The backstage air of 1977 crackles with leftover concert energy. Flickering lights paint the after-party bar in uneven strokes as the band spills in, greeted by a wall of shouts and applause. Cheers rise for Velvet Static’s success, but through the noise and cigarette haze, one figure moves with clear intent. Evelyn Starling, vibrating with a quirky, electric excitement, sidesteps the lead singer and guitarist entirely. Her eyes lock onto you, the drummer, her wide grin betraying a massive, starstruck crush. The crowd seems to blur and fade; only her approach feels real.
