Circle the Drain

*REMIXED VERSION 8-23-13
I've had this tune rolling around in my head for many many years, and it's finally free.

LYRICS - GET GONE (Keys Phone Wallet)

I can't take you home
Ain't on a mission of mercy
Even though I could 
Stand for a little bit of the here and now 

So baby please just move along 
Before you tell me your name 
Pull me in your game
Or take out your heart and tell me I'm your one and only

We give it
And take it
And love it
At least for the moment there's something I can't live without

You give it
And take it
And leave it
So get get get it
Get and get gone

Cause if I take u home
We know its gonna get DRTY
I'm feelin like you could
Stand for a little bit of the here and now 

So baby please move along 
Before you tell me your name 
Pull me in your game
Wait just a minute it's seems that you left without your

Keys Phone Wallet
I got your
Keys Phone Wallet
You want your
Keys Phone Wallet
Better come a begging down on your hands and knees for
Keys Phone Wallet
I got your
Keys Phone Wallet
You want your
Keys Phone Wallet

Get Gone (Keys Phone Wallet) Remix 8-23-13

This song was used in the film Abandoned In the Dark (Nov 2014). When I was finished, I decided to do a stomping remix and release it on iTunes, etc. It should get your blood pumping.

Fail To See (Alien Probe Mix)

I did this dark electro song for the DVD of the movie "Abandonded in the Dark".

KLEPTO (abandonment Mix)

I've had this song in my head for years and have tried to bring it out a couple of times. This version FINALLY matches what I hear. 

Keys Phone Wallet

This track was born during my year of Top Hat Showcase performances at American Rock 2013-2014, and I've been trying to find the right feel for it since. It started as an acoustic/vocal only but has really evolved as you will see. Thank you for listening :)

Hit The Ground

Last track of 2015...a remix of an oldie. Finally giving it the dance treatment :)

When All Is Said And Done (remix)

Once again I have revisited a song that in my mind has been "in progress" since inception. This time crafted into a rock/pop format, what was originally a Dot Fash staple (for those who remember) has been born anew. I enjoy it and hope you do too.

When All Is Said And Done (rock mix)

This is a work in progress as I am still tweaking the arrangement, but I'm digging it and hope some out there do as well.

Already Gone (Knives For Eyes)

I wrote this tune a few years ago with Todd Evans (original ANWTLF guitarist). He recently sent me his recorded parts, so I created this new take on the original version. Hope you dig.

Setting Sun

I wrote this one with James Coyle years ago. I've recently dusted off the riffs and completed this newly recorded demo version.

Wither Without

It's been roughly a year and a half since our first breakout smash, "Bubble Pop", but the kids and I finally have a new playful romp to unleash on the world. Youth- infused goodness..."Play All Day"

Play All Day

I wrote this one waaaaayyyy back. The original was included on the dotFash "green" CD, and the soundtrack of the indie film "Raging Hormones". For this rework I matched it more to what I've always had in my head including new verse sections and more overall dynamic pumpitude.

When All is Said and Done (demo)

Singer/Songwriter, Russ Rogers has been actively writing, performing and recording rock/pop/soul music for the last 20 years. His guitar driven neo-soul awash in melancholic hooks, sets a dark yet hopeful tone. Current bands are A New Way to Live Forever http://soundcloud.com/anewwaytoliveforever, and DRTY LVRS http://soundcloud.com/drtylvrs. Notable tenure as Singer/Bassist and songwriter  for The Numb Ones (Cleopatra Records) has given Russ national recognition for his song craft, a trait he has since refined in earnest. Regular solo performances offer the perfect isolated venue for Russ’ overflow of creative output.

I also sing and play bass as "Chason" in DRTY LVRS, a dark wave electro band. http://drtylvrs.com - http://facebook.com/drtylvrs - http://soundcloud.com/drtylvrs

I've been doing this stuff for a long time, and tend to write a lot, so it's quite good for my psyche to have soundcloud as a vehicle for my output. Basically all of the songs I upload here were, for better or worse, written, played/programmed, recorded, and mixed by me. Drums & synths are mostly programmed, instruments are all played, and vocals are just fun :)

Hope you dig some of the tunes.
