Welcome to the horse house

Summer in the City is a song that explores the highs and lows and stories of life in the city. From feeling like you’re winning in life, to turning a corner to tensions and violence, to dating app cringeworthy dating experiences and the death of David Bowie. It is a playful song that highlights our fickle nature and our scrolling boredom obsession.

LYRICS: Summer in the City

V1. Summer in the city and I'm feeling fine
Oh it's pretty when you're winning and you never ever feel you'll leave the light
Summer in the city and I'm feeling fine

Somewhere in the city someone's losing all control
You'll find the next one that catches the bus they never ever made it home
Turn the corner fall in love, birds and bees and milk and honey until you swipe

Chorus: Hello, Hello (on repeat)

V2. Summer in the city getting dirty, getting itchy feet 
Tensions always building, kicking off in the street
Oh I think I hear the sirens oh I think it's time I leave this all behind

Summer in the city and I'm feeling...

Chorus: Hello, Hello (on repeat)
Kerrie : Really nice to meet you
Angela : Mines a gin and tonic
Kerrie : You've got a lot of baggage
Angela: You're really rather boring
Kerrie: Headed for the dance floor
Angela : Pulling lots of shapes strangely
Kerrie: I need a distraction
Angela: Time to make my exit

V3: Sitting on the sofa watching Netflix on the telly
She's been downing coffee waiting for something to change
Oh he's scrolling through the news bid farewell to the Starman in the sky
Filtering is pretty, pretty fake, pretty obvious
Increase you hadn't noticed

Summer in the City

SIGNS & EXITS

4 track sampler for Bugeye's second album - Produced by Ash Workman and mastered by Katie Tavini. 

This ain't a love song

Indie disco gilttering sounds of 80s synth, punch in the face bass,  buzz saw guitars and sing, shout out loud vocals as your catch of the day.

Electric brings to life and mixes 80s disco with a flavour of 90s guitar bands with a fresh 2019 sound. Featuring catchy hook lines and melodies about the causal nature of modern day love.

ELECTRIC

Somethings About To Change

Disco-punks Bugeye are teasing their debut album with the release of new single Don’t Stop, via independent label Reckless Yes on 28 February 2020. 

Ferocious in their DIY spirit and having drawn comparisons to Sleater-Kinney, been described as a mash-up of Blondie and Pixies, this is disco-meets-Riot Grrrl. Don’t Stop is…

The band said of the track: “Don't Stop is about alcohol abuse and the cyclical state that goes hand in hand with this. It's a downward spiral of fuck ups and promises that tomorrow will be different. It's about the denial of evening having a problem in the first place and the pressure that society and the media put on us to don't stop.”

The band’s debut album, produced by Paul Tipler (Idlewild, Cable, LIINES, Placebo, Elastica) is expected to be released later in 2020 and will be available to Reckless Yes members as well as getting a general retail release.

Lyrics

I know your name
I feel the shame
I plan to see you when I need to stop

I know your name
The mistakes I’ve made 
Time and time again
But I plan to see you when I need to stop 

Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop

I’ll press reset tomorrow
I’ll start a fresh tomorrow
But I plan to see you when I need to stop

DON'T STOP

Welcome to episode 3 of Bugeye's Rock, Pop, Rambles.

They also take a look at the extensive work of session musician, Carol Kaye who has played on some 10,000 records and counting.

New music comes from A VOID and Morning Tourist

Keeping it in the family

On the origins of​ ‘When The Lights Go Out’ ​singer Angela reveals,​“It’s Friday night, at last the working week’s over, and guess what, it was a bit of a shitty week... again. Nothing changed, everything’s the same, so we go out and we drink with our mates to escape it all. Legendary night ​of self-medication, the downward spiral, before the week starts all over again. This song is about depression and using alcohol as a pick me up to freedom, only to find you are trapped in a cycle.”

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT

A deep groove with a dirty grinding bass as the vocals hum and draw you into the song that explodes into a huge chorus. Influenced by the likes of Blondie, Beats International and Kraftwerk, Blue Fire is about an addiction to love, the chemistry that can make you soar, make you sick, fill you with lust & desire that really knocks you for six.

Blue Fire

This week we look at transport themed songs from the likes of Joni Mitchell, 'Big Yellow Taxi' and Gary Numan 'Cars' to Queens 'Bicycle Race'. Expect fluffed lines, awesome music and laugh-out-loud mistakes.

Tales include: The Proclaimers 'I'm gonna be 500 miles', Lush '500 (Shake Baby Shake)', Gary Numan 'Cars', The O'Jays 'Love Train', Tracy Chapman 'Fast Car', Snow Patrol 'Chasing Cars', Ozzy Osbourne 'Crazy Train', Roy Orbison 'I Drove All Night', MIA 'Paper Planes'.

New Music from HYLA 'Dumb' and Bugeye 'Shake and Bake'.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

This week’s theme is songs about masturbation including Cindy Laupers ‘She Bop’, Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks, I touch myself by Divinyls, B.O.B by Macy Gray and Billy Idol’s Dancing with myself. We discuss the back stories to these songs and the impact they had for the bands. From breast cancer awareness to Blue Boy and a few amusing slang terms, this show's packed with some unexpected facts.

We also have lots of new music too. Probably not about masturbation, but songs you really do need to hear, including bands We Three Kings, Dois Padres, Jean Genies Massive Hugs, Hot Wax and Wolfgang Von Vanderghast.&nbsp;
