    The Muggs
    Straight Up Boogaloo
    Release date: 3/21/2015


    The Muggs have returned with their 4th studio LP, Straight Up Boogaloo. On this killer new release, the band takes their signature sound in a new direction. Their versatility as great songwriters is evident as they tap into new musical territory yet continue to blow the roof off of the bar with their style of bluesy rock-n-roll!
    The album kicks off with the classic Muggs riffage of “Applecart Blues,” keeping the rock momentum on a steady course. After a pit stop in “Fat City,” Side A is rounded out by the one-two punch of the rockers “Lightning Cries” and “Spit and Gristle.” Side B kicks off with the sci-fi fueled “Roger Over And Out,” an opus inspired by the films of the one and only Roger Corman (see if you can list all the Corman films that get a nod in this jam!). The dark and dirty “Blues For Mephistopheles” worms its way into your ears before driving on into the next offering, a cover of the Black Sabbath Vol. 4 classic “Tomorrow’s Dream.” Closing out the record is the title track, a mid-tempo ballad that feels like the soundtrack of a small bar somewhere along a desolate, dusty highway road.

    The Muggs are releasing two bonus tracks(CD/Download only): A 12 minute version of the epic "Rattlesnake Shake" by the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac & a spirited version "Yer Blues" by the Beatles by way of the Rolling Stones DVD, "Rock n' Roll Circus" featuring The Dirty Mac.

lyrics

I can do what you want, run on down to fat city
If I do, if I do
I can play what you need, fly me down to fat city
If I do, If I do

You can say at one time you’ve made it
Lyrics sink like a stone
It’s the fall that you later regret
Broke and unknown
Like a page out of time, I’m faded
Yellow dusty and old
I could be what you want me to be
But no I wont

You can do what you want, run on down to fat city
It’s a ruse, it’s a ruse

If its fame by design, you’re right at home in fat city
It’s a ruse, it’s a ruse

You can say at one time you’re famous
Ethics sink like a stone
It’s the fall that you later regret
Broke and unknown
Like a page out of time I’m faded
Yellow dusted and old
We could be what you want us to be
But no we won’t

I can do what you want
Run on down to fat city
If I do, if I do
