PREMIERE | Makes My Blood Dance Unleashes ‘Beaming Right Up’
Brooklyn-based Makes My Blood Dance premieres the music video for “Beaming Right Up” on Medium.
Lead vocalist Evan Russell Saffer explains the song, “The lyrics and vibe of this tune are making a statement about taking strides, about rising above and beyond the fear — the constant, daily, moment to moment uncertainty of life. The verses dive into those ideas sometimes poetically, sometimes specifically. “Blood on the buttons, always gonna be somethin’” and “keep your foot on the gas, we’ve upgraded from last, and the money’s been applied to your bank as a recurring bonus” — wouldn’t that be nice. It’s a spiritual song with an everyday keep on rockin’ approach that’s says “life’s alright, when you got it going.” So how do you get it going? Keep listening. Music heals, we change molecules, that’s the message and the momentum of Makes My Blood Dance.”
Made up songwriters Evan Russell Saffer (lead vocals), John Polimeni (guitars, synthesizer), Alexander Nikitin (bass), and Carlos “CK1” Guidera (drums), Makes My Blood Dance’s music blends elements of disco, glam, electro-pop, and metal into a sui generis sound projecting full spectrum subtleties structured on beau coup flair, sudden eddies of frisson, and no holds barred gusto.
