The songs of Femme Fatality are dark in melody and focused on themes of misdeeds and wrongdoing. Femme Fatality's instrumentation is based heavily around the tonality of analog synthesizers. Mongeau and Palermo hand craft their own unique synth patches, never resorting to factory presets. Distorted guitars and acoustic drums are used for texturing (although sparingly).
Femme Fatality is authority when it comes to creating spectacle in underground rock venues. Their relentless stage presence, tailored light show and 5 piece live band raise the pulse of their shadowy melodies. The current live line-up consists of Brady Leffler (synth), Jeff Meyer (guitar), Shane Mongeau (synth/vocals), Bradley M Palermo (vocals/synth), and Andrew Roberts (drums).
New Phase
Femme Fatality Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few already tried to stand in the way.
All they had were broken chords and nothing to say.
I said now..
Come on have you not heard, this is the new phase
All the boys and the girls are going crazy
Throw another hand in the air if you're with me
Girls want to be with me
Don't be upset. we brought the hammer down. we took st. louis to the ground now we're moving all around so shake your body on down to the floor and if i hear you begging then i'll give you some more.
New phase up in your space
New phase all over your face
The beat goes down when you set your drink down
Next thing you know everybody in town is
All up and over on you
And you know just what to do
Cause you haven't been listening to some indie kid
Wishing that he hadn't just spent life in his room.
You dance and look so good.
Just like a said you would.
You know, black chucks a must von dutch of bust, that shirt that you're wearing are you serious? NO
A dance party is going on, dont stop till the last song, ask me now, i'll see you later, monanani why you messing with that fader?
