WKGB perform Kids Today (studio) - EMS Vocoder



"Winter 1977/78. Guitar, bass, drums, MiniMoog, EMS Synthi AKS, EMS Vocoder, RMI 300B. David Goessling, Dennis Kelley, & me. Mixolydian Studios in Boonton, NJ, 8 tracks & Don Sternecker engineer. Sometime in 1978 or 79 these tapes were used as pre-show tunes for DEVO. The band WKGB (duo of Dave & Dennis) opened for DEVO at Wollman Rink in Central Park that summer.

Dark skies are overhead,
"Not far". God said.
Black smoke and a dead cat,
Kids today know where it's at.

The air is getting hot,
stoned bliss it's not.*
If I could read your mind
I wonder what I'd find.

(kids today know where it's at)

Dark skies are overhead,
"Not far". God said.
Smoke Rise and a dead cat,
Kids today know where it's at.

*or "stoned kids eat snot" depending on my mood that night."
