Joseph Anderson Found this song on a compilation CD and was ecstatic to find the band on Bandcamp. Favorite track: Chokito Bar.

See You Tonight Do you remember that feeling when smoke gets in your eyes It’s a momentary pain and you know that it will subside Yeah I feel that way when I see your face Remember a time, a feeling or a place I’m not very certain bout the way I’m living But I know that I will survive I’ll see you tonight like every other time we’ll say hi, maybe next time Yeah I’ll see you tonight, when this town comes alive Yeah I’ll see you tonight Every Saturday night I do the same things over and over Ask myself why am I going to the Town Hall hotel, I can never stay sober…. I’m not very certain where the girls are going But I know there not going where I’m going Yeah I’ll see you tonight when this town comes alive And I’ll be with the Ghosts when this town comes alive Yeah I’ll be with the ghosts when this town comes alive Will I see you tonight?

Chokito Bar Caught yourself going down again And I’ve tried a 100 times It’s more than just a bunch of chemicals Constitutes a state of mind Yeah I took you to the movies And I watched you chew chokitos Now it’s running all down your mouth Yeah you say you wanna be happy But you think you gotta disconnect your mind Why you gotta drop your bundle baby I pull the strings and you blow you mind Yeah you were looking really moody I had to buy you more chokitos And now your taking up all my time There’s no time for hate… Yeah you getting me really wild Yeah you think it’s all gone too far When your whole life is encoded In the middle of a chocolate bar Yeah get a grip now hold on now baby You gotta believe how I get my passion How I keep the smile on my face I ain’t got time to think about hating I ain’t got time to think about losing my helmet Yeah you can take all the chocolate you want Yeah you can pop a few more pills Yeah I can tell you something….

about

I could give you the full rundown and bio of this underrated band but it's a long tale...all you need to know and hear is in this fantastic compilation put together by Brother Brick (and later Leadfinger) main man Stewy Cunningham and Off the Hip Records out of Melbourne. This double cd release came out in 2006 and is all sold out I'm told. Many little gems of songs within if ye have ears for exploring and seeing the gold in the dust...The Brick was another band I played in that survived off the sniff of an oily rag. We had the songs and the attitude but lacked the money or industry clout. The Brick existed from about 1992 til 2000 in various line ups and locations. This release is worth buying for tracks like Chokito Bar, See You Tonight and Beyond My Hands alone...don't forget to check out the other volume of killer live stuff and demos. Thanks for checking out the Brick. Brick out the Jams!!!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Brick

"Sydney, Australia's heavy hitting rock juggernaughts, BROTHER BRICK, invade the land of the free with their three song seven-inch Estrus debut slab, the "No Turning Back" 7" ep! Drawing inspiration from the likes of Clawhammer, Radio Birdman, The Wipers, The New Christs, The Fun Things and The Celibate Rifles, these hard drinkin', ham fisted piledrivers first got it on after the demise of Brother Stews other power charged combo The Proton Energy Pills packed it in a few years back (note: Stew also slung guitar for the great Asteroid B-612!!), and churn out a pummeling jolt of hard-edged, hook ridden rock action that'll not only shake the goddamned rafters but break'em! So, slap that stick to the floor and get ready for a heavy hittin' hammerhead rock o.d. from Oz's seedlings of the new freedom...BROTHER BRICK and their "No Turning Back" 7" ep! Limited Edition of 1,000 copies! Estrus Crust Club single."
