Featuring los hermanos Pacheco and one of several lively session bassists and recently added saxophonist, these romp ‘n’ rollers have managed not only to marry two unlikely genres -- world’s apart -- in perfect pastiche harmony but also are planning to spread this East L.A. sound all throughout the USA this summer. Altogether, Thee Commons have played well over a hundred shows, gaining in the process hundreds more in fans -- those eager for something new to call their own. They have performed at several of Southern California’s prestigious venues, including The Echoplex of Echo Park, The Teragram Ballroom – both of which they’ve headlined -- The Regent Theatre of Downtown Los Angeles, and the Observatory of Santa Ana; have been hosted for a residency by pocho wine bar Eastside Luv of Boyle Heights -- which consisted of a weekly burlesque-dancer-entangled-affair dubbed the “Cumbia Psicodelica Cabaret”; and have opened up for such acts as Chicano Batman, Bomba Estereo, Bombino and even unofficially -- by way of an impromptu guerilla-style street show -- for The Pixies.

Work It Out
Thee Commons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you're feeling murdered
But it's juts your work
You say you're feeling older
But you're still a jerk

So work it out
Oh work it out

You say you're feeling dirty
But you want some more
You're feeling like a goddess
When you're out the door

Oh work it out
Oh work it out

But it's juts your work
You realize that your current state of being is due to your job, nothing more

You say you're feeling older
You believe that you're getting older and losing touch with youthfulness

But you're still a jerk
But in reality, it's just your personality that makes you come off as immature and unlikable
