Dan Patrick pissed me off. So what better way to exercise my frustration than by interrupting him with a scathingly dark satirical song. I wanted to amplify, in some small way, the importance of participation in our democracy. I figured maybe I could put a collaboration together insanely fast, make a lyric video using photos of local bands in the before-time, and use it as a vehicle to highlight the importance of making your voice heard and voting.
I knew Aaron Sinclair’s (A. Sinclair) voice was perfect for the vibe and lyrics of this tune, and I asked Jana Horn to sing the refrain. She’s out of state right now, so she just sang into her phone and emailed me her vocals. Michael St. Clair of Pocket Sounds played the horns and Royal Forest provided the rhythm section. The whole thing came together in the space of a day, which is a testament to the caliber of musical talent we have here in Austin. So enjoy it, and get your ass in that voting booth.
Love,
