You Were Born to Rise (New Mutant-esque people)
Since Aiden had been forced out from/quit his previous band and the requisite depressed waffling until his mother got him some session jobs as a drummer, his next band bore the brunt of his concentration and will to succeed. Not that they minded. All of them had been cast offs from other bands. Not bad, but not gelling well with the others. Since New Brunswick had a large live music scene, it was only a matter of time until Dire Rainbow pulled together.
They had practiced relentlessly. Sometimes Aiden barely got sleep between practices, New Mutants activities, time with Angel, teaching Zip, and working as a bartender. Thankfully, he needed less sleep than normal human-like people. But it was all about to be worth it, to his mind. They had entered a local contest and made the cut to perform.
They had a half-hour set-list to pull together. Aiden put in some cover songs along with a few songs he had written himself. (He hadn't told his parents about this facet yet. If the songs came out like crap and couldn't get the audience into it, he wouldn't have to claim them in front of a certified popstar and entertainment king.) Aiden had invited his teammates and anyone else he could think of to be at the show. He wanted some support, and possibly somebody to teleport if there were thrown beer bottles.
And they crammed as much rock into that thirty minutes as they possibly could. Thankfully, the lead singer did not wail like Banshee, so everyone still had their eardrums when she went after it. Aiden attacked his drums like he had everything to prove. Mostly because he did. His former band was in the contest as well.

Re: Probably one more ping on this and then we await Bad Things Happening Later in the Thread?
Brianna was what only could be described as a Social Justice Drunk. A few beers and Brianna would give you her platform for her election as Prime Minister along with several ways to fight hunger, end homelessness and combat racism.
Even when the slurring started, she'd be explaining her positions on various issues. It did not help that she was a lightweight. Most times, she declined to drink unless she was in the company of close friends, like Rose and Bobbie...and Kayla.
Kayla, on the other hand, was a fun drunk. They balanced each other out.
