"We all been tranquilized, slow to recognize spirit never lied, time to Nativize ...this Red, White & Blue, they bled for your too, but Spirit never died, time to Nativize ...You gotta look to the future with an eye to the past you don't don't know the questions if you never asked, or looked into her Native eyes, We can make it stop, can't buy a mountain top 'cuz spirit never lies, time to Nativize this Red, White & Blue, We The People Are You ...for 500 years of lies, gotta Nativize ...You gotta look to the future with an eye to the past you don't don't know the questions if you never asked or looked into her Native eyes"

Well my mind it winds and wanders down the paths of vivid Lilacs, skyscrapers concrete, televisions and nightmares of this and that but the Dirt tastes good right here, yeah the Earth it is my Air, a day of Rainbow realities is cherished well my Juniper Earth breathes in my existence, Coyotes as well but the Dirt tastes good right here, yeah the Earth it is my Air, i found comfort in these River banks, met Freedom under a Cotton Tree, I'd never seen the starlit night without the street light to guide me but the Dirt tastes good right here, yeah the Earth it is my Air

about

16-song Dashdown LP to benefit Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples (www.7genFund.org). "Rock & Roll journeyman and Chicago stalwart "Dashdown is at it again with a lockdown-inspired collection of lo-fi gems. Drawing on his roots in pub and punk rock, 'The Dirt Tastes Good Right Here' features Punk Icon Tommy Stinson on a collection of tracks steeped in cigarette-smoke harmonies and loose 4-on-the-floor grooves; unpretentious rock & roll with just the right amount of swagger" (Bill Whalen, Blind Pigeon). The powerpoppy "Nativize", featuring Aztec flutist René Cardoza, speaks to Dashdown's belief that indigenous wisdom, knowledge & spirit hold the key to reversing our trajectory. 'Dirt' was Mastered by Andrew Garver (Chris Cornell, Rage Against The Machine, Madonna) ---- Dashdowns rocky past includes critically acclaimed albums with Waiting For Henry, Boom Hank, and Braam recording with the afore-mentioned Stinson, Brad Wood (Liz Phair), Mitch Easter (R.E.M.), Doug McBride (Izzy Stradlin) & Darrel Thorp (Beck). Dashdown played SXSW in 2019 in support of the decidedly mellow 3-song solo EP's 'Three from me' & 'Wish'. www.BlindPigeonRecords.com
