about

"SAFE WITHOUT BEANS" HE SAID
TEENAGE WHITE SOCKS
HOORAY FOR EVERMORE
I HOPE IT GOES SOMEWHERE…

SO, WHEN HE DANCES
MOVING LIKE RAMSES
DON'T SPELL ME WRONG I WILL CARRY THE ONE
WITHOUT PINS

SNAKES, ON A PLAIN, JENNIFIED, MORE AND MORE,
IN A MESS, THE EGO RAMP, THE STALKING HEAD,
HOW NOW IS SOONER?

MY DEAR BABY, WHAT CAN I DO?
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN OVER-RULED
WHEN I SAY THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
THE PLANKTON, THE FLATWORMS SAYS "WHY?"

lyrics

This song is a reaction to all those explosions of joy and happiness that happens everytime I listen to "Fiery gun hand" and that post-solo section... forget Zorn, forget Zappa, forget Katy Perry... that stuff is just UNBEATABLE. So I threw up in the air a few chords and see what would have happened if I tried to record them just the way they fell on the floor... A bit of "Dead mouse" in it, I hope to not get sued, I'm just a poor guy who works at McDonald's :) this song has 4 verses and no chorus, we can say the structure is Chaos/ Verse/ Verse/ Chaos again/ Verse/ Verse/ Chaos ending.

Sterbus: guitar, bass, vocals, drums programming;
Nuisance: backing vocals on first verse;
Frances "Co" Pernico delle Famose Teorie: backing vocals on last verse.

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.
