Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…thousands of followers worldwide!
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner metal, though we all tend to swing towards 60’s pop.
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…
Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here.
The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.)
As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
-We’re Full Blooded USAnaian-
Lyrics…
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us.
More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
Hope the sound is okay ( I know, I suck at that part). Not much into Christmas for various reasons but tried to be at least a little positive and present this to those that might like to hear it. Have a great holiday and share if you'd like.
It was 3 degrees this morning and with a new/used dulcimer in the house, well, the only thing to do is write a song.

It's nice the way this old ghost-ship of a website comes alive any time you post a song....reminds me of the old days, when this place was a real nice musical community.
The song is another good one, too.
This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.
wrote this about 10yrs ago ,drums programmed , mixed and mastered , produced , by myself , bass , rthm guitars lead guitar , vocals , backing vocals , by myself , hope you like it , cheers tony cee
Good job. It's so clear.....I've been trying to get that clean drum sound the a machine creates and wonder if it's even WORTH having a human drummer!
We'll keep him around for the sake of friendship.

well Reg just wanted to express himself this afternoon so he got to it .....
Freedom to exspress
If I’ve got something to say
Well I’m going to say it
If i got something I want to do
Then I’m gonna do it
I believe…
This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…
I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl.
This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.
I did several quick jams in October, and this was my favorite of the set. I built up the beat on the Deluge and played my favorite xd brass preset live (C# Minor).
Comments on The Proods's stuff
Them's some fuzzy guitars - nice work dude... seems like a good mix to me.
Love the Bon Scott duo vocal
Diggin this one! A good dance vibe and yup.... totally love the Gonzo
Yeah, I like Gonzo too.. sounds like a lot of fun. (well done)
Nice….i especially like Gonzo from the Muppets.
This sounds so good very groovy - doors vibes 😊
Love the new stuff, guys
It’s groovy alright, a great 60’s vibe. Mix the Kinks with the Dead and you get YOU!
Hhhhaaaa! Love this!!
Another beauty
Oh those lyrics!!!! Such vitriol mixed with the upbeat tone - delightfully dead but still living indeed! Well done!!!
Heyyy, nice to hear from you all again. Excellent song! It's very robust and autumnal. One of your better tracks (if not best) I think.
🔥
it can be lonely summertime alone
Oh my dear Proods! Such angst! I love this. The melancholy beach vibe is perfect.
:-) Hey Steve, I play bass too. Cool to hear your work. Likin' it.
Love the groove, and this is GREAT writing!
Good vibez
Cool old style rock vibe.
OMG! How fun to hear your wonderful music again!!! Love this one. Hope all the Proods are well in this world.

Well done….i’ll have to check out the original, I’ve never heard this one. You shouldn’t curb the covers….it’s ALL better than AI.
There’s still amazing stuff to be found here at this site!😃
You MUST have some Lou Reed music in your collection...this song reminds me of his album New York.
Cool...I feel like I'm about to watch an episode of Breaking Bad.
Nice...that's some mighty fine pickin' and singin'.

I love it...it's like the Mamas and Papas.
Sounds like the last tune of a rockin' holiday party, right before they kick everyone out.
That baby notice use to be everywhere.....nice rendition. Oops...whoa, kazoo!???

I can almost imagine what X the Astronaut looks like.
😃Nice!

Very nice. Here's hoping you expand on it.....twas a tad brief.
This was not what I was expecting...cool.
Great. Y'all are true Rockers.
Amazing.

Love this.
Definitely makes me wish I had a better keyboard!
