james potter (lead guitarist and vocals): if i had to pinpoint the moment it all started to get derailed, i would say it was the moment regulus died.
remus lupin (bassist): she [marlene] flew all the way to where we were just to tell him. his brother had been dead for a week. no one in his family had reached out.
peter pettigrew (drummer): lost a major gig for her agency. she didn’t care. it was her way.
james: it was all so fucked up. that same night after our concert we got introduced to the prewet brothers who then got us our first record deal a week later.
remus: he was in flames. i’ve never seen him perform like that.
james: something change that night.
peter: it worked though. got us where we wanted.
okay, hear me out…
a story written in interview format where famous rock band ‘marauders’ explain once and for all why they broke up back in 1981 following the dead of, according to the media at the time, a random groupie.
james, remus and peter have all lost contact with lead singer sirius black.
where is he now?
is he still alive?
and who was the groupie and why did it matter so much as to mark the end of such a promising band?
marlene mckinnon’s name will haunt the narrative much as she did when she was alive.
(i blame daisy jones and the six for this and damiano david cover of ‘ella baila sola’ cause don’t tell that isn’t sirius singing about marlene)
