Ok, two more videos from Super Art Fight VI and then we’ll move on. This has been a fun way to introduce some of the songs that are being recording in the studio for the next album, Boneslinky! So far I’m really siked about all of the new material.

Bitchmade!

“Bitchmade!” is sort of like the flip side of “Big Fist.” It started as an old man’s first person lament against the modern-ness of today’s male.  I get in these crazy moods some days and record demos that sound like this:

In the video, you’ll see that we’re launching kazoos out into the crowd. This gimmick spawned from our children’s band The Hilltop Hightops, and has ended up being a staple of our Flute Squad “office parties.” Mike “Cap’n Mediocrity” Bennett, confessed to me later in the night that he had accidentally nailed someone right in the face with a kazoo. So, yeah, if you come to a show HEADS UP.

TRAM

“TRAM” is one of a few genre-bending tracks on the new album.  It’s decidedly non-rock in an album full of pretty hard rock tunes.  What’s missing from the live version is this sweet Coldplay-meets-MIDI piano track.  TRAM is definitely a NEW new-tune, meaning we haven’t played it out for too long. We’re still working out some of the kinks.

Alot of people have already asked me what the fuck this song is about. I think it’s a bit self-explanatory. It deals with our obsession of Disney, Epcot, Dire Straits, and the phenomenon where wild amusement meets order.
