Roles in Cutscenes[]
She is shown sitting at a coffee shop enjoying a cup of tea when her wristwatch beeps, telling her that she and her band mates are needed. She is then shown sitting at the band's private jet waiting for Marcus Fretshredder, Matty Cannz, and Riki Lee. She looks up and sees them appearing on the horizon, hurrying to meet up with her as they have no time to lose. The intro cuts back to the stage where Lou is hypnotizing people with the sound of a man playing a clarinet. Riki shoves the clarinet player off the stage and the band gets ready to rock. Lou shakes his fist in anger and disappears in a flash of red light. Marcus, Shirley, Matty and Riki play their first notes, freeing the audience members from their hypnotic trance and the crowd cheers for them.
Bass intro[]
Instead of showing a flashback of her childhood, it shows her fantasizing herself alone on stage, playing a song and being cheered by the fans, but then she snaps back to reality and notices singer and guitarist who get all the attention.
She pulls a tab from a pinboard advertising a band in need of a bassist.
Band Ending[]
When Matty Cannz gets arrested, Riki, Marcus, and Shirley go their separate ways. Lou gives her a contract for her solo career.
Bass ending[]
She appears at a recording studio, singing, playing drums, guitar, and bass as her solo album and finally at the entrance of the concert, fans cheer for her, and she holds a bag of money with Lou behind the camera posing as a reporter.
Guitar ending[]
Marcus Fretshredder is shown sitting on a throne resembling the headstock of a guitar, reading a newspaper, surrounded by women in red dresses. The newspaper shows Matty Cannz in an explosion, the destruction of a statue of Riki Lee, the picture that shows Shirley Crowley with a sack of money and finally, Marcus receives a phone call from Shirley before dejectedly rolling his eyes.
Trivia[]
- Her name could be a reference to Sheryl Crow, Shirley Manson (Garbage) or Aleister Crowley (which may seem coincidental, since Ozzy Osbourne's song "Mr. Crowley", made in his honor, is featured in the game).
