about

“Rock And Roll Chamber Of Commerce” is up next. Guitars chug over bass and drum work as Hesh comes in with ultra-low vocals before coming into the second verse. “We’re Gonna Buy That Old Building” starts things off with majestic hopes and dreams. Recording studios and musical fame frame this out with wishful dreaming and aspirations of hope. What I like about Hesh’s creative direction is the no-holds-barred feel of the entire disc. He manages to pay homage to the past while cutting his own musical swath through the present-day situation. It’s not an easy thing to do. Sparber coils and hisses guitar magic with chords and melodic voicings as the rest of the band switches time signatures and style with all the grace of King Crimson.

~John Pfeiffer, The Aquarian Weekly

lyrics

We’re gonna buy that old building
Make it a national monument
Move the music back in and give the old times a new spin
Let’s get on with it
We’re gonna buy that old building
Plaster posters on the walls
Gonna party past midnight every night all night
We’re gonna have a ball
We’re gonna live out our dreams
‘Cause we must persevere
We’re gonna be everything we couldn’t be
In those years

We’re gonna buy that old building
Put a recording studio inside
We’ll put all our songs on vinyl from first version to final
We’ll have the greatest band of all time
We’re gonna buy that old building
Gonna dig in real deep
Fix the leaks, clean the floors, all the windows and doors
We’ll be playing for keeps
We’re gonna rebuild the glory
‘Cause we can’t let it die
And if anybody tells you it can’t be done
They’re telling you a lie

(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Just back in time for the renaissance
(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
We’re gonna do it right and get a good response
(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Put that carousel where its rightful place is
(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Give this town a reason to live

We’re gonna buy that old building
Make it what it used to be and more
Keep the arcades in place and give the arena a new face
The premier spot on the shore
We’re gonna buy that old building
Shine it up till it gleams
Turn on all the lights for 1,001 summer nights
Pack it tight till it bursts at the seams
We gotta reinstate the crown
And bring back the pride
We can’t let it all fall into the water
There’s too much history inside

(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Don’t demolish what keeps this town alive
(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Don’t let some grandiose plan cloud your eyes
(Rock’n’roll chamber of commerce)
Don’t bring it all to an end
(Rock’n’roll—I tell ya)
It’s gonna live, breathe, and jump again.
