why I had to quit the band." Gary rolls his eyes and says, "Oh, c'mon! Live a little." Noah scowls and says, "Ruth would kill me." Gary sneers and retorts, "You gotta stop letting your ol' ball and chain tell you what to do."Noah rolls his eyes and shrugs his shoulders, saying, "One could say the same thing about my ol' bandmates."

  It’s true that Noah and Ruth first met at one of Noah’s old Marilyn Manson tribute band gigs, but it didn’t take long before Ruth put an end to Noah’s Antichrist Superstar impersonation days.

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad

Ursula seizes the opportunity to get homework answers while Noah is distracted helping his drummer set up for rehearsal.

Ursula might have gotten a wrong answer from Noah, but at least she didn’t have to bother Googling the answers.

Mr. Dressup

January 26, 2024October 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Glen are talking at the beginning of the Battle of the Tribute Bands gig before either has gone onstage. Glen is wearing his usual: a grey t-shirt, dark jeans, and his signature red bandana headband. Noah is dressed up like Bono (a mishmash of early 90s Fly-era Bono with the big black shades and shiny black leather jacket and pants with early 2000s touches like the open black shirt and cross necklace baring his hairy chest), with his normally curly hair straightened and slicked back. Glen scowls and says, "Playing Mr. Dressup Again, eh, Thorsen?" Noah smiles and replies, "The better to beat your arse tonight, Glen." We see they are up on a mezzanine balcony in the venue and the opener, a Tina Turner tribute act called Steamy Tina is performing in the background to a packed crowd. Glen retorts, "Pfft! Not a chance! It's about the music, not a costume." Noah grins and shoves Glen back, saying, "Ha! The costume is what makes a tribute band. Now, may the best Irishman win!" Glen scowls and responds, "You're not from Ireland, Thorsen, you're from Flin Flon!" Unfazed, Noah replies, "Still." Glen is furious and shakes his fist in the air, yelling, "I have more Irish blood than you!" Noah is still grinning and walking away as he tell Glen, "Don't be a sore loser, Glen."

  Noah seems to think the flatiron is the key to battle-of-the-tribute-bands glory. To be fair, I used to know someone who played in a few tribute bands and a lot of dudes agree with Noah that you have to dress the part as well as sound the part… but there’s definitely a large contingent … Read moreMr. Dressup
