Being a drinker and living in a drinking town the observations that led to the creation of this song came pretty naturally. It was only a matter of time. Oh yes, I have been a member of the debauchery that is Nashville's nightlife. Where as, the partying life style of the rock and the roll can be stuffed with grand memories, prideful accomplishments and inspirations it is also accompanied by some of the most tragic stories a human being can handle. It is easy to lose your direction and become lost in a never-ending monotony of a certain lifestyle taking over the residence of where the soul of your art once lived separating you from what really matters. "Lord and Gods of Alcohol" is about getting caught up in an endless pattern of a superficial lifestyle and the call to arms to break the pattern and fight for the forward moving evolution of your life's path until your dying breath.

The tracks musical birth originated in the basement of a Bloomington, IN band's house at an after party celebrating the nights gig. Yes, there was booze involved.

We stood in a circle, as people in a conversation often do, and proceeded to beat box the first birth of the song in the style of a cappella. Yep, that happened.

Months later Chas, drummer of The Grayces, brought a riff to the table that was influenced by our prior "conversation" while on tour in Bloomington. We all felt there was a strong connection of the two sources and held up in the jam room until we created what is now 'Lord and Gods of Alcohol'.

The "Lord and Gods of Alcohol" music video provides a glimpse into a man of tedious vices, as he carries his companion of booze through the winding streets of the world, fighting for his personal evolution into the next stage of his life's journey in the midst of figuring out what and/or who really rules his life, trying to remember to never give up the fight for freedom and personal control.

This particular music video was the first music video that we have done that was solely conceptualized, directed, filmed and edited by the band.

The old film clips represented in the video are from old public domain archives of some footage that Thomas Edison shot back in the day. We had a lot of fun creating the video and hope to do more in the future. Check it out!
