Hook up the power net and let the world enjoy! So begins the story of the band now known as Dictator Ship…

EXCLUSIVE STREAM: The Electric Mess Shares New Single – “City Sun”
Seattle’s Smokey Brights are back with a new single “72”
The band explains the meaning behind the song:
“72,” is a love story that takes place on a city bus. The 72 bus line, now defunct, previously ran in North Seattle in 2009, around the time lead vocalists Kim West and Ryan Devlin began dating. The song reimagines the now-married couples’ romantic reconnection taking place on that city bus as they’re both coming home from their respective dismal and mundane work days. West heartbrokenly sings “I spend my days with people that just look right through me, wishing someone would look at me like you used to.” The instrumentation on “72” mirrors the clangs, thumps, and bustle of a crowded city bus as West works up the courage to ask, “So what are you doing tonight? I ain’t got nothing tonight. My stops just after the light. People can start again right?”
