The Districts - Rocking Chair

King B

If the night calls your name but never quite says it right…
you’ve already been invited.

A wanderer, flung from a veering world, stumbles into a place that doesn’t quite exist—where time hiccups, stars forget their names, and the lost gather not to mourn, but to dance.

The Noctivagant Ball is part prophecy, part elegy, part electric exorcism. Spoken word and hard rock collide in a gothic fever dream:
— A frostbitten traveler warmed by something he can’t name.
— A sequined queen who shines just enough to distract.
— A thunder-born prophet who speaks truths even he forgets.
— And a nightwalker who waltzes with Death and Chance until the stars fall down.

It’s all here, stitched together with howling guitar, cinematic breakdowns, and lyrics etched in candle smoke.

No RSVP. No past. Just rhythm, regret, and the last dance you didn’t know you were part of.

Right On You

Albert Hammond Jr’s fourth solo album Francis Trouble explores a deeply personal topic – the stillborn death of his twin brother, Francis, and the lingering effects that event has had in his life and music.
In November of 1979, Hammond Jr’s mother, Claudia, miscarried. Although they rushed to the hospital, Claudia and Albert Hammond Sr. were told that the baby was far too premature to live. Albert continued to grow inside of his mother undetected until she was nearly six months pregnant.

Lyrics:
So you're freaking me out
You hide your looks in your skull
I'm catching muted beatings in my lungs
You act like you're in my head
You sit me up in the back
I wanna know your lips upon my tongue
Don't like the rules that you like
I'm not a winner in your ring
Out loud a voice in the night
I do it like I'm Charlemagne

Like a heartbeat under your shirt
Like a hard reach into the dirt
But I can't breathe under your skirt
Now I'm waiting on something you said
Like a waitress too good to forget
Like the words sung over cassette

Do-do-do-do
I don't care

Words come out of your mouth
They hit me hard like a brick
I know I know I know I know
I know you like me possessed
But lately I've been a mess
You got me thinking 
Are we closer than before
Don't like the rules that you like
I'm not a winner in your ring
Out loud a voice in the night
I do it like I'm Charlemagne

Like a heartbeat under your shirt
Like a hard reach into the dirt
But I can't breathe under your skirt
Now I'm waiting on something you said
Like a waitress too good to forget
Like the words sung over cassette

Do-do-do-do
I don't care
You're a cult in this place
I don't care
Watch my skull give and take
I don't care where will we go
I don't care where will we go
I don't care

Lyrics:
Something 'bout the rules you attract
Don't tell me that you made it up
We can always screw with the facts
Don't tell me that I've seen enough
'Cause if I saw nothing why would I look twice

Ain't about the dress that you own
It's just something came undone
Everything you hide between the lines
Is just another giveaway

You're always the last one to know
We're finally close when you first walk away
There's something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we're fucking around or just feeling it out

With every role that you play
The revolution televised
There's a time and a place
Don't tell me that it's paradise
Everything you hide between the lines
Is just another giveaway

We can always leave this town
Or stay to watch it all fall down
But between you and I
It's just a moment along the way

You're always the last one to know
We're finally close when you first walk away
There's something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we're fucking around or just feeling it out
It's just a moment, it's just a moment, it's just a moment away

We can always screw with the facts
Tell them that we made it up
When all the words were taken back
It doesn't mean you've given up 
'Cause if I saw nothing
Why would I look twice
But between you and I
It's just a moment along the way

You're always the last one to know
We're finally close when you first walk away
There's something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we're fucking around or just feeling it out
It's just a moment, it's just a moment, it's just a moment away

Lyrics:
I was so quiet 
But you were excited 
Waiting for romance
Someone come talk to me 
Lonely out on this tree
There is a need to feel safe
How do we get to this place
With eyes on my back
I'm set to attack
I've come to take your hand

Hold on (x8)

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do with you

I was so quiet but you were excited
Waiting for the dance
They all just waltzed in a second behind me
I stood there like some dumb kid
The music played and the boys would take you far from where I was
I was still hoping that you were the victory to what felt like love

Hold on (x8)

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do with you

Hold on (x8)

Lyrics:
Yeah help me understand
There doesn’t seem to be a plan here in motion

Grab the treasure from the streets
We got buried in the deep Atlantic Ocean
I saw you as someone I want to trust
I saw you as everyone I wanted to fuck
Oh baby I WANT I don’t know what’s GOOD for me
Well can't you tell I'm living proof of exile and hell
Upside down insides out

I heard the talkers talk
When they talk their talk in mute frustration
Truth was on the leaves falling from the trees as demonstrations

I saw you as someone I want to trust
I saw you as everyone I wanted to fuck
Oh baby I WANT 
I don’t know what’s GOOD for me
Well can't you tell I'm living proof of exile and hell
Upside down insides out

Lyrics:
Say no more I was yours 
When your silence came over me

Head to toe dangers own
You're afraid to throw away the key

Tell all your friends cover your losses on my expense 
Tell all your friends while we burn at both ends

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver lines, tuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ear's against the door
Nice shot, old flame can't stop but nothing lasts forever

Say it matters if it ain't from the heart then it ain't for me
Say it matters your secret is safe when you're close to me
Say it matters I know that I'm touched but you're out of reach
Tell all your friends while we burn at both ends

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver line, stuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ear's against the door
Red dots, white wine, safe sex, fighting all the time

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver line, stuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ears against the door
Nice shot, old flame, can't stop but nothing lasts forever

Lyrics:
Well come around I'm with a friend
I don't even wanna say
Got some time I can't explain
I don't even wanna say
Well what's your advice
I don't even wanna say

You take me everywhere
We want to go
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes

Brother got your lip
Mother make you sick
Your father is a prick

Well there's some families that you'll meet
I don’t even wanna say
That get lost giving head
I don't even wanna say
I’ve been found in neighbors beds
I don't even wanna say
I don't even wanna say

You take me everywhere 
We want to go
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes

It's the truth it's the truth
That we stay up all night
Well carry on carry on carry on with the fight
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Where to go anymore 
Carry on carry on carry on with the fight
Here we go here we go here we aaarrrrgggghhh

Can't you see between the lines
What ya stuck up all night 
Remind me what she said
Haha I don't remember you best be on your tippy toes
Cause this ain't jazz 

You take me everywhere we want to go 
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes
