Everybody's Somewhere: This song came together in two parts. I had originally written the main electric piano riff on guitar. I thought it was pretty good but the B part of the song was going nowhere. When I was writing, "Where do we go from here" there was this "Beach Boys" sounding part that I really liked but wasn't really working for the song. So I transposed it and stuck it on the riff to "Everybody's somewhere". I'd always wanted to do a song where I got to bang on a Wurlitzer note like that old Queen song "you're my best friend" so I switched the song to keys.
Where do we go from here?: One night my friend and I went out to a local club to watch some bands. My friend met this woman; Stephanie and she took us for a ride in here 1970's convertible. Some where along the way some one said, "where do we go from here."
The demo of this was really overly happy and campy. So we pulled out the "four on the floor" guitar part and replaced it with a moody electric piano. That was enough to shift it into the right space. The guitar riff was supposed to be a back up vocal melody that Don came up with but it sounded more like brass than vocals to me. It ended up being a guitar and Farfisa.
Now it's up to you to be the ultimate judge, go grab a listen to their songs and see if you agree that this is an exciting new indie release. Samples, tour dates and more about the band can be found here.
