Tad smiled lightly and nodded, "I love that song, but my favorite is If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn. The other band is basically a bunch of guys who were in other bands that got mashed together by a record company. You know the Chiodos, right? Their original frontman, Craig Owens is the frontman for D.R.U.G.S." He smiled, "Good, I really hope you like us, if not, don't feel obligated to tell me that you like it, we're definitely fine with it if you don't." He smirked and glanced out through the greenroom. "We set up after their set is over. So in about ten, maybe fifteen?" He shrugged.

Molly nodded, she had listened to them before. "You know your music," You commented, it sounded like he knew what he was talking about. "I'll have to listen to them sometime." She took another look around the room, trying to occupy her mind. She brought her eyes back to his and grinned, "I'm sure I'll love it." She told him. If not, you'll be hot onstage, and I can enjoy that view. She laughed to herself at that thought. "So, Mr. Mechanic extraordinare, what else do you do besides getting greasy and playing bass in your super cool band?" She asked with teasing is her eyes, but she really did want to know.

Tad smiled at her and shrugged, "Have you ever heard of Alternative Press Magazine? I've got a subscription, I can't get enough. I read it through as soon as i get it. There was an article about D.R.U.G.S. in one of the more recent ones. Their first album just came out." He watched her look around and took the the opportunity to truly appreciate what she was wearing. Damn did she look hot, his mouth was almost watering. She looked back and he immediately looked back at her eyes. He shrugged at her question, "Well, I skateboard... We all do, actually. Great way to let off steam." He shrugged lightly, "And uhm, I like restoring motorcycles. I mean, I'm not really doing a project at the moment, because I don't have a garage, but I love it." He gave a weak, semi-stupid smile and shrugged again, "What about you? What do you like to do aside from taking your son to the park and overheating your car?"

Molly listened to him speak about the magazine, and smiled. She made a note to keep it around the house, that was if she saw him again anyway. She hoped so. She smirked when she caught him staring at her, glad she had made a wise choice in clothing. "A lot of my cousins skateboard." She said, the mother in her often got scared of all the stunts she had seen them do over the years. Motorcycles?!? Oh jesus... I'm in for it now... He WILL be the death of me. She looked at him, and he eye held his. A small smile spread across her face. "I'll have you know..." She scoffed playfully. "If that car wouldn't have overheated, I never would have gone to Jake's today." Her scoff morphed into a smile at the memory of him, all greasy. "I'm a writer. I'm also in school to get my masters in English." She figured she would tell him more later, but she glanced at the clock, and noticed the time.

Tad grinned at her as she scolded him for his teasing. “Yeah, yeah. I think it’s because you knew I worked there so you did it on purpose,” he said teasingly. He licked his lips as she told him what she was going to school for. “That’s awesome. So you could be a famous author one day. I won’t be surprised if I see your name on the bestsellers list now.” “Hey loverboy!” Jude hollered. “Time for you to help us set up, you can make google eyes at Blondie later!” Tad shot him a glare and looked back at Molly, “Time to go on. See you in the crowd?” he asked, giving her a wink before he stood and disappeared onstage to help set up. They started their sound check and finished quickly. Soon enough they were ready to start. The boys started clapping, aside from Axle who was hitting his sticks together as Ansley started the song “Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh oh.” She continued to sing and the drums came in along with bass as Jude continued his clapping. “I’m making all my own plans, throwing all my old ones away. Gotta grow up be someone, find a map draw a path, take a breath and run.” They continued on with their opening song and got to the bridge, “I am trying to get past this, be better than I once was. Tired of waiting on someone else. I am trying to get past this, be better than I once was. Tired of waiting on someone else, I can fix it by myself.” She leaned over as she sang the next part., “I’m finally taking a stand!” She grinned as she stood back up and continued her song. “Run, run, run, run…” She grinned out at the crowd which was a bit bigger than usual tonight and she smiled. “Hey Riverside! How ya doin’ tonight?” she asked. “So most of you know us, have seen us before. We’re Midwest Traffic and we’re glad you made it out tonight!” She smiled at the few screams that came up. “Thanks guys. Those are our two fans,” she joked.

Molly giggled and nodded at Tad and after they hand left, she got up to go find her place in the crowd. She made her way to the front, which was surprisingly easy. Before the set started, she got settled. A few guys tried to start up conversations with her, she remained polite but disinterested. She's bet that all she had to do is tell them she had a kid, and they would leave her alone. When she heard the song began, she clapped her hands along to the beat. When Ansley began to sing, it brought a grin to her face. She really had a beautiful voice. Molly screamed when she spoke to the crowd, her eyes not on Ansley, but on Tad.

Tad shot Molly a wink when she screamed, but Ansley remained in full-stage-mode. "Alright, this next song is one written by our guitarist, Jude and this will be the first time we've played it live, so we hope you like it, it's called I'd Rather Be Alone, it goes a lot like this," The music started slow and she very quickly started singing, at the very beginning. "Well I'll be fine, just laying here tonight. Thinking about the world." The drums started up and she grinned as she felt it a little more. She really loved performing this song, as the chorus hit she started jumping. "Tell me what you meant when you said you missed me! Tell me what you felt when you dared to kiss me! Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! I'd rather be alone!" Soon enough, that song was over too, leaving Ansley grinning out at the crowd. "So it turns out there are a lot of firsts going on for Midwest Traffic tonight. This next song was written by our bassist, Tadeus Richard Mayes, the fourth," she said, using a deeper tone of voice as she said 'the fourth'. "Why don't you talk about it Tad?" Smiling he looked over the crowd and stepped up to the mic, "Alright, well, this song is called ' That Girl' and I wrote it about this girl that ah-- well... why don't you just listen?" Ansley smiled, "Point is, he's going to sing it, because, honestly, it's not okay for a chick to sing this song."

