So Much Trying

I am beaten, broke & bleary eyed from all the trying that has taken place this past week...

I officially launched KOSHi SHOP &, after reading many How To articles & one How To e-book, attending a couple of Virtual Labs, mondo studying of Etsy's top sellers, and ruthless forum cruising, made all of ONE sale...

Finished mixing & posted RUMBLE FiSH on Obedient Waves' MySpace page for streaming & pre-orders (avail Aug. 21)...

Been booking( ie. emailing my brains out) a few mini regional tours for Obedient Waves this fall...

And finally sold out to TWiTTER.

Words of wisdom & encouragement, please! I need them to do it all again next week.

Holy Roller (lyrics)

I feel like we've been recording & mixing this new record (RUMBLE FiSH) forever, and I'm dying to show it to you. It'll be up on our MySpace on July 15th & available for purchase August 21st but, in the meantime, I can't resist giving you a lil sneaky peak of my favorite track's lyrcis. It's called Holy Roller & it's personal, damn it.

HOLY ROLLER

Holy Roller
Keep your head up your ass
Holy Roller
Preach that shit on mass - yo
Holy Roller
Yeah no thanks but I'll pass
Holy Roller
Holy Roller

Holy Roller
None of us need saving
Holy Roller
It's our blood that your craving
Holy Roller
But your mind's depraving
Holy Roller
Holy Roller

Jesus wants his name back
He's rollin in his grave
Why you talking such smack
It's you you better save
AInt nobody warned you
The truth will set you free
Doin what you're told to
Patriarchy

Holy Roller

Holy Roller

Holy Roller
Talking all that cheese

Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy Roller
Holy Roller

Holy Roller
Keep your head up your ass
Holy Roller
Preach that shit on mass - yo
Holy Roller
Yeah no thanks but I'll pass

Obedient Waves on KXLU's Livation TONiGHT

If you live in L.A. & are up past midnight, tune in to 88.9 to hear us play a full, live set on KXLU's Livation tonight. We're debuting a couple of songs off the new ablum, Rumble Fish, which is scheduled for release August 21, and, of course, we'll be rocking all the Obedient Waves' faves like Om Song, Drink Fuck Love, and Cool As Hell. Party on, party people!

If Love Was More

We're still in the studio recording Obedient Waves's next ep, Rumble Fish, and, really, we're all freaking out about it. It's gonna be awesome. You'll see. And I know we're usually all punk rock & heavy duty rah rah rah, but there's a ballad of sorts on this one & we're debuting it at Bordello tonight. I still haven't memorized the lyrics, even though I wrote em (duh), so I'm doing that now. Here's a lil peak, but you'll have to make it out tonight to hear what they sound like set to music...

(p.s. It's call & answer, thus the "B" for Billy & "J" for Jo before each line.)

IF LOVE WAS MORE

J- If love was more like getting high
Than falling down
Well, I might try
B- If love was more like Hollywood
Than my home town
Maybe I could
J- I would fall in love with you
B- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you

B- If love felt more like being young
Than getting old
Hell, I'd get sprung
J- If love would just stop playing games
Acting so cold
I'd be in flames
B- I would fall in love with you
J- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you!

But it aint'
so I won't
And you c'aint
So let's don't
go there
go there
it's just not
sorry hun
thanks a lot
it was fun
oh well
oh well

J- If love hurt more like growing pains
Than cracking bones
I'd break these chains
B- If love looked more like happiness
I'd get the jones
And worry less
J- I would fall in love with you
B- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you

B- If love worked more like having fun
Than going mad
You'd be the one
J- If love could just stop placing blame
I'd want you bad
And without shame
B- I would fall in love with you
J- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you!

But it aint'
so I won't
And you c'aint
So let's don't
go there
go there
it's just not
sorry hun
thanks a lot
it was fun
oh well
oh well
mmmm
