about
So, there was a band that we played with in San Antonio called Racketbox. We ended up partying with them a coupla times while we down there and their guitarist was an 18-year old who wouldn't tell anyone his real name but just went by "Mr. Foff" (which we misheard as "Mr. Foo" the first time we met him. Don't call a guy "Mr. Foo" if that's not his name, we quickly discovered.) Because he was underage, he had to take swigs out of a Jack Daniels bottle in the Racketbox band van and he kept on inviting everyone out to the van to share it with him. Next time we went down to Austin, Racketbox (who consisted of mostly military guys from Fort Hood in Killeen) had been shipped off to fight the Iraqi war (Operation: Rocknrollas versus Ayatollahs) and we never heard from him again.
lyrics
Another night, 12 other shitty bands,
Nothing to do, just sitting on our hands.
Then somebody new came into town,
He got us drunk, yeah, he turned the beat around.
And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff,
Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van?
And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff,
Will we ever meet again?
Illustrated man, the ink on his skin tells the tale.
Teen runaway, he’s done some time in jail.
Even though the show was pretty lame,
He earned our respect, but we never knew his real name.
And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff,
Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van?
And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff,
Will we ever meet again?
And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff,
Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van?
And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff,
Will we ever meet again?
(What happened to you, Mr. Foff?)
I’d like to know what happened to you, Mr. Foff.
I’m so glad we met that day, Mr. Foff.
With that long black hair and that badass leather jacket,
You’re my man,
You’re my man,
You’re my man with Jack in the van,
Mr. Foff.
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
