The year is 1967 and California is swingin' with new music, new ideas and a brand new counter-culture that the adults don't like.
Our story focuses on a rock band of four young men struggling to pay the rent to their beach house, find a gig, and keep up with the supernatural and super trippy adventures they find themselves in.
The Monkees
INDY
Peter Tork - 24, dark blonde hair, brown eyes, 5'9; born in Connecticut raised by parents who would rather not talk about emotions. Peter traveled to New York's Greenwich Village, playing in the hippie-folk scene before leaving for California. A bit clumsy, extremely musically gifted, and terribly naive. Has a tendency to cry easily and is easily upset. He always has the best interests of the band in mind, however sometimes getting them into trouble by accident. More into the hippie scene than the others. Bass, keyboards, banjo, etc, and rarely lead vocals.
CANON THAT NEEDS PLAYERS
Michael "Mike" Nesmith - 23, black hair, brown eyes, 6'1; born in Texas. Occasionally wears a green wool hat (or blue or black sparingly). His father left him, his mother and his younger siblings, forcing him to take the adult role in the household. He knows what responsibility is all about. However not many had much belief in him as a student or in his future, after graduating high school, Mike left for California. Acts as the leader of the group, somewhat serious and a real thinker. The main songwriter of the group. Lead guitar, occasional lead vocals.
George Michael "Micky" Dolenz - 21, dark brown hair, wild curls when not straightened, brown eyes, 6'0; born and raised in LA, Micky knows the town like the back of his hand. Raised by both parents and a few sisters, Micky had a well balanced, happy childhood. He's bouncy, quirky, funny and charming. But also a bit greedy and a little sneaky sometimes, however loyal to his band mates. Has a passion for science. Drummer, lead vocals.
David "Davy" Jones - 19, dark brown hair, brown eyes, 5'3; born in Manchester England, and raised by his grandfather after his parents untimely deaths. Davy's the smallest of the group, and the one who ends up with most of the girls. Smart and quick tempered, loyal and ethical, but slightly egotistical. Loves horses and is a great rider. Percussion (maracas and tambourine, occasional drums) and lead vocals (trading off with Micky usually).
