Good job; thick sounds and everything has a space in the mix.

Type your reply here ( This has a cool 60's feel !  Kinda like the Byrds .  Cool ! )

Jimi Hendrix start; Moody Blues after;  nice feel again;  I like your styles

My Friend (Conspiracy) is a demo and a lot different from the immediate prior upload "Feeling Like I'm Over You" (Stone Fly). We were a bit hesitant to upload "My Friend" but we wanted to see what other people thought about the song. We like the melody of the chorus (thought it was catchy). Thank you for listening and for any comments. Rob@TheTribe. 

This song is about the difficulty, risk and freedom of revealing one's true self to a real friend.  My daughter is an actress in New York City.  This song was specifically written for one of her theater productions.

This is a true DEMO, its far from finished, but I thought I would just document the idea. This is the first mix without any "fixes" ... LOL.

THE COME DOWN DEMO (First Rough Mix) 01-06-18

A quirky alternative rock/pop song. This recording of My Friend is an unfinished version, but it is an honest showing. Perhaps the minimalist and demo nature of the production captures the emotion of the song and hopefully that honesty will come through. 

NOTE: The production quality for many of the songs on our Conspiracy No. 9 release was more "demo" in nature than the previous Stone Fly album. This is because when we were writing Conspiracy we had a lot of record label and industry people interested in Fly With Me and the Stone Fly record and we were being asked to record more and more songs. 




Thus, we would put the songs down on tape, get a decent demo mix, and send the demo tracks to various producers, labels, and other people. 

Interesting Side Note: Well known rock producer John Kurzweg got a copy of Stone Fly and became a huge fan of the Stone Fly album and the band's eclectic sound and the overall style, nature, and writing of the band. We became good friends with John and he re-edited a couple of the more alternative-rock type songs off Conspiracy No. 9  ("Sun on My Thumb" and "Crash"), tweaked the knobs a little in his studio, and circulated the stuff to the label guys. We will be uploading those songs and John’s edits/mixes to our cloud in the future. 

LYRICS: 

Do you want to be my friend...

Times are hard, like bricks are heavy
And things are pretty heavy now
I need to know, Are you ready
Are you ready right now

I want you to be my friend
Do you want to be my friend ....

You like Ford, I like Chevy
Is that too heavy to ignore
If you know which way to turn now
You better learn now, Which way to go

I want you to be my friend..
Do you want to be my friend..


My Friend

A sad bluesy guitar workout.

To be honest, for someone who has barely played in almost 12 months it ain't too bad. There was literally dust on my guitar. 

Anyway, is it me or is there  something a bit strange with the sound quality on this one? It comes across a bit wonky, but it is OK.

Anyway, just a bit of blues for your shoes.

Enjoy

------  BIO -------
The Foothill Tribe (f/k/a Steel Dog Cafe) is a three piece alternative-psychedelic-progressive rock band (and recording artist) from the tiny ocean-side town of Destin, Florida, USA. The Tribe is: Clay Urquhart (Guitars | Vocals); Rob Gilmore (Drums | Vocals); Daniel Bertram (Bass Guitar).  

A Note On The Photos: The picture beside each uploaded song is the Cover Art for the Album, EP, or Single the song is on. We will update our Profile with our discography soon.   

We really enjoy (and continue) trying  to push the creative envelope with our music, whether it be with our songs or instrumentals. We often incorporate different genres, styles, and sounds into our music. Our desire and goal is to create original music that is interesting, different, and uniquely recognizable as The Foothill Tribe's own sound. Thank for listening and we truly hope you enjoy our material.   

As a three piece power trio we have no separate front man. We tried out several "would-be" front men when we were first forming the band, but ultimately we were not satisfied with any of the proposed lead singers because they just did not fit with the band or our vision for the future. Out of necessity we made the decision to handle vocals ourselves in what would become a "twin lead-singer" approach with Clay (guitars) and Rob (drums) both handling lead vocals, and with Dan (bass guitar), Clay, and/or Rob handling back-up vocals depending on who was singing lead. This twin lead-vocal approach has developed over the years and forms a key ingredient (and some have gone as far as calling it a trademark) of the band's sound.   

Over the course of writing and recording our various Albums, EPs, and Single releases the band's sound has developed significantly. There are a handful of songs along our path that show the growth of our sound and are witness to a change in the band's direction creatively. We hope to have a chance to tell some of the stories about these key songs and what was going on at the time. We try to offer a bit of background on each song, and sometimes even the lyrics are posted, in the song description for anyone who might be interested in a bit more info about a song.  
 
Since joining Sound Cloud, we have made some awesome new friends and met some great bands and artists. We really appreciate all who listen to our music and who have elected to follow us. Our sincerest thanks! We look forward to continuing to share our music, to making more new friends, and to continuing to discover new and inspiring music/artists/bands as we all grow together. THANKS TO ALL for  sharing in our story and for allowing us to share in yours!  Thanks again for listening to The Tribe!
