Bang a Gong (Get It On) -
In the mid 2020s, Austin is reshaped by the Lone Star Initiative, transforming from a car dominated city into a dense transit driven tech hub powered by global investment and smart infrastructure. Trams replace gridlock, mixed use districts rise, and electric vehicles define the streets. Beneath the progress, the city quietly rewrites the lives of those who once called it home.
The story follows a man returning to this transformed Austin, where chance pulls him into a crowded shopping mall hosting a live performance by an indie rock band, Red Line Riot. On stage is Grace, his former girlfriend, now the band’s lead vocalist, commanding the crowd with raw electrifying energy.
As she performs a blistering cover of “Bang a Gong (Get It On),” their eyes meet across the noise and motion of the crowd. For a brief moment, the past resurfaces, unfinished emotions, shared memories, and the weight of what was lost.
But the performance doesn’t stop. Grace drives the band into their original track “Keep Austin Weird,” pulling herself back into the present as the city pulses forward around them.
Austin has evolved into something new, but so have they. In the tension between memory and momentum, the question lingers: in a city rebuilt for the future, can anything from the past still be reclaimed?

The lights drop for a split second.
Then—snap.
The stage ignites again like a circuit coming alive.
A sharp guitar riff cuts through the air first, bright and metallic, followed immediately by a bassline that lands low and heavy in the chest. The drums haven’t fully entered yet, just tension building in the silence between beats.
Grace stands at the center of the stage.
One hand grips the microphone. The other hangs loose for a moment, like she’s waiting for the exact right breath of the room. Her eyes aren’t scanning the crowd anymore—they’re locked somewhere distant, like she’s already inside the song.
Then the drums hit.
Clean. Perfect. Final.
And she starts.
“🎵 Well, you’re dirty and sweet—”
Her voice is almost restrained at first, controlled, intimate. It pulls the entire room inward. The noise of the mall, the crowd, the world—everything tightens around that single line.
Then she leans into it.
“🎵 Clad in black, don’t look back and I love you—”
The band locks in harder. The guitar rises, shimmering and sharp. The bass thickens underneath like a pulse. The energy is no longer waiting—it’s moving.
Grace steps forward, right to the edge of the stage.
“🎵 You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah—”
That’s when the crowd starts to wake up. Heads nod. Feet shift. The rhythm spreads through the audience like heat.
The drums push a little harder.
The guitar riff snaps again, more aggressive now.
She breathes once—quick, controlled—and drives into it.
“🎵 Well, you’re slim and you’re weak—”
Now it’s fully alive. The intro is gone. The song is no longer arriving.
It’s already running.

The Lone Star Initiative had transformed Austin in ways few could have predicted. What began as a contentious redevelopment push in the early 2010s, heavily criticized by progressive groups chanting “Keep Austin Weird,” finally broke ground in 2020 after years of delays and shifting political winds. Inspired by the successful Bay Rise Initiative in San Jose, Redwood City, and Milpitas which had earned the nickname “Triple Cities” for its high density housing revolution and New York’s own Revival Project, Austin embraced a more measured approach. Strict zoning laws were partially relaxed, focusing on medium density housing across most neighborhoods while reserving true high density development for the downtown core. Mid rise condos and mixed use buildings rose steadily, creating vibrant new districts that balanced growth with the city’s unique character.
Nautlix Inc. played a central role once again. Just as in California and New York, every new condo incorporated GPSIS modules for smart infrastructure integration. The Austin city government enthusiastically adopted the system citywide. While Texas had not yet built a Teelium deuterium fusion plant like California’s rapid Diablo Canyon scale projects, the state had recently signed a massive contract for a mega grade facility twice the size. Governor George Ellis openly acknowledged the timeline challenges:
“We’ve contracted with Nautlix Inc. for the fusion plant, but given its scale, it could take a decade or more. Until then, we’ll keep building and running natural gas plants to meet demand.”
True to form, Texas leaned on its abundant natural gas resources, expanding gas fired capacity as a bridge while the fusion project slowly moved forward. Korean giant Samsung, already operating a major fab in Austin’s suburbs, invested further in the initiative, recognizing the infrastructure upgrades would benefit its operations. Tesla, now headquartered in Austin, also joined as a key participant alongside numerous other investors and tech firms.
Public transit received massive funding, modeled after Bay Rise. Light rail and tram lines crisscrossed the growing city, easing the rush hour congestion that had worsened with the influx of newcomers from across the country. Mixed use commercial buildings sprouted up, fueling startup activity and neighborhood revitalization.
Six years on, the changes were unmistakable. Medium density condos and mini apartments filled former low rise zones. Trams and light rail hummed along dedicated corridors, gradually taming traffic snarls. The new shopping districts had become hotspots for University of Texas students. With Texas and even parts of the Mojave transformed through large scale terraforming into grasslands, lamb had become a everyday staple. Doner kebabs and similar dishes surged in popularity, eclipsing traditional Tex Mex in many circles. The city also boasted the highest concentration of electric vehicles in Texas, thanks to widespread Open Chargers and Tesla Superchargers.
You park your Tesla Model 3 in the sprawling lot of one of the new shopping malls. The space is packed with EVs of all kinds, pickup trucks once the undisputed kings of Texas parking lots are now vastly outnumbered. Rapid chargers line the stalls, their indicator lights glowing softly.
You step out, lock the car, and head inside. The mall’s central atrium buzzes with energy. True to Austin’s reputation as the Live Music Capital, a stage has been set up for a performance. An indie ground band called Red Line Riot is midway through their set. The lead vocalist grips the microphone, sweat glistening under the lights, delivering a powerful cover of T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong (Get It On).”
"🎵 Well, you’re dirty and sweet" "🎵 Clad in black, don’t look back and I love you" "🎵 You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah" "🎵 Well, you’re slim and you’re weak" "🎵 You’ve got the teeth of the hydra upon you" "🎵 You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl"
"🎵 Get it on, bang a gong" "🎵 Get it on" "🎵 Get it on, bang a gong" "🎵 Get it on"
The crowd sways and sings along. A few people in the audience wear faded “Keep Austin Weird” T shirts, nodding along with ironic smiles.
You recognize her immediately. Grace. Your ex girlfriend. The one you fought with, the one things simply stopped working with. She belts out the lyrics with the same raw energy you remember from years ago, the song you both used to play on repeat, both the original T. Rex version and the Ministry cover.
"🎵 Get it on, bang a gong" "🎵 Get it on" "🎵 Get it on, bang a gong" "🎵 Get it on"
The final notes ring out. The audience erupts in applause and cheers. Grace wipes sweat from her brow, breathing hard, but her eyes scan the crowd. They land on you. For a moment she pauses, chest still heaving, seemingly unbothered by the exhaustion.
Red Line Riot launches into their own track “Keep Austin Weird.” The guitar riff kicks in, driving and gritty. Grace steps back to the mic, voice strong and unfiltered as the band builds behind her.
You stand there among the cheering crowd, watching the woman you once knew pour herself into the performance, the transformed city humming with life all around you.
