This album was a true labor of love, recorded by a group of musicians who are not only artists, but good friends. Although the grooves will make your heads bob, and your feet tap, the lyrics are not throw away mindless pap, or esoteric psycho-babble, but thought provoking themes that groove. The music deals with todays basic truths, love lost, love found, self destruction. Some of the songs have a humorous side, some just good fun. The best thing I can say about this Album is that it is fresh, in a "NouveauRetroPop", kind of way. What exactly is "NouveauRetroPop"? That's the way we describe our music. Imagine if you will some of the great soul bands of the 70's and 80's, recorded with state of the art equipment, with the drummer triggering outrageous samples, killer effects, a bad ass guitarist,who is equally comfortable with funk, pop, or rock, a bassist who has recorded and played with some of the greatest names in music, throw in a little "Pain", Shampén that is, and you've got "NouveauRetroPop".

1.) WHEN I FIRST MET THE GIRL, SHE WAS FINE AS SHE COULD BE,
YOU KNOW HER WALK, HER TALK, HER CLASSY, CLASSY STYLE,
WAS STRICKLY HIGH SOCIETY;
SHE STARTED LIVING THE LIFE IN THE JET STREAM,
COULDN'T TELL REALITY FROM A BAD DREAM;
YOU KNOW SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND COULDN'T JUMP BACK,
SHE RODE THAT WHITE WITCH, STRAIGHT TO THE EXTREME
YOU KNOW SHE, CRACKED UP!, SHE RAN OUT OF TIME,
SHE JUST, CRACKED UP!, SHE DID TOO MANY LINES,
THE GIRL JUST, CRACKED UP, SHE COULDN'T READ THE SIGNS,
SHE JUST CRACKED UP, AND LOST HER MIND;
2.) SHE HAD A LOT OF PRETTY BOYS, THAT USED TO KEEP HER COMPANY,
THEY USED TO BUY HER PRETTY CLOTHES, AND CANDY FOR HE NOSE, SHE LIVED A FAIRY TALE LIFE FOR FREE,
BUT THE HIGH PRICED ROCK, CAUSED MAXIMUM SHOCK, TO HER MIND, HER BODY AND HER SOUL,
SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND COULDN'T JUMP BACK, AND THEY LEFT HER, WHEN THE ROCK TOOK CONTROL; GO TO BRIDGE
3.) YOU KNOW I SAW HER JUST THE OTHER DAY, SHE USED TO BE SUCH A LOOKER,
SHE WAS HEADED FOR THE ROCKHOUSE WITH HER HARD EARNED PAY, MONEY MADE FROM BEING A HOOKER;

YOU KNOW SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND NEVER JUMPED BACK,
SHE LOST HER BEAUTY, THEN SHE LOST HER MIND; GO TO BRIDGE
1.) YOU BROKE MY HEART, AND MADE ME SO BLUE,
IT HURT EVEN MORE, CAUSE I OPENED UP TO YOU,

BUT UNTIL THE DAY ARRIVES, WHEN YOUR I.O.U. COMES DUE,
HERE'S.......... A............TEAR.........FROM ME TO YOU;

SOME ONE TWICE AS SMART, WILL TEAR YOUR HEART APART,
