Live rehearsal of "So You Know" at Kindred Studios, Yarraville, Australia. The song is about getting off your arse (Aussie spelling) and getting things done. It can be so easy to get home from work and not do any music production or bass practice and simply veg out on the couch. However you only live once and you know there isn't that much time left The vocals are performed by Jason Demillo and he can also be heard on the George W Bush song - Dubya. So You Know Lyrics Verse Dont waste your time on entertainment Dont waste your time on a show You gotta do what you think gets you You gotta do what you must know Chorus You gotta show What you want me to go without So you know Where I left you or thereabout Verse Get on with it and dont be slow Its up to you how far you go I think its all up to you now You know you gotta let it flow Cause you know there isnt that much time left You can only do what you know You gotta do what you think gets you You gotta do what you must know

"Dubya" is a song about George W Bush and his Presidency of the USA. The lyrics are inspired by quotes from George W Bush or from his actions during the time that he was President. The vocals are performed by Jason Demillo who can also be heard on the Apell pop funk track "So You Know". The music is produced in a reggae / dub / dubstep style with many layers of drums, percussion, keyboards, bass and guitars. There are even 2 short jazz influenced filtered bass solos after each chorus. One of the last production elements added to the track were the Arabic / middle eastern sounding acoustic guitar parts on the chorus to tie in with the George W Bush theme of the song. "Dubya" Lyrics Verse: Drilled a lot of dry holes Causing conflict in their interest But a love of the game That is what got me in the business Through excessive years and afterward Selling supplies to work Its nice to be considered And be chosen again You know that colourful antics Make you seem a hypocrite But now in our private time That doesnt matter a bit Chew before you swallow Or you gonna choke on that Everyone has a choice to make Its time to face our facts Chorus: And never seek a permission slip To defend what works against us Its better to succeed with success than fail To defend Verse: If you find a person that youve Never seen before You know you better report it You know we must be sure Second guessing is second nature That is where we are And even when desire is crushed Its never very far We bring you justice or bring it to you You know justice will be done We will not tire, will not falter And we will not fail Now down in the dry town Announcing in the gym You all better report Before it all wears thin

A short sample of my performance at the 2005 Melbourne Fringe Festival. This is from a track called Suit Up where I have fun using delay while slapping away on my bass over a drum'n'bass groove.
