Neurotic Erotica

Inspired by a business trip to Hollywood and the sights and sounds of the LA music scene, Jude began writing songs for an imaginary rock band he called Fetish. The project soon began to take on a life of its own; characters emerged, a story line was hatched, and the project began to emerge in the shape of a movie script. Jude drafted a synopsis and wrote and recorded an accompanying edgy soundtrack album called, Neurotic Erotica, reminiscent of early David Bowie and Iggy Pop records. Jude then collaborated on a screenplay version of the project with poet, Blake Parker. The finished script, Drop Dead Scene, is the story about the rise and fall of a group of rock ‘n roll misfits, set against a satirical backdrop of music industry hype and was Jude’s first foray into dramatic writing and composing music ‘in character’. 

 
When all the faces are lit up from the inside
Lit up by the light of alcohol, light of sex
Got that glossy look, that junk-light shine
Shines up through the skin, everybody marked up by
Razor highs, lightnin’ kisses
Eyes bruised by bad telephone vibes
legs jitter under the table
They all cranked up on virus blue radio jive
And yeah . . then I’m outta there
Go out on those little silver wires connect up the stars
