Another work in progress from some of our last home recordings at the end of last year. This song came to me in a dream, David Bowie was like a lounge singer/waiter or something in a restaurant I was eating in, and was just singing "Hoola Deranged" to that melody. It was perplexing. He then spilled water on me.

Clinton Degan: vocals, guitar; Frank Hegyi: drums, SPD11, percussion; Maxwell Butler: piano, organ, theremin; Curtis Killian: guitar, vocals; Abram Taber: bass;

Recorded at home with initial engineering by Luke Sullivan.

Lyrics by Curtis, Degan and Frank:

hoola deranged

queen of the strange
a fish in the drain
yeah she's all of these things

you've got nothing in your brain
just mechanical pain
an expensive display

yeah you might be insane
or partly unchained
i think god made you that way

come on on
come on on
come on
 
hoola deranged

perpendicular plane 
beezelbub's play
in a backgammon game

yokahoma by train
see the hoofchamber maid
in her bilbo beret

little peach giant james
peanut butter in flames
with a side of raisins

come on on
kimono
kimodo
comode

hoola deranged

vernacular saint
elbow scratchy with grain
and a new coat of paint

the ol' in out of phase
put you back in your plaze
in a cortizone daze

forget what i say
just be on your way
with the hoola deranged

Hoola Deranged

A Rock & Roll song about throwing yourself out of a window.

Defenestrated

A song written about a game invented during the World Cup of 2010 (think vuvuzuela + wiffleball). Ancient work-in-progress, mixed last summer with Boston's own omnipresent Luke Sullivan.

Featuring: 
Luke Sullivan (drums, engineering & mixing) of Left Hand Does http://lefthanddoes.bandcamp.com/ and 800 other bands

Jean Sullivan (bass) of Left Hand Does

Ryan Jackson (guitar solo) of Ryan Jackson Troika http://www.ryanjacksonmusic.com/ and the Shills http://www.theshills.net/

Vuvuzuelaball

In the vein of early '80s metal gods Dio, Judas Priest and Don Felder, Devil Woman crawled out of the brainwomb on Friday, March 2, the instant result of the newly acquired MXR blue box (pure octave fuzz!)

Clinton Degan of A Bit Much fame helped summon the demon spawn through pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance (the demon radio audio verite). Real and electronic drums provided by Frank Hegyi.

Devil Woman

Here's a live recording of School for Robots performing the Zappa classic in an Allston basement party on Saturday, April 28, 2012. 

This was a one-rehearsal gig with Greg Toro sitting in on bass. Frank Hegyi on drums. Recorded on a Sony PCM-M10 straight to mp3. Opened for the wonderful and strange Strange Changes, also from Allston. Fun was had by all!
