Christmas Music for the Austin Soul
Written by The Grapes & Friends, recorded at Stumbling Grounds Studios in Austin, TX.
Don't forget to come out to the HOLE IN THE WALL on DECEMBER 7th for the Grapes and Friends 5th Annual Christmas Extravaganza!!!!!

I wish that it would snow in Austin like I want it to
Cause then it'd be Christmas
And all the gifts that I got, I'll give it back to you,
Cause you are the one that I love

The lights on 37th Street a house in Cinammon Bay
Is right where I have you
And then two years ago, that night on Christmas Eve
We were falling in love

I with that it would snow in Austin, prayed for 20 feet
But it stays pretty warm here
I wanted it to snow in Austin, but it never does
I thought it'd be different in love
If I was falling in love, then the snow would be falling too
And we could have Christmas like the one in our dreams
Like the one I had of you...

****ABOUT GENUINE LEATHER****
Genuine Leather has been around for a while - since 2011 - but you probably haven't heard of them. That's because Chris Galis, the singer/songwriter behind Genuine Leather, has kept it mostly contained to himself, friends, and the local music scene in Austin, TX. Sure, the project has had some favorable press coverage over the years - both for their songs and their live shows - but they've never taken it that seriously. Up until now, Genuine Leather has mostly been an outlet for Galis' songwriting and a great excuse to hang out with friends who have been in and out of various bands together over the years. Weekly practices evolved into parking lot beer-for-beer drinking sessions where they'd talk about how they want to sound like The White Stripes, or Prince, or The Replacements, or Tame Impala, or Tears for Fears, and whether or not Greta van Fleet is a good band or not.

Since its inception, Chris Galis has self-released 3 full lengths, 3 EPs, and a smattering of singles scattered throughout the band’s Spotify, Bandcamp, and Soundcloud. With each release, Genuine Leather has sailed through genres and influences, at times sounding like a slacker indie blog-rockers, then sleazy guitar rock auteurs, then breezy folk-driven songsmiths, then glam aficionados, and - in their final form - synth pop enthusiasts. But no matter their reference points, at each turn, the songwriting was always the focus - Genuine Leather has and always will be in pursuit of The Great Song.

Unknowingly, Galis had pigeonholed himself as a home recording/DIY low fidelity project, and that’s not where his ambitions ended. Galis decided to dig deep on a set of songs that would be a large step forward in his own personal musical growth, and a departure for Genuine Leather.

Where, in the past, his MO was to write a song, record it as quick as possible, and release it, for this go-around, he got patient, focused in on his craft and refined his approach. He got better at the technical stuff: recording, mixing, editing. He took his time on the creative stuff: lyrics, instrumentation, arrangements. All of this led to a cohesive set of 6 songs that draw a line in the sand between it and everything that came from before.

In fall of 2022, Galis teamed up with The Animal Farm, a UK-based label, to help him refine his approach and develop other key components of being an artist that is taken seriously.

The end result is 6-song EP to be released in the Fall. Several singles will precede the full release - an effort to introduce Genuine Leather to a new fanbase and gain momentum leading up to release of the EP, Genuine Pleasure.

Tear It Down

Sweet Connection

Sweet Connection (feat. Dabeull)

JOIN US FOR THE 8TH ANNUAL GRAPES & FRIENDS CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANCZA!!!!!!

December 10th @ Hole in the Wall

Lyrics:

I was downtown, I was making my rounds
And then a funny little things starts to happen
I decided that I might as well let it happen
You were coming out of the record store
Just a cozy little place on the corner of the street
In the middle of the day in broad daylight
I was just doing some Christmas shopping
Getting quarters for the kids
And a little something stronger for the adults, old folks
Pull up my collar and walked across that cold-ass street
Said its a damn good thing I got that brand new fleece
A Goretex fleece for two

Can I come home with your for Christmas?
Can we spend a little time alone?
Can I get stoned with you for Christmas?
Can I make you feel alright pretty baby, maybe?
I'm coming home with you for Christmas
And we can spend a little time alone.
See I know what you want, and you know I know how to give it baby...

It gets hard when its out of season
It gets hard when you know I care
Standing there on a black and while vinyl floor
You say it only comes once a year

Can I come home with your for Christmas?
Can we spend a little time alone?
Can I get stoned with you for Christmas?
Can I make you feel alright pretty baby, maybe?
I'm coming home with you for Christmas
And we can spend a little time alone.
See I know what you want, and you know I know how to give it baby...

I was downtown, I was making my rounds
And then a funny little things starts to happen
I decided that I might as well let it happen

Do you recognize a familiar voice?
Have you heard it before?
Or do you drop dead baby don't believe in what you see.
Oh the Galleria's open, then to the department store
For leather heels and diamond rings
I just want a little bit of your holiday attention please
Do you want those 3in hoops? Yeah I know you do.
Feels like Christmas to me.
So it's whatever you're wanting - Amazon or Tiffany's
Cause the snow is falling down again
And it's a bad time of year to be alone without the one you need
But will it ever be enough?

For my Christmas Crush, talk so tough
You'll never get a present if you're never good enough
I got dreams of sugar plums, milk and cookies and chimney dust
Some believe and some don't budge
Oh that's just the difference of
On my knees the morning of
Up all night wishing for a little bit of touch from my Christmas Crush.

I know it's been a minute, but I can't wait to get you
out of my dreams and down to the dealership so I can get a car and get you in it
Maybe it could be a Honda, or a GTO, or even a Subaru built for two
So it can get us to and fro across the snow and even go to where we wanna
Want to meet me there? Babe I couldn't care.
It feels like Christmas to me
I might pass you on the shoulder, if I got the right of way
But if we have a chance to merge we should
Fall together baby and make it home for the holiday
Oh now will it ever be enough?

For my Christmas Crush, talk so tough
You'll never get a present if you're never good enough
I got dreams of sugar plums, milk and cookies and chimney dust
Some believe and some don't budge
Oh that's just the difference of
On my knees the morning of
Up all night wishing for a little bit of touch from my Christmas Crush.

Seasons come and seasons go
I'm twice as sentimental as anyone I know
I get down cause I'm alone
Still making wishes on that wishing bone
But here she comes in a Goretex coat
In her hand a piece of mistletoe
I won't lie December's rough
Do anything I can to see a little bit of blush on my Christmas Crush

Christmas Crush

A little nugget that points forwards to a new adventure.

Lyrics
VERSE (1)
I wonder who's to blame?
for the world of the present?
ten bucks say it's a men
far from love and affection 

HOOK
This world was never meant for us
na, na, na it's for the 
girls & Children first and then men
Boys, man up,
na, na, na it's for the 
girls and children and then men 
last...

Verse (2)
don't you abandon ship
be the savior of many
or drown right where you live 
kiss that fear in your belly 

HOOK

BRIDGE
and I know you got the message
with love to you
took it tom, but never read it 
what the fuck? So rude
I wonder who's to blame?

BRIDGE CONTINUED 
wish you could man up
it can't be that tough 
shit ain't fair, never was, call it bad luck 
Superman buff
thought you were that tough?
I shed a tear, life ain't fear call it bad luck

HOOK

Man Up

Boy sees Girl at party
Girl showed up with Other Boy
Other Boy isn't no good
Boy thinks he's better
boys are dumb.
