lyrics

Tryin’ out a Fender Twin
I had my Les Paul plugged in
My brother BB, he was there
I played a thing with triplets
BB said “Hey that was cool.
Can you play that again?”
And so I did and he said “Dude,
You should write a song with that.”
But I don’t know if there’s a song for the riff

Tried it in mixolydian
And then a minor version
BB filmed it with his phone
Sent it to our buddy, Taz
Taz texted back a curt message
With only one word, “garbage”
He might be trollin’ but still right
Some riffs weren’t meant to see the light
And I don’t know if there’s a song for the riff

about

The 2 Twangs Southborough, Massachusetts

The 2 Twangs are Reich Neffcopp and Morter Farmbo. Their newest album Mongoose features a more adrenalized collection of songs than we’ve heard from the duo since they first pressed “record” on the boombox in Morter’s basement 30 years ago.
