The Rare Occasions
Drawing inspiration from each successive wave of garage rock, The Rare Occasions put their own dark spin on retro. The LA-via-Providence group meshes angular guitar riffs with sweet indie pop melodies, from the blistering psych-anthem “Dysphoric” (Feelers) to the dreamlike “Bug Eyes” (Futureproof). This variability and depth of styles, layered with lyrical themes of existentialism and self-reflection, are what both define The Rare Occasions and set them apart.

Lonely In The Tree
this about a psychotic boy sitting in a tree asking "why won't you sit with me?" and fails to recognize how he gives the girl he likes every reason to not want to sit with him LYRICS- Lonely in the trees Why won’t you sit with me? Oh, hey! Didn’t see you there Did a web catch your hair? You fall into mud But I won’t help you up Easier to make fun Now you sob and run But I wonder why… Why won’t you sit with me? more

Daemon the Monkey God (with 11)
This is a concept song about Frankenstein, the first verse is the doc, second is the monster. LYRICS - I’m puzzle piecing so surgically cus I’m building up One Piece Oh my God, I think this shit is alive! Are the pieces gon jump me? No, I’m not afraid as a realist, taking the pain just to deal it Wait, I meant ‘deal with’ Psych! No, I don’t not care… come watch me pull out my hair You pull up here and pop out with popcorn but nobody’s there This Houdini act got you claiming the share Really eye to eye since you lent me an ear Time for the show, baby, pull up and cheer Time for the show, baby, pull up a chair Time to show em’ what the doctor prepared Pouring our potions we toast to our fears OH YEAHHH I’m on the run From what has become Yes I fucked up, HMMM? But fuck everyone…. Fuck everyone. (All in) I feel like a mess Always stuck with what’s in my head Can’t shake off this stress, what is my purpose? I can’t accept, I’m an incoherent wretch Put here to destroy something that contains no joy Stuck in a rut of in-comprehensive sludge What more can I say? There’s just something in my brain It’s telling me to kill of my disease Slaving away, wasted all of these precious days Witness what you create just to say that you’re ‘insane’ WOOO!more
