PubSigs This podcast chronicles a decade of rock from the legendary Indianapolis band the PubSigs. It will regularly feature songs from the band’s ten years of writing and recording. Also, check out PubSigs Internet Radio located at PubSigs.com.
Ok, you’re like “What’s the deal? The PubSigs tell me that they are giving away their ENTIRE CATALOG of music, for FREE, on this BLOG, and they TEASE me by only posting one song per week?!??!?”
Patience, oh loyal fans. Your hard drives and iPods will soon be full of all the yummy goodness that the PubSigs have to offer.
This track goes way back to 1997, during our first attempt at recording and releasing a new PubSigs album. It’s a song about a bird. A peach faced love bird.
Keeping with theme of our last post, we present another improvisational piece by the PubSigs: Put out the Warning. Like the last track, Half Drunk Limo Driver, this song was totally improvised and recorded with one take. It was also only preformed once, and luckily we had the tape rolling.
As the PubSigs, we would often pull off totally improvised works in our live shows. After hearing such improvisations, our hard core fans regularly commented as to how really enjoy the new song we played. Our response usually consisted of an ‘Oh that, we just made it up. I forget how it went.’ It’s a shame that most of these shows were never recorded, and some of the music played will never be heard again.
So please enjoy the improvisations we DID manage to capture.
I was going to save this one for a special occasion, and a special occasion has arrived. To honor the death of Syd Barrett, the PubSigs present to you Half Drunk Limo Driver.
Syd Barrett was one weird dude, and Half Drunk Limo Driver is probably the weirdest song that the PubSigs have ever recorded. Nothing about this song was planned; in fact the entire song is completely improvised– one take inlcuding the vocals. This recording captures the first and last time the song was ever played. We think that Syd would have wanted it that way.
For those of you who have not visited the PubSigs MySpace page, then you have missed out on one of the PubSigs most beloved tear jerkers: You Make it Harder The lyrics here say it all.
This one goes out to all the women to which this song speaks. You know who you are……
Listen here:
To celebrate the birthday of our country and to expand on yesterday’s alien theme, PubSigs.com proudly presents PubSigs Invaders.
Those evil PubSigs aliens are attacking the earth and your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to defend the mother land. Blast through the cannon fodder that is the PubSigs drummer, guitarist and bassists, to destroy the maniacal alien overlord Satisfried. Eliminate him, and you will save the earth from PubSigs tyranny.
Another earth shaking performance from the PubSigs. Whether it’s the crash at Roswell or alien bodies spotted at Hanger 18, some believe there is evidence that visitors from other worlds have come to our planet. Some claim to have encountered these celestial travelers and have memories of being ‘probed’ by them. This song warns of the imminent arrival of our new alien overlords with chunky riffs and alarming lyrics. So load up your gun rack and head for the mountains ’cause fella, you ain’t ever coming back.
