The Groovy Times Drop Pure Fretboard Chaos on 'They Shoot Movies, Don't They?'
East Hollywood slap bass, wild horn hits, and unfiltered guitar shred rolled into one noisy cartoon jam.

Tracked out of an East Hollywood space called the Rabbit Hole, 'They Shoot Movies, Don't They?' sounds like somebody tossed Steve Vai records, Red Hot Chili Peppers slap bass, and a stack of Saturday morning cartoons into a blender. Built on Reaper using Steven Slate drum samples and guitars dubbed Chel and Jucika, the track runs entirely on fast fingers and zero shame.
The centerpiece is the chorus, where a massive, squealing guitar lick trades punches with a brass section over a rubbery bass groove. It is bright, completely unhinged, and totally detached from whatever is trending right now, sounding like studio musicians having way too much fun in a room full of gear.
