The Show

The most evil band in Eastern Europe. The sleaziest producers in America. And a Devil who just wants everyone to stop calling.

It's the mid-1990s. In the frozen backwoods of Latvia, Frostboner have the corpse paint, the spikes and a four-track demo. They don't have talent, a van that starts or any sense of self-preservation.

Across the Atlantic, Bichota & Xuxo Maria are a pair of washed-up American producers who get handed an impossible job: make the worst black metal band on Earth famous before the label pulls their last advance.

In between, Sister Beretta plays the demo on late-night WSIN FM radio, a fortune teller named Scarlet Graves gets paid to read the band's future (it isn't good), and Lazy Satan can't work out why anyone still worships him.

An adult comedy about ambition, bad decisions and the most sincere terrible music ever recorded.

The Band

Frostboner formed in [year] in [town], Latvia, with one goal: to be the most evil band in the world. So far they're mostly known for noise complaints. Their debut demo, [Demo Title], was recorded in a potato cellar on a borrowed boombox, and they've tape-traded it to anyone who'll take it.

Bichota & Xuxo Maria

The Producers · USA

A sleazy American production duo whose glory days ended with hair metal. One more flop and they're done, so of course they get handed the worst band on the continent. They don't know what black metal is and they can't agree on anything. They'll sell it anyway.

Sister Beretta character cardSister Beretta character cardpublic/press/images/char-sister-beretta.png

Sister Beretta

Graveyard-shift DJ · WSIN FM

A black metal nun who hosts the late-night slot on WSIN FM. She "discovers" the band when their demo shows up in her mailbag, and she plays it on air. Nobody can tell whether it's an act of faith or a punishment.

Lazy Satan character cardLazy Satan character cardpublic/press/images/char-lazy-satan.png

Lazy Satan

The Prince of Darkness · Mostly napping

The Devil is bored. He's had thousands of years of real evil, and now a few Latvians in face paint keep trying to summon him. He doesn't understand why they worship him, and he'd really like them to stop.

Scarlet Graves character cardScarlet Graves character cardpublic/press/images/char-scarlet-graves.png

Scarlet Graves

Fortune teller · On retainer

A witch hired by the production company to find out, once and for all, whether this band will make it. The cards don't lie. She bills for overtime anyway.

Two Worlds

Latvia location stillpublic/press/images/still-latvia.jpg

Latvia

Post-Soviet winter, pine forests, crumbling rehearsal halls and a potato cellar studio. Part of the series is shot on location in Latvia, so the cold is real.

USA / WSIN FM studio stillpublic/press/images/still-usa-wsin.jpg

The United States

Strip-mall label offices, late-night radio and a leased convertible. This is the 1990s American music business at its sleaziest.
