Swept Away
(Remix 2007)
Los DustBunnies (aka GatorFace aka Mumble Kings) is a basement studio band in Ottawa Canada (currently in limbo because of multiple other committments)
I started jamming on wednesday nights with Brad Campbell in an unscripted play for fun kinda moment about 7 years ago. Sessions usually began with dinner and wine with Brad's partner Martine and their pack of dogs... Brad and I would retire to the basement with one of us bringing forward a song idea that together we jammed, improved and fumbled our way through... headphones on and relishing the spontenaity of it all.... sometimes with surprising results. Seldom were music or lyrics fully developed or written down... obvious from the recorded results.
This is one of those moments. Brad took the gem of my idea from the early session and layed down all the music tracks (did I mention he is a genius talent?)... I arrived the next week to lay down the vocals.
This track has been sitting on a few cds amongst friends and on this blog for a while now.
I have recently been creating music videos for friends... and have now taken a shot at this early DustBunnies favourite.
The video footage is taken from the amazing 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge self-destruction... called "Gallopin' Gertie"... where winds caused the bridge to start shaking and swaying and eventually fall apart November 7, 1940.
More to come... hope you enjoy.
