innerouter @ cold garden (live performance)

innerouter performing just druid @ cold garden

We're super thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to perform in one of our favourite spots in Calgary. If you've never visited Cold Garden, do yourself a favour and visit this special brewery in the heart of Calgary's Inglewood neighbourhood. Their beers are tasty to be sure, but the colourful art, antique furniture, communal tables, weekly community events, craft and game nights, live music, support of the arts and worthy causes truly make this place like no other.

innerouter is a dream grunge alternative rock shoegaze band, formed by members of The Wind Whistles, 3 Inches of Blood, Tegan and Sara, Lionz, Laura Hickly, Curtains. The intent is to inspire personal transcendence through dissociative experiences; user mileage will vary.

Filming: David Hurd & Erin Prout

Just Druid is a song about corporate 'culture' and all the bullshit expectations and motivational 'initiatives' it employs to maximize profitability for shareholders. If you're looking for the studio version of this song you will be waiting a while, since this song is from our second album and we haven't yet released our first. :D

Lyrics:

And step with your name into the room
Stale and dry as a grave, yearning to bloom

I've come to father up your life
Take your faults and make you right

Fools clutch onto beans, unfold your hand
Grew taller than trees, up off the land

The room shifts to freezing
Hate stands to reason
These clowns will never put this circus to rest
Research elation, paid for vacation
These sociopaths will never put this to test
Let it rest

And step with your name into the room
Stale and dry as a grave, yearning to bloom
