Summary
Adora Anderson (bass, vocals) and Catra Lopez (guitar, vocals) used to front the best band you've never heard of, Columbus Ohio's own Demolition Boys. Not quite Riot Grrrl, not quite grunge, but full of the attitude of both and their very own insanity, their music was always on the cusp of breaking into the mainstream. But it never did, and now, in 2004, both Catra and Adora have long since parted ways. Until an ambitious concert promoter, Mermista Mehta, finds them both in Chicago and tries to get them to bring the band back together.
This is the Sex Drugs and Rock'n'Roll AU, set amid the indie rock boom of the early 2000's and the smouldering wreckage of the grunge era of the 90's. This fic is told in a combination of normal narrative prose (primarily from Adora's POV) and interviews, articles and music reviews covering several decades. Real people will be referred to but not appear in the fic. No rock stars were harmed in the making of this fan fic, though some music critics will be mocked.
This is a Catradora fic with other relationships in the background and in the past. Polyamory is also a factor here, but any pairings will occur with the agreement of all parties. No cheating.
