We are playing the Lakeside Lounge on Friday April 9. At Ed’s request, we’ll be playing “The Empire Falls” off of our album “Low”.
It’s one of three songs on that record that begin with the word “Don’t”.
It’s also one of the bunch of songs that I wrote in a weekend flurry of songwriting. Most of those songs ended up on Low. I’d recently gotten married, but at the same time it seemed like the rest of the world was falling apart politically. The whole record deals with that issue, but particularly this song. I’m kind of proud of both verses:
Don’t talk..Don’t say a word…I’m so sick of the government…sick of talking about the government…sick of thinking about the government…I just want you.
Don’t fret…Don’t worry your mind..If the sky will fall, let it go…when it crashes down we’re sure to know…so put a record on the stereo and stay right here.
I’ll post the early demo in the next few days.

Here’s an acoustic demo of the song “The Last of Your Kidnapped Brides”. A lovely full band version of this appears on our CD Low. This one suffers from the absence of the B3, the Pigeon Club’s beautifully out of tune piano, and Mia Riddle’s backing vocals, but the general structure of the song remains unchanged.
I wrote the song after seeing a documentary about these women in Uzbekistan who are kidnapped and forced to marry. The documentary looked out how many of the women eventually settle into their marriages and end up relatively happy. In the end, they allow their own daughter’s to continue the cycle. The lyric is intended to be a daughter addressing her mother as the moment of her kidnapping approaches.
Next upload will feature Jim Kaznosky on vocals!

Here is a home demo of “Home To You”, which was later re-recorded as the opening track from our CD “Low”.

Way back in 2003 or so, we went to record our demo at the Pigeon Club in Hoboken, NJ. We hadn’t been playing together for very long. Some of us had never been in a recording studio before. We recorded 5 songs live in one day and used that demo to hustle gigs around NYC. We sound nervous on the recordings, but there’s a certain charm to the session.
Here is one of the songs. It’s called Girls in Skirts. We still play it, but it’s become much looser and noisier than this version.
