Overboard

And it seems that you seem so at ease in this scene as you seamlessly slip in and out of lucidity. You cease to be free but see things differently as you suck on that cigarette like a dead celebrity. So serene, or so it seems, selling these sugary dreams. They come free with syringes and a tab of LSD. It’s a sea of cement mixed with talentless sex. It’s front row seats that we seek and as seen on TV. And we don’t even know who we are. I’m a proletarian superstar, a sub-urban mom  with a teenage heart, I came from nothing I will go far, I cannot sing but who gives a fuck. Yes I’m a stoic stupid slut, whose dick have I got to suck? I want the fame I want the glory. I want the world to know my story. It’s a means to an end. It’s mass murder by trend. It’s the sale of these dreams that kill your self-esteem. I’m out of breath, i got the bends, I’m nowhere near on the mend. Not even anti-depressants can cure my sick lament. And I snigger and I point. And I sneer and I stare. I fear that I might end up like all these queers. But i know that I won’t coz I don’t eat what I’m fed, I’d rather stick a gun in my mouth and shoot myself in the head. And I don’t even know who I am. By moi.

DOWNBEAT KEYS are a band from Brooklyn, NY. The group is tearing through the New York music scene with their catchy songs and electric shows. Their urban pop sound draws from hip-hop, rock, funk, and soul. 
 
DownBeat Keys (DBK) formed at Hamilton College. Since moving to NYC the group has been turning heads, sharing the stage with artists from Future to Passion Pit to Bon Jovi. 

DBK recently rocked showcases at SXSW, The New Music Seminar, and CMJ, had their single “Lonely,” featured on an MTV Spring Break commercial, and played the MS&K Grammy Party in Los Angeles. Their singles, “Final Round” and “Overboard” were mixed by Grammy-award winner James “Bonzai” Caruso (Notorious B.I.G., Damian Marley) and produced by Rob Guariglia (Oh Honey). 
 
“There’s something infectious about both the band’s sound and its personality. It’s the product of great musicians, magic chemistry & intense ambition – a perfect
recipe for success.” – ASCAP’s Playback Magazine.
