Little Miss Savory 03:03
lyrics

LITTLE MISS SAVORY The girl is sweet Buy her some flowers, get cha some hours Her honey-spun hairdo and sweetlips yearn to satisfy But sweet can become sour when her charms have lost their power Dry bitterness doesn't work Better yet is finally find the arms of your little miss Little Miss Savory Will you please save me? Little Miss Savory I like them Spicy girls -- I need a little bit of burn in 'em señoritas Spicy girls -- you'll feel the fire from inside But Spicy girls It's never, never ever better if it ever turns to bitter Bitter girls: They like to serve it cold I met her one night out at the jazz club She was the one in the flower pants She was the dream-girl -- She was the One and it was obvious the everyone Our romance was favored Our gaze never wavered Every moment savored

Syrian Girl 03:11
lyrics

SYRIAN GIRL Before I wish you goodnight Before I bid you adeiu We don't know how long we'll live If we live through the night It took some time to be born But now it's time to die Because you're Daddy's Little Girl and I messed with your mind My little Syrian girl Barely sixteen -- she was old for her age (and quite developed) Almost nineteen -- what to do when September comes? Off to college -- will the post-man be our love connection How long can I wait? These college girls are beckoning Understand my reckoning My little Syrian girl Barely senior -- she was girl no more (but still in high-school) Almost junior -- what to do when the Real World calls? Out to Cali -- will I join the ranks of fellow dropouts? I can hardly wait. These LA girls are beckoning Time to face our reckoning My little Syrian girl It was only mutual attraction She was looking fine in her traction I had nothing to offer but my adoration If I do not say what I'm thinking and I do not do what I'm wanting how can you call it? How can it be cheating if we don't kiss? When all I can think of is how I miss My little Syrian girl

DO IT We go together like Paris and porn Just without all the paparazzi and scorn We go together like patient and shrink One does the whining and one's there to think Yeah, yeah, that's what doesn't do it, yeah, yeah We go together like sugar and spice A pinch of everything that's naughty and nice I know that look means you want to be seen We'll I'm'a looking at you and I see that you're looking right back at me Yeah, yeah, that's what's gonna do it, yeah, yeah What you say you knew it, yeah, yeah, that we're gonna do it We go together like whisky and ice Improves your chances with ladies and dice We go together like pickles and cream Strange tastes have a way of becoming your dream

Forget You 02:49
lyrics

FORGET YOU Pedal to the floor Techno dripping ecstacy She is sitting on top of me Dreams are coming true Dreams I've had of you Dreams that I could never lose Spinning 'round the bends Taking twists like Slip-N-Slide Her brown hair and her soft thighs are too good to be true Yeah, she's married too What's a boy supposed to do? All I want now is to forget you Every night I dream of you You love me as I love you I wake in a sweat! All I want now is to forget you And get back to before you Before I fell for you All I want now is to forget you Shots for everyone Doubles, triples, what the hell? 'Cuz the night is young and we'll party 'til the dawn Let's get real gone And I'll tag along with her Now's my chance to pee Creep around the bush -- Let's see if I can just puke subtly before she knows I'm sick Beer and shots don't mix Why do I get dumb around chicks? All I want now is to forget you My friends still prefer you My mom still pen-pals you Enough is enough! All I want now is to forget you Every song is about you One day I’ll disrobe you But all I want now is to forget you Why did you have to go and get married when you knew I was in love with you? When will I meet someone who's just as beautiful? I will wait 'til you divorce him. All I want now is to forget you All I want now is to forget you

Goodbye Song 01:43
lyrics

GOODBYE SONG This is our bed and as such we must share it This is our life with no way to repair it This is the past -- the future's our present This is the long, sad, simple goodbye song As I lay in sleepless slumber I know my nights are numbered She will take the bed when she goes and share it freely with who-the-fuck-knows This is the dream and as such we must wake up This is our love and as such we must break up This is the game and the price is to play it This is the long, sad, simple goodbye song I’m wide awake while I slumber Wondering who’s the guy you’re under I’ll be with her when you’re a no-show So find a bed and off you go This is the risk and as such we must take it This is our faith and as such we must shake it This is the lie that eats from the inside This is the long, sad, simple goodbye song

