Serene Dominic presents…Brooklyn Beard!

No band has been more blatant about their wish to be mistaken as an indie rock band as Brooklyn Beard, a Melbourne chicken-in-a-basket supper club duo who had neither facial hair nor a Park Slope P.O. Box number. Thusly Horbitt and Shanelle Bogan migrated stateside for some much needed indie cred, going as far inserting the “I-word” into this 2005 song title to secure some college radio airplay.

Stacking the deck, they heaped on copious helpings of distortion every three bars of what was essentially a bossa nova number. The ruse worked but none of the subsequent soundalike follow-ups, “Independent Survey,” “Independent Means” and the desperate “Up to My Neck In Dependents” failed to sustain their charade any longer, not when actual bearded groups from Ohio, Philadelphia, Illinois and Nevada began invading Brooklyn.

lyrics

Independent Thought
Words and Music by Serene Dominic

Well my eyes well up when the music's sad
Then I'm never quite sure if the movie's bad
But
I'm conditioned to run when I feel boxed in
Like a voodoo doll at the head of a pin
Coz it's been so long since I felt in love
And it's been so long since I was guilty of
Some in-dependent thought
