Kleptomaniac

by @spikedirection

Skirmish/Feast

Liner Notes

Prompt: kleptomaniac

#skirmish #s020323 #fawmshow #kleptomaniac #blues_rock #blues #punk

Looped drums and bass, improvised lyrics and a stolen riff. Which seems appropriate given the title.
Right now I'm chuffed with it tbh. My band could slot this into our set tomorrow.

Lyrics

Ugh ill transcript that later

Oooh, dig the distorted Rockin' slide... like how it goes from rhythm and leads.
Slick playing and cool vocal too.

Nice overblown vocal fits the big vibe here. Huge bass, drums, real nice pushing on the drums keeping things going, very solid groove. Everything feels big, wooly and well done. Digging the dirty dirty guitar riff.

It's just a good ol' classic Blues riff, performed well with some balls! Love the slide action!

Ah this is massive! It's rocking and messy and 100% larcenous. Love the slidework to bits. Great fun.

Everything's stolen. Borrowed. Repurposed. You make it sound new, though. Excellent! Nice work!

I love this groove and the concept. Yes, aren't we all robbers of others' ideas? Great phrase: klepto bluesman! Ooh, something shiny!

Brutal. It's midnight at Rosie's in Whitby. The covers band are knocking out one of their own songs after hours, then a hen party barges in and starts dancing, all bingo wings and tiaras. There is laughter and spilt cheap white wine.

Excellent, so excellent!

That guitar riff is a monster, who wouldn't steal it? Some creative slide playing in there and the improvised vocals work for me.
Kleptomania re. the blues is of course the story of rock music. Young white musicians supercharging existing blues riffs to form a new kind of music.

Reminds me of R.L. Burnside. Good old dirty blues-rock fun. Lots of goodies in here with the slide guitar interludes and bits of narration.

Yasssss love the overdrive!! So swampy and bluesy. Kleptomaniac bluesman fits so perfectly over the riff. "Ooo shiny!" What a great skirmish, good work!

There's an Iggy Pop vibe that I am really into, it's gritty, grimy and feels a bit dangerous but. It sounds like a bunch of rowdy guys just having a blast on stage together.

That phrase just feels so good Kleptomaniac Bluesman.....MMMM. nobody's looking, maybe I'll just slip it in my pocket. The guitar has me rocking at my desk. Great write. Thanks so much for hosting. Good luck with the show.

A stolen riff is a class move given the prompt! Great energy and drive. Magpie/shiny reference was my favourite! Cool tune!
[avatar]
Stolen or not - Great riff and energy in this. Lyrics to read would be nice!
