lyrics

Show up to the party
Is there anyone you know?
Seems you need some entertainment
Baby let’s go

I’m putting on a show for you
Seems like the thing to do
Yes I’m putting on a show
Cannot fail
That’s all I know

Putting on a show
All cued up and ready to go
Fully loaded, baby
Putting on a show

On a retro sitcom bender
Later I’ll binge on HBO
Fully loaded, baby
Putting on a show

No skimping on the budget
Got a full ensemble cast
They’ve travelled here through time and space
Bringing us together here at last

This bender is dependent
On another aging cast
Binge-ing on nostalgia
Living in the past

And I’m hoping it’ll last

So I’m putting on a show for you
Seems like the thing to do
Yes I’m putting on a show
Cannot fail, that’s all I know

Get out your lighters
And wave them around
Let ‘em know what’s going down

Yes I’m putting on a show
It cannot fail, that’s all I know

Let the credits roll

about

The Brood Halifax, Nova Scotia

Dark and quirky songs that float along like scenes from a night’s dream. Lynchian vibes at the discotheque. Intricate musical interplay, but over a beat you can groove to.
The band’s musical recipe is thus: equal parts vocals, keyboards, bass, guitar and drums, interlocking in an electric dixieland tapestry with nods to new wave, disco, psychedelia and grunge. ... more
