a minute and a half of roadkill music

So we're out with Andrew for dinner one night and he starts to describe how he found a dead coyote on the side of the road. He takes it home and then over the next few months buries it in the ground, digs it up, skins it, guts it and boils the bones in a pot on the kitchen stove. Had it been anyone other than Andrew, I might have lost my appetite, but his suave, clever style somehow made this acceptable dinner conversation. The images of this process stayed in my head. Later that week, "Taxidermy Song" started to take shape.

We left the electronics behind for this one. Back to straight-ahead rock. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals and of course, Max's dirty clav.

I hope you enjoy Cancer Killing Gemini's free song for June: "Taxidermy Song"

JUN - Taxidermy Song by Cancer Killing Gemini 

Found you by the side of the road

Your body still warm but your heart was cold
Not looking too good all that red white and goo
Gonna put my hands deep inside of you

Maybe you think it's wrong
Gonna mess with the flesh now that life is gone
Blow it off and just sing along
To the homemade taxidermy song

I think you once were a fox
Now you're in my garage in a cardboard box
Should I take off your skin and poke out your eyes
Since you're already dead I feel justified

Next month: "Vaseline for the Vomit Queen"

Shows:

-Saturday June 18th - Copperfield's (downstairs) 98 Brookline Ave Boston, MA
-Saturday July 2nd - Ground Zero Allenstown, NH - ALL AGES SHOW
-Friday July 8th - Club Gallery Providence, RI w/Era Nocturna
-Saturday August 6th - NYC w/ Ex Machinae

Just to recap on the free thing, we record and release one song a month for free, for ever. Stay in contact (the mailing list or facebook are good ways to do that) and all of our new music will be free to you.

60 days after release, the song will enter our back catalog and will no longer be free, but if you've downloaded it, no big deal, you already own it.

 

Cheers,

Eric
