More Music
Hey Ho Trip and Go
Release date: 2022-11-18. A psychedelic rock track based on some old lyrics by Syd Barrett, or actually by the English poet Sir Henry Newbolt. Long story short: In 1968 Syd took some lyrics from an old nursery rhyme called "Rilloby-Rill" for his song "Octopus". Now Friendly Antenna has made a song about it. Fun for the whole family! A tribute to Syd, psychedelic London and the UFO club. It's all in the song.
Walking on the Sun
Release date: 2022-10-17. Third single with a strong basement boogie rock vibe. 'Walking on the Sun' was originally written and recorded as a cassette demo by the underground act Homo Erectus back in the late 90s. Now, 25 years later, Friendly Antenna has recorded his own version of the song.
