This is a track from my new side project with NYC singer/songwriter Melissa Lusk - Boy Girl Party. We completed a 10 song LP for the RPM Challenge, an annual web-based event challenging songwriters and bands to complete an entire album in one month (February). In past years, I’ve submitted work for the Licks.
I play with Mel in her backing band and she was in the lineup of the Hey! from 2008-2009. We’ve been meaning to collaborate on a folksy, twee-ish side project for some time now, and Boy Girl Party is the result.
This is a cutesy number from the B-Side of the album.
