TEJON STREET CORNER THIEVES - WHISKEY

 TEJON STREET CORNER THIEVES - WHISKEY

Tejon Street Corner Thieves is a band that frequently shows up on my Spotify-playlist.  I can't recall when I first heared of the band but I know it was this song that introduced me to them.

This band, based in Colorado, brings bluegrass music in a very accessible way.  The subjects they sing about are sometimes dark and their lyrics can be very profound but still humor isn't far away.

Whiskey is a song about someone who needs the liquor to ease the inner pain. But it's also about running away from things.  Perhaps it was the liquor that caused the inner pain... but that's only my interpretation.

Just enjoy the song.


 Lyrics :

Well, whiskey come and take my pain
Numb my heart and ease my brain
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!
Whiskey won't you help me hide
This pain I have inside
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!
Don't let me go!!
Well this life that I've been living ain't too easy on the soul
Sometimes you gotta give in and let that whiskey flow
When you're feeling lost, down and low!

Well, whiskey come and take my pain
Numb my heart and ease my brain
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!
Whiskey won't you help me hide
This pain I have inside
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!!
Don't let me go!!

Well this bridge that I've been living under burned into the ground
I've done packed my bags, now I'm leaving town
Ain't no peace or comfort I've found

Well, whiskey come and take my pain
Numb my heart and ease my brain
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!
Whiskey won't you help me hide
This pain I have inside
Oh whiskey, don't you let me go!!
Don't let me go!!

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL Normally I write about a song that caught my attention or that has a special meaning to me but this article is a tribute to this small festival that I had the honor in attending in Croatia's capital Zagreb at the Vintage Industrial Bar This story actually starts in June 2022. While I was watching the amazing band L.H.D.  at the Trash'n'Burn festival in Croatia, I met some great people who were also in a band called Melewai . We started talking, drank some beers and after the festival we stayed in touch. From time to time they released a new song on Bandcamp and I just loved their songs. I promised them that whenever they would play their first live gig I would do my best to be there. And then the news came that Melewai was going to play at the Off The Grid festival, organised by L.H.D. and together with Sumski  and Psycho Mutants . So, keeping my promise, I was there on the 27th of December. Melewai opened the festival and a lot of people did not reall

JERRY MOTOR - MARY

 JERRY MOTOR - MARY Jerry Motor's latest single, "Mary," plunges listeners into a captivating musical experience that resonates with haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of a crossover between Skunk Anansie and Kate Bush, the band delivers a performance that is both powerful and evocative. From the moment the drums kick in, the song establishes a relentless momentum that drives the narrative forward. The pounding and thriving percussion sets the pace, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Each beat feels purposeful, contributing to the overall dynamic of the track. The guitar work in "Mary" is nothing short of mesmerizing. While maintaining a clean tone, it weaves intricate melodies that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended. The haunting quality of the guitar adds depth to the music, creating an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting. However, it's the bass that truly sh

ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW

 ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you Alps..  At The Black Flamingo we really are blessed with the people that come visit us.  No matter how big or small the audience, they give the artists all the attention they deserve.  One day Jesse came over to watch a show here.  I didn't knew who he was but someone pointed out to me that he also was a musician and a songwriter.  After a little research (hurrah for socials) I came across two of his projects, Alps. and CYNN' (more about CYNN' later, I'm sure). For me Alps. is more than songs.  When I close my eyes while listening to them I can almost feel the scenery passing by.  Want You Now in particular makes me feel like being somewhere on a mountain pasture (Alps.?) and it's my perfect waking up song after a stressy week or a heavy night. I already had the privilege to see them perfom live and what a show that was ! Go check them out if you get the chance.
