LYRICS: 
She dragged me by the hand out from the show 
Got me an energy drink from the store 
Said your always on the gogo, can dance on the pole 
Mistress with the whiskey poured me a flask of old crow

She hit the biggest bong rip then passed me the bowl 
It's been six months since I did that sweetie, sorry I can't join 
The harlot with the body, bruised and stoned 
Jesus wasn't there to save her from the pious troll

No, I can't say yes 
She won't let me say, "No" 
"It's our little secret," she says 
"Nobody will ever know."

She's a snake charmer with the wooden flute 
I dance out of the basket to the beat of the tune 
She says, "Open up baby, let me be your muse." 
I tried to get the hell out, but she hid my shoes

No, I can't say yes 
She won't let me say, "No" 
"Baby just the the bottle," she says 
"I'm gonna make you feel so whole."

She says, "I'm gonna make you feel so whole." X2

Thirsty Thursday (Snake Charmer)

The current line up of The Red Light Commandos assembled February 2013.

Lead vocalist Sammy Pond is easily recognized by his folky lower octave, a light timbre on higher notes with occasional emotionally charged grittiness. He is also recognized for his open vowel sounds, mixture of vocal textures, natural vibrato and ability to sustain notes for an extended period of time.

Lead Guitarist Josh Mikesell is a youthful child-prodigy. With slides, tremolo, hammer-ons n' pull-offs, bends and triads he incorporates a classic bluesy element to the music. Well versed in guitar theory, he has an infinite level of creativity and diversity in his playing style. He is only 17, but this kid has got 40 year-old soul- and he has got the blues.

Bassist Colton Anderson puts the sex in bass as far grooving can go. Jazzy walking, bass chord fusions, and he can pop dat funk. It's so sexy, it should be illegal. Fortuitously we live in 'Merica so his skillz are protected by the constitution. He has a trained ear for tone and contributes an experienced understanding of the dynamics in song writing.

Drummer Bryan Rieben fortifies the jazzy element in The Red Light Commando's sound. He implements subtleties into his beats that only the trained listener can attend to and appreciate. From sizzling hot high-hat work to clever beats, he sure puts a velvet bow on the package and pulls everything together.

Bands we've been honored in sharing the stage with: We Are Scientists, Libbie Linton, Via Versa, September Say Goodbye, The Romp Stompers, The Cotton Ponies, Face Punch and Friends, Among The Ashes, The Bridge, Alarmingly Charming, Bronze Museum, Hoodoo, Fa Koshka, Children of the North, My New Mistress, Alien Language, Atomica, The Three Suns, Little Barefoot, and Wretched Bones.
