Get Wasted

Far across the water in another land
You were someone who mattered
Someone who dared to take a stand
But now the tide is turning
Left your voice muted and bland
Came back another foreign memory
Of never knowing where you’re going to land
So go get wasted in corner by yourself
Drunk on cheap wine, crown and soda
By yourself

And I could see you wither
On a sea of golden sand
Looking for escape but you’re never
Getting back to where you came again
I could rescue you my baby
If you’d only take my hand
But it comes with giving up the memories
Of the things you’ll never have

So go get wasted in the corner by yourself
Drunk on cheap wine crown and soda
In a back room here in hell
Go get fucked up on you’re your own time
Don’t your dare waste mine as well
Go get wasted in the corner
By yourself

All the pretty things
Hymns and harmonies
You could ever sing
They don’t mean a thing
So get wasted in the corner
By yourself

Minnesota

Hey Minnesota you’re so lovely when its cold and the snow is falling wrapped up in furs and under nude.
The light of the fires pale ambers like your skin on a lonely winter night with a waning crescent moon
No one seems who surrounds you seems to realize just how alone you feel at night
Beliefs you had about the world have faded out replaced with a lie
Convince yourself the empathy you never knew a clever ruse they all put on
Just to gain an entry into the world inside your mind

I’m amazing anyone could live their life in this way
But you changed my mind
So come and stay
Let your cynicism just fade away
And just be tonight
Be all right
Be tonight
Till day breaks

Hey Minnesota here’s a toast to all that’s past
To new beginnings to all the mistakes we can’t undo
Watching the fire slowing flicker as the light fades to embers
Nothing to say nothing to do
And now the world is sleeping as you realize this was a fight you never knew
Ideas come to light and then they whither up fade out and die
Just another bottle of some empty talk fleeing the thoughts you left behind
When its all over Will you awake a new you

Chorus

Chorus

Pretty Good Kids

We were all pretty good kids growing up in that town
Maybe I have been happy if I’d have stuck around
Something called and I just had to go
Tell you what but I really just don’t know

So I moved on to the city light
Getting lost almost every night
Oh the past just goes away
Some folks claim that it’s just better that way

And all alone I think about what I never like to talk about
Oh the memories of yesterday made golden by decades
What’s the point trying to reconnect
Like a bad trip into the past
Oh the memories of what we had and it ain’t all bad

I wanna ride into the sun
See the winding road that clouds my view and goes to where
I don’t know and I really don’t care

We were all pretty good kids growing up in that town
Maybe I have been happy if I’d have stuck around
Something called and I just had to go
Tell you what but I really just don’t know

Every time I look at you
I’m expecting to see someone new
Fondly thinking of the way were without slipping backwards
Trying to hard to impress, feigning pretty lives and happiness
Living fantasies of glory days that were never that way

Chorus

Chorus

Where to Start

It’s never easy looking down at blank paper
Expecting something but getting nothing
You wanna finish but you don’t know where to start
The culmination of your life just failed you
The words falter but maybe later
You’re gonna finish but you don’t know where to start

Where to start

Surrounded by a world of failed creation
A lack of confidence or resignation
The sound of silence slowly drown out by your heart
And in a sudden fit of desperation
A blind rage of inspiration
You vow to finish but you don’t know where to start

Where to Start

EMERGING LAS VEGAS-BASED INDIE ROCKERS SZABO EARN A HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA NOMINATION FOR ‘PRETTY GOOD KIDS’ AS THEY HEAD TO
TRIPLE A AND COLLEGE RADIO STATIONS

***

The Four-piece Recently Appeared on KVVU-TV / FOX’s ‘More Access Show’ and KTNV-TV / ABC’s ‘Morning Blend’ in Vegas

Rising indie rockers Szabo (www.szaboband.com) scored their first Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA) nomination for the song “Pretty Good Kids” in the Adult Contemporary/AAA category. Szabo and other nominees will be honored at the ceremonies that will take place at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood on Thursday, November 21, 2013. The HMMAs honor music from visual mediums, individuals who create and produce it, and both mainstream and independent musicians from around the globe.

The Vegas-based band is also set to launch a radio campaign for their new EP Get Wasted, with adds expected to hit Triple A and College Radio stations across the country July 22. The four tracks from the EP are promoted by radio veterans Peter Hay and Sali Zeil of Twin Vision.

The band recently celebrated the release of Get Wasted with a special party at Artifice Bar & Lounge following local TV appearances on FOX’s More Access and ABC’s Morning Blend.

Led by charismatic front man Elliot Szabo, the four-piece act has emerged as a powerhouse live band rooted in Sin City in recent years. Their high-octane, raw indie sound is emerging at a time when ’90s rock resurgence is on an upswing, regaining an important foothold in the alternative music market.

The debut EP Get Wasted is a fiery mix of distorted guitars reminiscent of ’90s alt-rock and keyboard and electronic textures synonymous with classic new wave. The creative seeds of the recording were planted months before when Elliot took up a wild challenge to enter songs in a contest sponsored by an indie magazine and subsequently, over the course of the next two weeks, wrote 12 songs while holed up in a local studio.

Szabo’s founding core includes Elliot, bassist Gary Coveney and drummer Austin Perry with the recent addition of keyboardist Andy Vieluf. Get Wasted was recorded and mixed at Battle Born Studios, owned by Vegas-based superstars The Killers.
