about

For Eric Avila "Max" Friedenberg, 1968 - 2014

lyrics

We were raised in a school by the C.I.A.
Made out, had house parties while the parents were away
We learned to play together in those basement shows
We dreamed we'd change the world with the songs we wrote

In the malls we blew the wages of youth (like they told us to)
We looked as good as we felt
We were so in tune
Suburban scenes and forest drives
Not all of us would arrive alive

We took it to the max
In the script of the bridge
With a perfect kiss

We took it to the max
In spooky rooms
Under killing moons

We took it to the max
Standing on a beach
With our New Gold Dreams
We took it to the max

Oh boy, I heard the news today
I'd take it to the max
But you've gone away
Empty and dark, the malls stand silent
The basements all flooded
Old dreams have rusted

It's so hard to believe it's true
I want to sing our songs
but I can't remember the tunes
Endless crying skies
and wondering whys
You never were much for goodbyes

You took it to the max
The birth of truth
Forever sonic youth

You took it to the max
The hungry wolves
and banshee screams

You took it to the max
Clinging to the sun
You were the only one
You took it to the max

about

Sid Luscious and The Pants San Francisco, California

The greatest new wave band that never was!

Childhood prodigies, Sid Luscious and The Pants were abandoned by the industry in the early 80s, on the verge of success. Other bands stole their sound and rode it to the top of the charts, while Sid and The Pants went their separate ways and grew up.

Decades later, the band has reformed. Older, wiser, and more new wave than ever.
