about

Weekend In Vegas - The Brood’s second single from their new EP Puttin' On A Show, is a sprawling space-funk odyssey.

Lavish synths and Nile Rodgers-on-a-twelve-string style guitars sit atop a bedrock of filthy basslines and no-nonsense 70’s drums.

The song starts with a slow and ominously spacey riff that sets us in a tacky Las Vegas wedding chapel, where we stand at the altar with Elvis. “You didn’t plan this, you were just having fun. It was a Weekend in Vegas, what have you done?”

After a brief sonic breakdown of electronic noise familiar to those who grew up with dial-up, we are plunged into a new, upbeat groove. “A Weekend in Vegas, Honeymoon in Debert. Wouldn’t you know I put it all on red, and I lost my shirt.”

The protagonist has accepted their fate, and is ready to party.
The Brood sees us out as the song fades into the desert horizon, synthesizer and guitar melodies dancing over the groove.

lyrics

You didn’t plan this
You were just having fun
It was a Weekend in Vegas
What have you done?

In this chapel now
She’s comin’ down the aisle
At the altar with Elvis
He looks at you and smiles

Out-of-body sensation
Watch the scene unfold
The vows are recited
Your blood runs cold

You didn’t plan this
You were just having fun
It was a Weekend in Vegas
What have you done?

A Weekend in Vegas
Honeymoon in Debert
Wouldn’t you know I put it all on red
And I lost my shirt

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
