song 076 : Las Vegas (Suburban Legends + Outtakes)

The instrumental version of this song on the DNA and Public Domain CDs was singled out by Alternative Press when they included Lucid Nation in their list of 100 Bands You Need to Know in 2002 which pissed me off because I love the lyrics and vocal I did for this one. But removing my voice was the only way Candiria producer Mike Barile and Nitebob could mix Las Vegas for our DNA CD.

Now you’ll begin to hear what I mean about some sort of spirit that can inspire a band, this is the first of the songs where I feel something special happened. It all started with a story about the first penis Grit ever saw, which happened to be in a taxi in Las Vegas. As I sang Las Vegas unfolded before me and I felt the certainty that I could trust the stream of my consciousness. I started having fun.
