Obedient Waves May Take A Hiatus


I have a secret, and I'm going to let you guys in on it first. It's not 100% for sure, but, after the double residencies we're doing in Bakersfield & Long Beach next month and then the lone show we've got out in Vegas, November 7, Obedient Waves may be taking a hiatus. After 8 eps in little more than 2 years and countless shows, we probably deserve a break, but it's really more about restructuring. We want to take some time off to save a shitload of money so we can a) make a proper full-length record that's NOT a home-studio project and b) afford to market & tour the dang thing. I've already got most of the songs written & hummed into my trusty lil tape-recorder, so I assure you, we will be back- most likely next spring. But, well, I'm feeling a lil wistfull already, so... Here's the last video we made for the Rock & Roll 4 President series back when we were just getting started. It's a cover of Sons & Daughter's "Gilt Complex".


p.s. That pic up top is from Silverlake Lounge (04/08)... Obedient Waves' first live show.

Om Song (lyrics)



"OM SONG" - Obedient Waves

om song
i'm taking air in by the yard
om song
i am unthinking but it's hard
om song
i'm stringing daisies in my brain
om song
all this not trying is insane

look at me- I'm so hardcore zen
I can starve myself for days
chanting, panting, pagan, vegan
hold a ready steady gaze
Wrap my ankles up around my neck
And fold my forehead down
Into my lotus-tattooed torso
Listing, twisting out my praise

om song
i'm taking air in by the yard
om song
i am unthinking but it's hard
om song
i'm stringing daisies in my brain
om song
all this not trying is insane

listen up - my words enlighten
when i get into a trance
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Nichiren
mold my funky spirit dance
blame my body for my naughty deeds
because it's of this world
unlike my light internal presence
housing my eternal soul

om song
om song
om song
om song

(lyrics by : Joanna DeVoe for Obedient Waves)
