On Bended Knee

Live at Bushwick Book Club Seattle: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

"On Bended Knee" is an original written for Robert C. O'Brien's Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The guitar and bass are built on a Boss RC-600 and triggered live, with Polybanderous singing and playing sax over the top. This was filmed at Royal Room in Seattle, WA.

Bushwick Book Club Seattle hands musicians a book and asks them to write original music about it, then perform their works live to book club members. This song is written for Polybanderous' new album, Behavioral Sink, which is a term conied by John B. Calhoun who conducted experiements for the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health).

Recorded live at Phinney Neighborhood Center, Seattle