Broken Down 03:21

BROKEN DOWN I hate to hear her cry when she's broken down Stranded on the side, the other side of town I couldn't help even though that's all I want She's not getting free, she's not getting free Mother-Judge, Dean-Dad To compare I'd have to start again, Begin anew, and follow a different path Bloody banners wave when we're away Flicker light, a fierce fight To redeem I'd have to start again, Begin anew, and follow a different path Only martyrs have good things to say I hate to hear her cry when I've said too much She went from warm to cold, cold in my touch I couldn't stay even though that's all I want There's no getting free, there's no getting free

I'm Tolstoy 03:24
lyrics

I’M TOLSTOY She's Sigmund Freud / I'm Tolstoy When we're alone on the shelf there's no telling what we know She's a Kerouac / I'm Huxley Once open you won't turn back -- Better than a picture show You move back in across the street and tempt me like only and Audrey can I'm surprised when you ask me over 'cuz I was for sure that I was over you That I was over you What am I to think when you answer the door? I like your short-shorts but you've broken my heart before I can feel your eyes as I am walking by Or is it my mind that is reaching inside? What am I to think when you answer the door? I like your sly winks but you've broken my heart before Before She's Audrey's clone / I'm twenty Good setting for broken hearts Inspired actions feed the fool She's single now / No husband Her lover's the DSM Pick me up right after school She's Sigmund Freud / I'm Tolstoy When we're alone on the shelf there's no telling what we know She's a Kerouac / I'm Huxley Once open you won't turn back -- Better than a picture show She’s Carl Marx / I’m Plato What treasures lie t'ween the sheets?

BUBBLEGUM AND CANDLEWAX She's got it / That’s good You want it / You should She's magic innate You want to procreate She's lethal but wise She's working those thighs What's up girl? You free? I wanna trim your tree And she's got dreams that fool the facts Bubblegum and candlewax She reads her Farmer's Almanacs She gets her rings from Cracker Jacks And she won't quit 'til she succeeds Standing up or on her knees Yeah She's wearing cop cuffs You're pulling her puffs She's into the games You'll go two dozen frames She's tiny and sweet So light on her feet To get her on all fours: Get her behind closed doors Go get 'em I can feel it all changing Our lives together beginning Never knew it was so easy All it takes is hello We float like springtime breezes Fondling fields with flower kisses And though you’re gone I am a new man I learned a lot But now I’ve moved on

about

Mashing musical styles like a meat-grinder, BASHROCK is a Rock / Punk / Rockabilly power trio tour du force from Los Angeles, CA.

BASHROCK is a reset-button in today's music scene.

Their songs relay stories of love, loss, and life, lyrically ranging from the silly to the sublime. Their quiets are quieter and their louds are louder.

Their self-titled debut album "BASHROCK" bashrock.com was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Charles Goodan (Santana, Rolling Stones, No Doubt, Beck) and was recorded at Sound Factory in Hollywood, CA. charlesgoodan.com

BASHROCK is comprised of Gordon Bash on bass/vocals, Scott Landes on guitar, and Steve Kefalas on drums.

Each musician is significantly accomplished and professionally tried & true in his own right. Together, they form a magical, cohesive unit that far exceeds the sum of their individual parts.

Gordon Bash is known for his unique style; He plays his Rickenbacker electric bass through both a bass & a guitar amp simultaneously, giving him a uniquely versatile palate of sounds and dynamic range. People often think of him as both bass player and rhythm guitarist in one. When playing acoustic upright bass, he is known to spin, slap and stand on it, providing an energy rarely seen in a bass player/lead singer.

Scott Landes is known for his explosive stage presence and his highly inventive, psychedelic, yet often intensely rocking guitar textures. With Bash often filling the role of rhythm-guitarist, Landes is free to ascend into the stratosphere of harmonic complexities.

With a background in vocals and piano, Steve Kefalas plays his drums as if they are melodic instruments - contributing harmonies and melodies through drum fills and grooves. He is known for blending a rock-solid time-feel with virtuosic chops that manifests an intricate and electric backbone to the music. When his locomotive gets going, you're on it!

Watching BASHROCK provides the audience with a sense that they are seeing real music hearkening to a pre-computer age, created in real time - spontaneous and inspired - never played the same way twice. BASHROCK is a musical metaphor for living life freely, openly, and passionately. Sans click. All human. Unique in today's music scene.
