Up next on Inland Sessions, we welcome The Colourflies. A psychedelic and shoegaze experience!
Shoegaze has been described as a subgenre of indie and alternative rock characterized by its ethereal mixture of obscured vocals, guitar distortion and effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume. This description matches the sounds of The Colourfles. Soft vocals and thoughtful lyrics of frontman Matt Legard combined with guitar riffs that would fit right in with the grunge movement of the 1990's.

So tired Im going to clap for you Say it if you want Im going to clap for you Say it if you want Im going to clap for you But say it if its true Im going to clap for you Say you if you do You left me Waiting Why You left me Waiting Why And time might fade it You left me waiting Why?
I might cry for you And say it if you want If it's not for you Then don't you ask for much The happiness that you need Is inside yourself Such is beauty So say it isnt so You left me waiting Why?
You left me waiting Why?
And time might fade it Why?
You left me Oooooh!
I'm Matt.
I play guitar in The Colourflies.
We've been around for a long time.
We play music, we travel around.
I've been all the way in Alabama.
We've had some pretty crazy experiences, but, it's just fun getting in the van and then going, playing some other place and, you know, seeing new people and meeting new people and kind of getting a new experience to inspire what you do, hopefully ultimately, right.
I promised my teenage self I would play this.
This is for Mitch.
It's called Clarissa Joan Hart.
Youve been counting way past ten You've been pushed around again They say youre coming, and you dont know when Push and pull the weight again But it's you Youve been dreaming with a lack of sleep Only buy my soul for keep Movies, TV shows Out the door You tell me what I'm waiting for Is it you?
Have you ever tasted candy Some candy so sweet?
And is everything real dandy From me to me I guess that I But it's you I get inspired by things I don't like just as much as I do things that I do like.
Inane stuff I hear on the radio that I don't like very much, inspires me just as much as things that I really enjoy.
I enjoy Frank Zappa, I enjoy Jeff Buckley, Smashing Pumpkins, Swerve Driver, Janet Jackson, Phantogram I mean, the list, The Beatles are my favorite band ever.
Cheap trick.
Dismay me today Sickening in your subtle way And if you take it away I'll be free I should've told someone You taught me ways to be withholding You were the lonely one I should have learned to fill that hole in Delirious array The spectacle you create has something to say Purge my belly and Ill believe I should have told someone You taught me ways to be withholding You were the lonely one I should have learned to fill that hole in Why Sometimes my feelings Cloud my reasons Sometimes the seasons Clouds my feelings Sometimes reasons Cloud my feelings And sometimes my feelings Cloud my reasons I didn't have cable when I was five and all I watched is PBS, actually.
So, Sesame Street.
I have a stuffed animal, Grover, that's been with me in the studio on tour for like ten years.
So I'm I'm hugely into PBS.
It's just, interwoven into my life and personality on some level.
This is called Kung Fu Love Song because love can be a tussle sometimes.
The truth belies Into nothing you are Soaked in surprise in the off chance you were Cultured in lies in a landscape On your Who makes the one In the sun babe Who makes the one into nothing Who makes the one in the sun babe Who makes the one In the Sunday sideways The words can say the world conveying a lovely sense of all I know that seems trite I can imagine a place a sunshiny embrace with a taste that only seems Who makes the one In the sun babe Who makes the one Into nothing Who makes the one in the sun babe Who makes the one in the Sunday Sideways Who makes the one In the sun babe Who makes the one into nothing Yeah, who makes the one In the sun babe Who makes the one Into nothing There were times that remain temporarily insane In the meltdown Cooking my brain Making a change into nothing I am pulling along Light bright goes on In the same way Pull up the reins Make up the train Now that you are gone You are gone You are You are gone We just got with a new record label called Shore Dive Records.
When they put out our new record, which is called Staresque.
You could find the band on Instagram or YouTube.
There's countless YouTube videos.
We're on Spotify.
Everywhere that you can find music.
Pretty much.
That's where we are.
You can find me downtown, walking around, probably with a guitar.
So, yeah, we're everywhere.
Saturn will come around now, honey Saturn will come to the gods.
Saturn will come around now, honey Saturn will come Saturn will come Saturn will come Saturn will come I am so shiny and new and now baby I am so shiny for you I am so shiny and new now, baby Taste me and know It's true I am so shiny and new now, baby Taste me and know It's true I am so shiny and new Plane, rocket, or train I want to know you I don't care what mystery Bodes you Flow just as you say Into my old new I don't care Saturn will come surely here Saturn will come.
Erase your fear Jupiter comes God abound As Jupiter comes around Jupiter come sweetly and new Celestial body is here for you Jupiter comes within your reach Jupiter to beseech Shes your god God
