Biography

Emo/indie rock band founded in 1993 in Champaign, IL. The original line-up consisted of [a447597] (vocals/guitar), [a1049558] (guitar), [a522719] (bass), and [a629921] (drums). Of that original quartet, only Roy was actually from Champaign. The other members were all from the Chicago area and were attending college in Champaign. Jay Ryan, nearing graduation, left after a few practices and was replaced by [a483932]. Also, [a1656894] joined the band as 2nd vocalist. This line-up would last for 2 shows and record one song before Ruess departed. In the summer of 1994, [a572343], another Chicago-area native, joined the band as lead vocalist. Shortly afterwards, Pete Havranek, unhappy with the band's musical direction, left the group. The band had been planning on recording their first EP when Pete left, and the covers had been printed prior to the recording so he was credited on the first pressing despite not actually playing on the record. With Pete's departure, Chris stepped away from being the full-time lead singer and picked up the guitar. In mid-1999, the band announced their impending break-up, playing their last shows in the summer of 1999, hitting Champaign, Chicago, and Milwaukee (the hometowns of all the members).

LYRICS

Take me out tonight
Where theres music and theres people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I havent got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see light

Driving in your car
Oh, please dont drop me home
Because its not my home, its their home
And Im welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I dont care, I dont care, I dont care

And in the darkened underpass
I thought, oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldnt ask

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I dont care, I dont care, I dont care

Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I havent got one
I havent got one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us, so what
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light, never goes out
There is a light, never goes out