Molly grinned and watched the stage, they really gave a good performance. She had wondered why she had never heard of them before, and why they hadn't made it big. They definitely had the talent to do so. She grinned like a manic when she learned that he would be singing. When the song began, she closed her eyes, and rested against the gate. Molly let his voice wash over her, giggling softly to the words. The song was funny, and cute in a sad way. She hoped that the song wasn't written about an experience he had, but because of jealousy, but of anger towards 'that girl'. She opened her eyes at the end of the song, smiling, and watched him. He had a very good voice, and wondered why he spoke down about it.

"That girl, that girl, she's such a trick, but I can't lie I'm in love with it," he sang lightly before he started laughed. "God, that's a weird song to sing," he said grinning like a moron. Ansley nodded, "Yeah, imagine if I tried to sing it," she said with a laugh. She turned back to the crowd, "Alright, guys, we've got two more songs left in the set and I have a feeling you're gonna know the last one. The first song they sang was called ' Can't Slow Down' But the second song was one that if you've ever seen a certain Will Smith movie you would know. When they were finished, Ansley thanked the audience once more and then they were done and they started to move their equipment to prepare for the next act.

Molly loved the beat to the last song, it was great. When the set was over, she walked, or rather strolled through the crowd, which had dispersed slightly. A few guys whistled at her, and she rolled her eyes and flipped them the bird. She had made her way backstage and looked around for the band, smiling at a few of the people who waved at her. She stopped and ran over to a guy she knew, and greeted him excitedly. "Andy? Wow! It's been so long!" The man gave her a hug, and stepped back to take in her form. He whistled lowly, and gave her an over exaggerated wink. She laughed at him. "Damn girl. You've grown up." Molly laughed at him before shoving his shoulder playfully. "How are Faith and Daisy?" She asked of the man's wife and daughter. She had known the couple in high school, he was a sound guy and figured he worked here. "They're great. Faith is pregnant again. Twin boys." He groaned comically. Molly grinned, "Awww! Well, I should go and find Tad," She said, "It was good to see you. Tell Faith to give me a call." Molly leaned in to kiss his cheek, and turned to go find Tad.

Once they'd cleared the stage Tad explained about the bar and they all agreed that it was a great plan. He made his way backstage to find Molly. He spotted her from a mile away and whistled, "Yo girl! Girl! What'cho name is?" he hollered before he made his way over, hoping she wouldn't criticize him for it once he made it over to her. He grinned once he did, "How'd you like the show?" he asked, hoping she'd liked it at least a little. "The crew decided that they would like to go to your brothers bar. I know I already promised you we would, but I could only guarantee me and Axle. Anyway, we're ready whenever you are."

Molly grinned when she spotted Tad walking towards her and he was ear shot, she giggled. "Really?" She shook her head, laughing. "It was amazing!" She gushed, "I totally loved it. You guys have such an amazing stage presence." She nodded at him, giving him a smile. She pulled out her phone, texting Cole to tell him the whole crew was going to be at the bar. "Gotta inform brother bear." She giggled, thinking of the teddy bear joke he had made earlier in the day. Molly turned to wave at Andy, before turning back to Tad. "Wanna ride in the hot chickmobile?" She asked him with a giggle. She was taller with the heels she had on, and she didn't feel so dwarfish standing next to her form.

Tad grinned, "Why thank you. We just have a good time and hope people like it," he said with a smile and a shrug. He chuckled at her 'brother bear' joke. "Alright, well now that he knows I guess were off? Let me load up Axle's van first and then I'll ride over with you and they can follow? If that's alright with you," he said, raising a brow at her. "So if it's called the 'hot chickmobile, though are there usually other or chicks in it with you or is it always just you? Because if there are usually more Axle's free and open," he teased lightly. He smiled again as she waved at Andy, "Oh, you know the sound guy? He's pretty cool isn't he?"

Molly giggled, and nodded. She happy to be alone with him again, even if it were for a short amount of time. "Nope, I'm the only one who has been in the car regularly." She shrugged, "Yeah, he's amazing. I've known him for years. I had no idea he worked here. His wife is one of my closest friends." Molly smiled at Tad, "Had no idea they had moved here." She looked around, again. She wanted to familiarize herself with the set up. "So, I'll meet you outside?" She asked him, looking back up at his face. "Oh, and you do have a pretty voice." Molly giggled, and took a few steps away from him, looking at him over her shoulder and shooting him a wink. She headed towards the door, blowing a kiss to Andy on her way.

Tad grinned at her giggling and nodded, "That's cool, I just met him at our last show, but he seems like an awesome guy. But yeah, I'll be out in a sec." He walked back to his band and helped them as they carried their equipment out back to the van and they all climbed in. They drove out to the front where Tad made his exit and went to find Molly by her car. He smiled at her, "And thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed my voice."
