about

Lyrics for the choruses:

YOU COME AROUND TO SEE A LIVE - SAUERKRAUT
WAS IT SUPERIOR? TO A GRIND
NEED A SIGN (REDESIGN in the second one)
NEVER GONNA SEE AGAIN

I'M GONNA BE THE ONE YOU LOVE - SEE ABOVE
WEAK IS THE LAWYER*
CRAVE IT TO NO TALENT BROWN
WORDS THAT I DON'T NEED TO KNOW…
AUSTRALIAN

OTORINOLARINGOIATRIA (x8)

lyrics

No, it's not a song about dentists and their hidden perversions... it's just the song I love the most, the chorus has been the thing that made me start-up all this project, kind of "made all up" inspired, while the verses - keeping the original guide-vocal line - are a bit more Queens of the stone agesque... This song has a special meaning for me because the "otorinolaringoiatria" chorus dates back in 1998 when I never heard about Cardiacs... that's why I felt them so close to my taste... Some more Jim thefts in the bass department. (Always play a B when the guitars go G, but be sure to play it the higher octave).

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

about

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.
