about

Ladies, gentlemen, and sugar coated twin/cities garage pop fans of all ages Cindy Lawson presents "New Tricks"!!
Cindy was fed an early diet of 60's pop as a result of her older siblings' record collection-the Beatles, the Supremes and the Ronettes were constantly on the hi fi growing up. As she grew older, she'd hide under the covers at night with the AM radio tuned to the far away WLS Chicago station where Bowie, T-Rex, the Stones, and the Sweet kept her adolescent imagination fired up and she dreamt of being - not the girlfriend of the rock star - but the rock star herself. Her 80's band, the all-female Clams broke a few barriers and a few hearts in the Minneapolis indie rock scene before disbanding in 1989. To their great surprise, their recordings are now re-emerging to rave reviews nationally and internationally and Cindy herself has regrouped with a new band that's energized by her early influences and the pure joy of playing to live audiences again. The first song on the album "How it Feels" captures the exuberance and freedom of the teen years as seen by someone finally escaping the oppression of self-doubt.

lyrics

Left home in a beat up Pinto
Crushin' cigarettes beneath our heels
We pretended to be the bad girls
We wanted to know just how it feels

Blew a flat along the highway
Stayed in the car while the thunder pealed
Our bodies twisting in the back seat
We wanted to know just how it feels

Do you remember how it feels
Do you remember

You threw your innocence away
You could have had mine any day
But now I'm old and gray and I remember each day
How it Feels

Fireball flavored kisses taste like love when you're just seventeen
Then heartbreak crashes through
and kicks like a mule that's twice as mean

Do you remember how it feels
Do you remember

You threw your innocence away
You could have had mine any day
But now we're old and gray and I remember each day
How it Feels

Left home in a beat up Pinto
Crushin' cigarettes beneath our heels
We pretended to be the bad girls
We wanted to know just how it feels
