Shortly after, Onesko formed the Blindside Blues Band with Scott Johnson on guitar, Gregg Chaisson on bass guitar and, Racer X frontman and Badlands drummer, Jeff Martin on drums.

The band put out three records with this lineup. Although Gregg played on the records he never did any live shows with the band. That duty was filled admirably by Kier Staeheli. The last Shrapnel lineup for the Blindside Blues Band was Mike Onesko, Mike Varney, Aysnley Dunbar, James Lomenzo.

Onesko went on to Comet Records in Italy to record many records such as "Mike Onesko's Guitar Army", "Smokehouse Sessions", "Live At The Torrita Blues Festival, Italy", as well as "Voodoo Crossing" and "Gypsy Blood" (both Jimi Hendrix tributes).

The band's current drummer is Emery Ceo.

Take You Down
Blindside Blues Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that I want is a girl that bad to the bone
Long black hair, caramel skin tone
Meet her in the club, after that take her home
And give it to her all night long
Now rock your hips from left to right
Love when you move I know you bust the whine
Just know you sleeping in my bed tonight
Girl, if that's alright

Could you whine like this
Would you move like that?
Make me push it all
Cause you fling it back, back, back
You a dollar piece, hundred worlds exact
I just wanna touch
Girl because you're perfect

Don't be shy, I know you want the same thing
I want tonight, want tonight
Hold on tight, baby you know you in for a real good ride, so

Tonight I'm gonna take you down, down
Come put your arms around me
Oh girl, I'm gonna lay you down, down
And make you feel Irie
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down

Girl you bad and slim
But your back side round
Take it down to the ground and
Push it back right now, now, now
From time you walk in
Shut the whole place down
Sexiest gyal around
Should be wearing a crown, crown, crown, crown

Don't be shy, I know you want the same thing
I want tonight, want tonight
Hold on tight, baby you know you in for a real good ride, so

Tonight I'm gonna take you down, down
Come put your arms around me
Oh girl, I'm gonna lay you down, down
And make you feel Irie
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down

You know what this is and what I came to do
Take you with me back to my room
Make you hot, girl you know
Get you up out your clothes
It's not enough time in a day
For me to give you what you need
I hope you hear what I wanna say cause

Tonight I'm gonna take you down, down
Come put your arms around me
Oh girl, I'm gonna lay you down, down
And make you feel Irie
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Touch your face, feel your love
Love you whole, all your kids
Kiss you, girl, no pressure
Tonight I'm gonna take you down

Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Tonight I'm gonna take you down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Take You Down" by the Blindside Blues Band depict the singer's desire for a woman that is "bad to the bone." He describes her as having long black hair and caramel skin tone, and meeting her at a club where he plans to take her home and "give it to her all night long." He encourages her to dance and move her hips while he watches, and tells her that they will be sleeping together that night. The chorus repeats the line "Tonight I'm gonna take you down" while he describes how he wants to touch her face and love her whole.

The song's lyrics are straightforward and explicit, fully embracing the idea of a one-night stand. The singer's desire for a woman that is confident and knows what she wants is clear, but there is an underlying tone of objectification and commoditization of women. The focus is on physical attraction and the idea of a steamy, sexual encounter rather than an emotional connection.
