Allen, Nate & The Pac-away Dots
Take Out The Trash
Elements of blues, punk and folk line the foundation of this rock and roll record. Written by an unemployed workaholic, Take Out The Trash covers the identity struggle between projecting a good image and actually being a kind person. The serious-but-hopeful lyrics are contrasted by a lighthearted beat, gang vocals and sometimes a kazoo, banjo or harmonica. Nate Allen (one half of the zany duo Destroy Nate Allen) is a white man in his 30's taking an stern look in the mirror, acknowledging privilege and pain, and inviting you to Take Out The Trash.
