Okay, so, general plotting info:

Jesus "Jesse" Marquez was friends with Kinji since they were kids, so it was not surprising they started a band together in high school, that would eventually become the Shooting Stars. Jacob was a part of the band, too, in the very early years before the earrings, but he never got along well with Kinji. He and Jesse not only played together, but also had a clandestine romantic relationship. They were both pretty hot tempered, and so a messy break-up and parting of ways was inevitable, especially because Jesse refused to ever naysay Kinji out of loyalty. Jacob left the band to be on his own for awhile, and eventually joined Phillip's band for his own reasons.

When he and Jesse ran into each other recently, Jesse was happy to see an old friend, and someone he could complain to about the direction the band was taking. He told Jacob that Kinji was now band manager, and they have a new front man who's taking things in a direction he's not sure he likes. A little harmless bitching has led to a couple of jam sessions, and now Jesse's not so sure about his place in the band - he loves his best friend, but he's always wanted to go in a grittier, less flashy direction, and Jacob is making him question his choices.

Sounds good to us if the others like it!

I like it! :D It'd definitely be a super interesting thing if it came up in-Jaunt. I reckon Kinji would probably be willing to compromise, but at the same time a different direction would be a Big Thing for the band, and he has to look at things from that managerly perspective too.
