The Roadies

The Roadies was a street gang led by Paul "Poet" Roche.
==General Information==
The Roadies were a street-level gang based in Los Santos, that focus around music, petty crime, and the acquisition and selling of drugs such as marijuana and Oxycontin. Originally lead by Poet, with support from Head Roadie "Donut"; the Roadies tend to cause general mayhem and mischief, frequently antagonizing the cops of Los Santos or shouting "ACAW!", an acronym referring to 'All Cops Are Wankers!', a song by Poet, when passing by them; as well growing and selling weed to the peoples and other gangs of the area.
The Roadies slowly came to an end over time, fracturing and beginning with the death of Terp Cummins. From there, Poet began touring in Europe, rarely flying in and visiting Los Santos. Thea Everheart ended up on rocky terms with the other Roadies in June 2024, after an incident involving her spilling things to her at the time girlfriend. Charlie Kennedy took over the role of Head Roadie from Donut in June, before eventually going off on her own in July 2024. Thea almost left in July as well, while Skye Forklift and Hiro Takeshi both became inactive members, appearing when they were desperately needed. Nikki Mack left in late August 2024, leaving to travel with Charlie. Roberto Chavez was kicked from the Roadies in August as well, due to his false claims that Thea was a snitch. Donut, Rooster and Thea became the last 3 active members, recruiting Kammy Smith in the process, and began trying to rebuild The Roadies with new leadership and new faces. However the steam ran out quickly and the remaining members called it quits and went their separate ways on September 25th 2024.
They also once tended to hire or ask for the support of John F. Television Jr. and his lackeys to help with their petty crime.
There was no agreed upon uniform, but Poet hoped for "the multitude of colors that is black" as a base uniform color.
==Background Information==
Created by Paul "Poet" Roche, The Roadies started out as just a few fans of Poet and his music. He has slowly gathered more like-minded individuals interested in petty crime and drugs, in the hopes of setting up more organized crime in Los Santos.
The initial members include:
* Paul "Poet" Roche - Leader, Former Member of "Determined to Terminate", and acquaintance of JFTV Jr.
* Duncan "Donut" Masters - Fan of Poet's former music
* Charlie Kennedy - General bad girl who likes getting into trouble with ties to the LSPD through girlfriend, Bambi Daniels
* Hiro Takeshi - Part-Time Hero and Part-Time Member, hoping to not get any felonies on his record, but also just wants to help his friends
==Territory==
The Roadies occasionally hung around the Roach Motel, and The Oasis motel. Though Poet put a proposal in to acquire a business license for the Tequi-La-La, and used it as a permanent base of operations and legitimate business for The Roadies. The Tequi-La-La was, and still is, owned and managed by Thea Everheart, though now is no longer Roadie territory nor a base of operations. 
Poet hoped to transform the bar into a British-style pub, open to the public for the majority of the day, and function as an events and music venue on request. Thea attempted to keep to this, but was unable to follow that path for the business, and opted to instead operate it as a night club/gay bar that hosts events and opens for drinks and food.
