about
Written, performed, recorded and produced by Royal Grand Warden in Berkeley, CA (except the drums which were recorded upstairs at the Hatch in downtown Oakland while the bar was closed).
A year back or so I made a video for this song because I didn't know how it fit with the RGW vibe. Ironically, the song eventually became a sort of cornerstone for a new musical direction. I sent it to Shawn Harris (the Locals, the Matches, St. Ranger) way back then, and the album art is a screen shot of his response. I know we are all human beings, but I still get chills from that picture.
