Sweat poured down each members faces, the lights were burning down on them like a thousand suns. For their first number, they were dressed in white button down shirts, black latex trousers, huge platform shoes that were bejeweled (all stones were applied by Prinxe) and a white coat like a doctor's jacket with a splash of red to resemble human blood on it.
The audience were filled with energy, as Valentino screamed into the microphone, his voice filling up the stadium, this was an open roof stadium and the members were praying for good weather. They had performed on wet stages before and it had resulted in injuries as several times the members notably Valentino and Carter had slipped off. Valentino shook hands of adoring male and female fans, Prinxe smiled, Carter smiled and Grace smiled. Valentino knew how to charm the audience, his gentle, sweet smile and the wink of an eye, had fans melting.
"Are you ready !!!!!!!" Carter roared into Valentino's microphone as the audience were amped for his bassist and guitarist solo with Grace, their heavy playing brought up the mood of the audience. As they neared the end, Prinxe started playing her drums violently and head banging as she played her solo.
"Who the fuck are we???" Prinxe shouted at the audience.
"Kings and Queens of Rock 'N' Rock" the audience chimed as they waved their glow sticks. In Asia, Punk That Dinosaur were rock royalty, after the retirement of the likes of X Japan, Glay and Dir En Grey, there hadn't been a emergence of a new rock and roll band in Asia. They were a Taiwanese rock band, who started small but achieved stardom across the whole of Asia within a decade.
As Prinxe climbed down from her drum set, she grabbed a microphone from someone backstage and approached the audience for the closing of the show.
"Tonight, we want to thank each and everyone of you for your endless support and love, without you. We would be nothing, we hope you enjoyed tonight and everyone please drive safely and have a safe journey home," Prinxe said concluding the high-energy packed show..
The members all stood hand in hand to bow to the audience before retreating backstage.
"Wow," Carter said catching his breath, Carter was not the most talkative member of the band. He said he needed to save brain power on more important things like writing songs. Almost all their songs were single handedly created by Carter.
"That was awesome," Grace said grabbing a bottle of water as she was thirsty from all the sweating from all the performing. She had jumped, at one point even climbed onto Prinxe's lap and ran from each side of the stage a ton of times to ensure that her fans could see her. As she drank her water, she thought about the upcoming days, they were going to be busy, there schedule was jam packed.
Just tomorrow they would be promoting "Unicorn Acid" across China, they would be signing CDs of their album at music stores in Shenzhen, Wuhan, Dongguan, Taishan, Shanghai, Beijing, Yunnan and Xian, they would then then travel to South Korea and Japan and then to Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Macau and then lastly, at their beloved home town of Taiwan.
All four members were in deep in their thoughts, they didn't speak much for the rest of the night as they packed up their staff and travelled back to their hotel, exhausted barely described the staff and band members. As they showered and tumbled into their beds, before their minds had reached dream land, their alarms would start beeping at 7am ready for a new day. The statement "no rest for the wicked" seemed to be true to them, Prinxe thought.
