In 2007 we won the "Union Blues Cup" at the Notodden Blues Festival, and the following year we released our debut album "Hotter Than Georgia Asphalt" with special appearances by Norwegian guitar virtuoso Vidar Busk. The same year we also did several concerts with Vidar at Moldejazz, a festival that has since greeted us with open arms and sold-out crowds in both 2009 and 2010.
These days we're releasing our brand new EP "My Arrival" , with excerpts being listenable on this very page. We sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wow, wow, wow, wow, yeah
Arthur J. did, indicate that
The boulevard will never be
So full of life and love again hey
(Aw, say goodbye to your boots, man)
Hot as Hades, early eighties
Make me feel like I'm in love again, hey
(You gotta lose to win)
Oh yeah
Oh
Please don't strip my mind
Leave something behind
Please don't strip my mind
Oh, hey yeah, oh
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow yeah
All in favor sign the waiver

Operator, co-creator
Come on baby Ellie
Won't you blow another compensator, hey

Oh yeah

The lyrics of Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Strip My Mind" is open to interpretation, but it appears to be a nostalgic reflection on the band's past experiences and the way in which they have shaped them. The opening lines mention Arthur J., who is assumed to be Arthur Janov, a psychotherapist who developed primal therapy, a type of psychotherapy aimed at addressing emotional pain through reliving repressed experiences. This could suggest that the song is about the band's own reflections on their past experiences and how they have contributed to who they are today.
The lyrics then reference the "hot as hades, early eighties" and "sing another song, make me feel like I'm in love again." This could be a reference to the formative years of the band when they were just starting out and the passion and energy they felt. The chorus, "please don't strip my mind, leave something behind" could be interpreted as a plea to not forget these past experiences that have helped shape them into who they are today.
The second verse mentions "operator, co-creator, come on baby Ellie, won't you blow another compensator." These lines are less clear in meaning, but could possibly be referencing the creative process of the band, with the operator and co-creator working together to create something new. The reference to "blow another compensator" is more ambiguous, but could be a reference to drug use, a common theme in many of the band's songs.
Overall, "Strip My Mind" is a contemplative and reflective song that appears to be about the band's past experiences and how they have shaped them.
