The Loaded Poets – “Beat Scene”

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Guest Post by Jim Wood of The Loaded Poets:

Penned during the band’s college days when they shared off-campus housing while attending Rutgers University in New Jersey, Beat Scene is a sneering anti-ode to the poseur club scene that existed in New Brunswick at the time.

Loaded Poets’ much preferred the dank poetic womb of the Court Tavern to the glue-do pretentiousness of The Melody, and this Ramones-esque romp drives the point home; performed live at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York to celebrate the digital release of the feature film The Front Man, which focuses on Loaded Poets.

Loaded Poets’ wrote this white funk gem at a recent birthday jam for keyboard player Dan Snyder. The tune tells the sad tale of a suburbanite who thinks he has it made until the local cops take a liking to his wife. We’ve all been there.

Performed with swagger at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York, where Loaded Poets celebrated the digital release of their feature film The Front Man.

Written during Loaded Poets’ 10-year anniversary jam, Lock On Your Head is a spirited blues crawl bemoaning the imprisonment of the human mind, and is more relevant today than it was when first written.

Loaded Poets perform it with gusto at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York, where they celebrated the digital release of the feature film The Front Man, which focuses on Loaded Poets. Guitarist John Kayne is in his element and at his best during his scorching solo.
