Comment Share
Single   $0.75
Acoustic guitar, a touch of phase, Les Pauls,Beat Drums,Jazz Bass and lots of vocals tell the story of why girls care so much about their shoes.....or do they? Upbeat and slightly raucous at times the music settles into a swaying solo groove...

The Golden Dawn is a project involving musicians, composers and singers who live in France, Germany, England and the USA. All friends who have known each other for years Of the lot, Rob has worked as a professional musician for many years based in France and Werner has worked professionally in England. The others are all music lovers and players with David now starting out on his musical journey at university after playing in his school band for several years, and Gege, who has worked in too many countries to list here, is still the great sound engineer he has always been as well as being an inspiring drummer. The line-up is: Paul acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Werner, acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Torsten, acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Rob, electric guitar, bass guitar & vocals, David, bass guitar, Gege, drums and, last but not least, Jochen, with ideas, support & jam sessions on his various guitars. Because of the nature of the band the line-up varies from two to five in general. For example, Girls Care was recorded by three of the band, Werner, Torsten & Rob, and Round & Round was recorded by two of the band, Paul & Rob. Both recordings were first and only takes. Indeed TGD like spontaneity, live playing, open arrangements, one shot takes, improvisation, interesting sounds, atmosphere and grooves.

Story behind the song
Torsten had the first line "Why do girls care about their shoes?" and five chords. Back in Bremen from Alabama he joined Rob and Werner at the latter's home studio in his ground floor back room on a sunny afternoon in August. Torsten was given a Japanese acoustic and a mike. Rob kept three of the five chords and started out to get the feel of the groove, playing a Les Paul. Werner set up a vocal mike for him too.Torsten strummed in with Rob,Werner hit the record button on the digital mixer then got Fred Frizzle going on Beat Drums before picking up his own Les Paul and hitting the rhythm. Rob started vocals, bringing in new lyrics and the melody, was joined by Torsten on a sort of solo duet. Next came a Les Paul solo, then fade out. It was the first time the number was played by the band at all and this is the first and only take recorded. Next day Rob played a first take rolling bass line, then Werner and he did a complete mixdown before a master being done for Virginia Beach on Rob's laptop. Rough sounding but great fun!
