This song was our show opener. So I figured why not make it the first upload?

Goes to Show

Track 4 of the unreleased album "So Here We Go" by Thrift Shop Junkies.

Queen Mary

A slightly different version of this song first appeared on the Prose album "A Mile Taken" back in 2007. Cara came up with the main melody & wrote the lyrics. I think it's about makin' the sexy time, but she'll never admit to that ;)

Harlot

Another TSJ track for your listening pleasure. This version turned out ok, I think.


Simple and Familiar

This one's a bit darker. Cara & I initially wrote it on acoustic guitar, tending toward a softer vibe. But once we got a drummer & bass player involved and we all plugged in & started jamming on the riff, it evolved into something completely different, which is kinda cool. Stellar production by Mike Ballantyne who, aside from playing bass in the band, also recorded & mixed all the songs. He added all the cool keyboard effects on this version, which adds a ton of texture. 
Oh and the song has nothing whatsoever to do with Layne Staley.  Cara wrote the lyrics, hence she named it, so you can ask her ;-P  
Listen all the way through 'cos she really wails at the end. Totally worth it.

Layne Staley

This one wasn't really part of any specific project. One day, everyone left the house and I started playing around in Mike's editing suite...

Go get your hook

Mike wrote this song for one of his many other projects. We cajoled him into bringing it over to TSJ. Plus it was an excuse for me to play bass again :)
