Hi All, Promise to get caught up on listening / commenting. In the meantime, here's something short and grimey. This is called Dark City. You’ve been running I’ve been waiting It’s been a lifetime That it's been raining I’m on the Northside I’m running a ditty Through my brain Dark in the city You’re a mama’s girl I’m a papa’s boy It’s a phone call child For a little joy I’m a south bound train I’m getting gritty On the tracks Dark in the city You’ve been thinking I’ve been dreaming It’s been a long night To find some meaning I’m lost in Chelsea It’s such a pity So many lights Dark in the city BIAB Tracks: 2524: Bass, Electric, FunkHalfNote 2525: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, FunkWahWahChords RealDrums: Soul70sEV16 As always - thanks for listening! Bob

Bob, I really liked this! The sparseness of the band really works, (I should try to embrace that a bit more myself as I tend to like to throw everything but the kitchen sink in... Although I have gotten better about that).  I love the snare drum sound! Well Done! Greg

You had me at the title, but the song did not disappoint, copy Greg on the goodness of the sparseness. Some very nice tasteful wah-wah in there that just sounds great.

Your song has such a fun and upbeat sound to it, which I think is a nice contrast to some of the themes in the lyrics. It definitely has a bit of that classic funk sound to it that I rather enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Hey Bob you gotta a groove going with the intense bass and retro wahwah - edgy and gritty yeah. Got a young vibe to it.
Oh no, tell me you haven't put one of those giant bass speakers in your car trunk rattling people's houses when you drive by. LOL!
Just kidding.
Great job on the song!
Josie

The rattly drums sound cool here, and the wah guitars help keep the mood funky.
Short and moody!

Good to see you with a new one, Bob, you have been missed!
This is very different from anything I've ever heard you do before, very cool.
Great groove, and the band is perfect. Nicely done!

Bob,
First, great to see you back. Second, not surprising it’s with a killer tune. Love the funky aspect of this, which gives a bit of a spin on your unique sound. That wahwah guitar is pretty awesome in this tune—really makes it pop (the second song in a row I’ve listened to that featured it successfully). Outstanding stuff!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej

Great use of those RealTracks.
I think the vocal would've sounded more intense with fewer effects.
Cool song.
Cheers

Wow very cool changeup Bob. So different from your acoustic songs. Loved this tune. Imagined Bruno Mars and his crew dancing to this. Well done..

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
