The Privates

Debuted: January 9th, 2009

Now Playing:

“You Never Take Me Dancing”

This song shares its title with a recent Travis Tritt single. Let me explain. There was a billboard on Broadway for months that advertised his new album that said "Featuring 'You Never Take Me Dancing.'" Having never heard the song, we found that it was fun to make up a song with those words instead. We sang the song in a nasal drawl and rhymed "dancin'" with "Ted Danson," it was all good fun. Then one day I realized that the phrase "You Never Take Me Dancing" fit in perfectly with the melody to this Privates song. If you sing those words along with the opening riff, you'll see what I mean. -Dave Paulson

About:

The Privates were an obvious choice for the debut of Lake Fever Sessions. From overheard conversations of putting together a "casual rock band" to their work with Jason Bullock on two EP's and one full-length, these four guys have always had a place in our ears and hearts. Long-term relationships notwithstanding, we love the music these four have always created.

While their songs shine with infectious charm, there is a certain paranoia and jaggedness in their musical point of view. It is this symbiotic juxtaposition of pure pop and weird art that makes it work. And while the whole melodic, art-damaged band schtick is nothing new, what makes The Privates truly special is that their's is obviously an organic and honest expression of their talents.
