I left my heart in Vegas, just when we were gonna make it, and I never got a picture of you So I packed my suit, heading for a tomb, here lies booze and doom You're not the only one who died, that night I packed my things and cried, as I left my room, for booze and doom You were seasoned, never jaded, your look was understated, for months I was talking to you But isn't ironic, when you finally said you want it, it was the last time I'de ever see you I'm walking across the desert hot, thru a frozen mountain top, hard times leading the way, everything is long gone now, I grew up fast and old somehow, it all leaves me feeling empty

about

Dead End Dragstrip was recorded at Rocktorium Recording Studio in Kingston RI during Tropical Storm Irene in August of 2011. Most of RI had lost power for over a week but the little studio in the middle of the woods stayed intact! Listen closely and you may hear the wind as it howled outside.

The recording is live and honest. Five people throwing everything they got into 11 little songs. You'll hear the mistakes, howls, and occasional dog barks. Hopefully, you will feel the emotion, grit, determination, and sweat come through too! It would be nothing but a little demo and notes on paper if it wasn't for the incredible efforts of everyone involved!
