no the title is not a reference to the dresden dolls but it is named after a band in the mid 90s in my home town of hull. of all the different types of music i write and record this is the last of my fake bands to show (mike tv). actually i just realised that i have another set of songs that have a electro disco feel but they never got tied under a name. maybe i post one sometime. anyway i digress!
as an adolescent in the 90s i stayed away from all the britpop stuff and embraced the music from across the pond. those were the days! god i sound old! the smashing pumpkins with siamese dream, hole, pavement, mudhoney and sonic youth. (was not keen on nirvana though).
for years when it came time for me to do a guitar solo i'd just improvise as fast as i could, throwing finger tapping, harmonics and whammy bars into the mix, but when you are trying to solo over a grunge, shoegaze type riff it obviously doesn't work too well.
this song kinda reminds me of the pumpkins "why am i so tired". i could've kept playing over the chord sequence for aeons. i think i recorded two solos and merged the best bits.
