To All You Sketchy Listeners,

The Sketchy Indians' debut single "All You Need" is slated to appear in the upcoming motion picture "Bundy:An American Icon". The sounds of the indians adventrous-mellow-pop blended with the hysteria of psycho-killing-juggernaut, Ted Bundy, is bound to leave you speechless. This project, deemed utterly impossible by most mortals standards, will undoubtebly glorify the actions, nay, talents of Bundy and remind us all why he is still famous. I might be overstepping my bounds, but I hope, wish, and pray this will be one movie that will be loved generation after generation and cherished by all.

"I Love Ted Bundy." (JARED MELVILLE, apparent Ted Bundy enthusiast)

Category: Music

our album is done... it will be available:

1) starting may 15th, in europe, on our european tour-- if you want one, talk to us before/after our shows with aMaNdA rOgErS

2) after we get back from europe in june (around june 17th, U.S.A.)

here's what people are saying about "Sippin' 40s":

"FUN SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER!" ~ LA Times

"THRILL RIDE OF A LIFE TIME!" ~ Chicago Sun

"HOPE YOU BROUGHT A LEAK-PROOF PLASTIC BAG, BECAUSE
YOUR FACE IS GOING TO BE MELTED OFF, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT!" ~ Rolling Stone

"The Sketchy Indians, in their debut release, "Sippin' 40s," have reinvented the drink coaster. Some may claim that this glorious album, this veritable piece of art, is the greatest achievement in the history of man. I disagree. This is probably the worst piece of filth I have ever encountered. From the very first note of the very first track, the sonic bombardment you encounter smacks of having someone rip your ears off with a pair of rusty vice grips. The lyrics are meaningless, the melodies are uninspired. You'll hear more interesting things coming out of a stone. This album reminds me of every Planet of the Apes sequel. But hey, what do I know? Oh wait, that's right. Everything." ~ Jared Melville

  We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—

World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.



-Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
'Ode' from his book Music and Moonlight (1874)

friends and indians:

the premiere, bound-to-be-historic, debut audio recording by the sketchy indians is currently in the works. it stands to be an artistic statement of unsurpassed importance and fury. it will literally change your life in this-- an every other-- dimension.

yes, it is on the horizon. in fact, the only obstacle delaying the album's immediate production is the fact that the songs are so mind-blowingly fantastic. we know that you're simply not ready for it yet, and won't be until the first few blissful notes enter your ear holes some time in the near future.

be cautioned: updates will likely be infrequent in the coming weeks or months as we will be working very, very hard. but don't fret, because we won't let you down.

HYPE IT UP

There's a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again


Where you belong my love lost friend.

I heard someone say once that great lyrics make you think thoughts and great music makes you feel feelings, but a great song makes you feel thoughts.

With this as my guiding criteria, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" epitomizes this sentiment. The lyrics encapsulate the concepts of discipline, perseverance, individuality, respect, a positive approach to life, and a reminder not to take it too seriously after all. Better, and in fewer words, than any self-help publication could ever hope to accomplish.

This highly concentrated virtual psychovitamin recipe for a successful life is honeycoated in a melody so simple and sweet, most people can only dream of coming up with something like that on their own. To top it off, the whole package is metabolized like water as a small child and ages like a fine wine in your soul until the day you die.

Pretty good song.

When sunshine is not enough
To make me feel bright
It's got me suffering in the darkness
That's so easy come by on the road-side
Of one loong life-time

It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue

When you stand there, watch tired bodies
Full of sickness and pain
To show you just how helpless you really are
When you get down to the truth
It hurts me

It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue

When I think of the life I'm living
Pray God help me; give me your light
So I can love you and understand
This repetition that keeps me here
Feeling deep blue

It's got me deep blue
You know I'm deep blue
