about

So we said "let's have a factory and grow a beard*
just another guilty pleasure
cause you're having so much fun now
never really missed a thing

RUNNING AWAY - FAR FROM HEAVEN
DIGGIN THE GRAVE, THE SUN
CRYING AWAY - ALL YOUR GLORY
USELESS AND VAIN, IN TIME

Whatever happened to the accidents we used to love
I'm still waiting for you, best friend
Cause I never really saw you
never needed other way

RUNNING AWAY - FAR FROM HEAVEN
DIGGIN THE GRAVE, THE SUN
CRYING AWAY - ALL YOUR GLORY
USELESS AND VAIN, IN TIME
BREAKS ON A PLAIN - CRAWLING DOWNSTAIRS
MOTHERS ASHAMED TONIGHT
SINNER AND SAINTS - YOU STAGE-DIVER
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Riders on the phone-calls from heaven, suicide
Twice upon a time
Crackers leaving off, it's mine, eggs of joy….

Rock me tenderly…
give me clock and fears
never say goodbye
c'eravamo tanto amalgamati…
(we uses to love each other so much)

I SEE YOU
I FEEL YOU
YOU HEAL ME
UNCOMPLICATED WAYS

I SEE YOU
I FEEL YOU
YOU HEAL ME
UNCOMPLICATED FEELINGS
WHAT'S THIS, OH MY?

lyrics

Everybody knows that "Dirty boy" is the greatest song ever written, no doubt about it. I always loved this song since I first discovered Cardiacs in late 2006, some of you may also know the acoustic cover I did in 2010... (you can find it in the "loyal companion" of the wonderful Tim Smith tribute album "leader of the starry skies") But then my ego grew bigger and bigger, so I said to myself: "why not trying to write some kind of a musical sequel to it?" So, yes, I'm probably crazy, but this song it's me messing around with tons and tons of chords and chord changes - close to the original 237 - trying to replicate all the things I adored in that song, from the big choruses scaling up a semitone to all kind of assorted madness you could imagine... thanks Tim, you're a genius, and a great inspiration... this is for you!

Sterbus: guitar, bass, vocals and backing vocals on coda, organ, drums programming;
Dominique D'Avanzo: backing vocals on choruses;
Frances "Co" Pernico delle Famose Teorie: backing vocals on out-choruses.

Sterbus Rome, Italy

Sterbus are from Rome, but their true musical spirit wanders much further afield, from the joyful power-pop of The Lemon Twigs to the rainy Portland of Elliott Smith and certainly all the South of England's ground-soils Cardiacs and XTC.

"Solar Barbecue" marks their comeback with a new ALL-INSTRUMENTAL opus centered around funny chords, frantic paces and exhilarating arrangements. ... more
