  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The album jacket, designed by our graphics guru Mike Virok, features a reworking of images from a Mick Chorba collage. It's such a joy to see this design in a 12 x 12 format - but the real allure here is the beautiful sound of this album on the vinyl. Also included in this order is the 11 x 11 full color insert / lyric sheet, the SF Beer Tour sticker (designed by freelance artist Jason Kochis), and the "The Successful Failures" classic logo sticker in green. With the order of the vinyl you will also receive a digital download and physical cd of an intimate acoustic version of the full album. So let's tally it up....12" record, digital files of entire album, plus digital download/physical cd of acoustic version of album...plus the stickers! We'll sign the record if you want...just let us know (we'll have to break the seal).

    For those of you who did not order our last album ("Saratoga")on vinyl here's a special offer - you get both "Pack Up Your Shadows" and "Saratoga" on vinyl. This is a very limited offer as we don't have many Saratoga's left. You will also get the digital download of "Pack Up Your Shadows" as well as the bonus acoustic album and the SF stickers. This is pretty good deal I must say.

  • Ticket

    We will come to your place and play the album live - you provide the outdoor space, invite your friends. Let's celebrate. The full band will perform the entire new album plus whatever other SF tunes you want to hear. Basically you get a house concert. For those further out than a 50 mile radius of central NJ we may have to negotiate a different price to accommodate travel expenses. You can do this (and still be safe via common sense social distancing and face masks). Live music is not dead!! Of course you get a digital download of the new album plus CD or vinyl. Let us know your preference. Oh and of course you get the full acoustic album as a bonus too.

lyrics

Murder ‘Neath the Silver Moon

What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out today?
What did you do?

I met the girl with the long black veil
I met the man with the long black tail
We danced and danced around the open flame
She held my hand and he spoke my name

I met the girl in the hollow tree
She took me in and she married me
We danced and danced under the silver moon
She played the fiddle and I played the spoons

I met the girl with the clear blue eyes
Under the nettles by the river side
We danced and danced until the sun went down
She held my head under the river drowning me

What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out today?
What did you do?

I met the girl in the shallow grave
She laid me down in the bed we made
We danced and we danced and then she kissed me dear
And then she left me lying here

I met the girl with the clear blue eyes
Under the nettles by the river side
We danced and danced until the sun went down
She held my head under the river drowning me

What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out?
What did you do when you went out today?
What did you do?

about

The Successful Failures Trenton, New Jersey

"The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal." - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll ... more
