Very soon, probably by my birthday in July - "NEW" OLD FEZZIWIG =The Sun is a Ghost"- this title came to me in a dream- should be NOT AVAILABLE to the "general public"- I'll hand burn 500 to give away to mutants , degenerates, other types of life. My demo from '91 is on streaming, 2016 'Devil Drinks Mint Tea" is only on cd- maybe it will be put up for streaming?I'm not concerned I do this for ME! I suffered for decades for this ROCK- I can only listen to Get Yer Ya Yas and Who's Next so often, I need to create CLASSIC SHLOCK for my own listening pleasure + I "produce" you can knock me ALL DAY, but, I have ENDLESS ART that I can display at a moment's notice.
Alright, since DEVIL DRINKS there have been HUGE changes made to FEZZBAND- I have added TWO stunt guitarists. I NEVER would have done this in the past- I dislike FAT on my R+R- sure I love Yes, Skynyrd, Floyd,........bands with much instrumentation- for my music I want RAW IDIOT ROCKRIFFS with lovely POETIC lyrics. I pretty much decided during the DOWN YEAR to just enjoy my life. Why should I push myself? I am 100 % happy with my life- I could sit on a chair and eat grapes for the rest of my mortal life and still have created more than the average "talker ARTIST.RAH RAH!
June arrived- we were allowed out- we practiced as a 4 man w/ "stunt guitarist #1 who joined EXACTLY two years ago today- we sounded GREAT even after a 6 month layoff. I always brought my OLD FRIEND- from '91- Vince D a great guitarist also to our jams. Many times a member or members couldn't make it so Vince plugged in- we clicked- why not add him also?
The Son is a Ghost should've been done in April 2020--------well, you know-----this is the BEST thing that could've happened. No gigs helped my hands to heal----I'm an IDIOT- I decided that for EVERY show during DEVIL DRINKS tour I would bleed from my picking hand all over my guitar. THIS HURT! My hands are now 100%- and local heathens will probably never see me again LIVE- I want $400,000 for 40 minutes- not kidding- so I'm not holding my breath+ DIVE BARS that I perform for LOVE are gone.
This leaves-THE STUDIO- our place is only 1/4 mile away from my drummer's house where we practice. IT WAS FATE! Jesse and Tony are two OLD HEADS who love analog tape and The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, and Skyn. The walls are loaded with their albums. They "understand" my music-they see beyond the humor and hear my influences=Page+Pete+Tony.
Last Saturday we finished two more GREAT songs=
Spiders in my Stew- written in 2016 during Halloween- HEAVILY influenced by Alice Cooper and my own imagination-it has my version of a gypsy song at the end. The guitar I used was my 1997 Hamer GT w/90's through my Sundown amp straight in- Chris added "effects" with his Dan Armstrong lucite through Fender Deluxe and a wah. My guitar is my fave one from the album because I almost STUNK IT UP! I had chainsmoked a Partagas #4 right before to get my head "light"- I was so "light" that I BUTCHERED the R guitar-------on playback I was thrilled-sounded like live Jimmy Page on a bad night=PERFECT
Lyrics
SPIDERS IN MY STEW
Spiders in my stew repeat 3xs
and I don't know what to do
Spiders in my stew 3xs
Skin is turning blue
Spiders 3x
Living in a Zoo?
Furry legs---in my mouth---dreams unfold----going fast? x2
Repeat Spiders verse 1
Concrete eyes----froggie's breath-----damsels cry---mourn their deaths
then clean -spooky-minor guitar
then my version of Hava Nagila w/hanclaps
End-------------whispered---yooouuuuu must beware the spiders that ----live-----within the stewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-----3xs
Next up my homage to Keith Moon
Very simple song. I played my Mascis JAZZ through my sundown straight in. Then I added "cleanish" Ron Wood era Small Faces guitar- Supro Black Holiday into my RARE Gem "Rick" amp with built in FUZZ on 2 and HEAVY 'verb by Xotic compressor. Tommy Flop, bassist, added acoustic guitar. Vocals are pure rasp----this is our HIT song
Keith Moon
He was born in Wembley Town
As a boy
Skipped around
Beach Boys made his
Favorite sounds-
on drums he loved
TO POUND
Keith Moon 8xs
'orrible OOO were his mates
They played
ENDLESS DATES
The fans
crashed the gates
many met
EARLY FATE
Keith Moon 8xs
Keith tried to quit
The Booze
Pills they gave him
Made him lose
He had finally
Paid his dues
ENDED UP ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS
Keith Moon x2 then TRIPLE SPEED..........car wreck---WHO TYPE BREAKDOWN
Here is the track listing- no filler- ALL GREAT
NOT COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU JULY 2021!
