Enjoy the kinetic lyric music video below for our first single release for 2023, Chinese Underground (April 28, 2023).

kutx.org - the Austin Music Connection - Song Of The Day, Wednesday, April 26, 2023, Chinese Underground.

Marching Chinese marimbas, pining erhu players, and guzheng samples are the orchestral flairs that Thom Kurtz mixes with his lyrical witticisms in Friends To The End’s single, Chinese Underground.

The upbeat and playful ballad takes sardonic stabs at authoritarian attitudes, with killer lines like, “I thought MZ was dead and buried / The kind of man who never married / Now that he’s back up on his throne / You better watch out or he’ll break your bones."

At first, the song seems to be mocking Mao, but the focal point is that some ideas never wither, wilt, or waver. Even though they ebb, they will resurface later.
