    Very sophisticated percussion in stop tempo. Reminds me of Sparks.

    Nice to hear a drummer with some restrained good taste. His work puts an already good song into the stratosphere --- well done.

      has nothing to do with restraint on the drummers part ...just makes sense to play the beat straight forward.....in another words :the song was required of the drummer to have a strict beat ...a bunch of fills would have 100% ruined this song..

      And calling it work is rather pretentious referring to a garage style rock n roll drummer. He's beating off for fun brah, come on, let yerr hair down.

    OMG-this is an awesome grarage punk song. New to me, but I love the change in pacing, the farfisa organ, and the groove. Hello awesomeness!

      I think a Farfisa was one of several types of organs used in bands that, well, had organs. Hammond was also popular and Rhodes pianos are all readily identifiable. Farfisa organs were featured, I think, in Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs “Wooly Bully” and later, the B52s “Rock Lobster.” It definitely has a unique sound.

      Sounds more like a Vox Continental to me, I can hear the upper harmonic tones such as 2-2/3, 2, 1-1/3, and 1 drawbar registers (aka the IV drawbar in a Vox Continental), in addition to other controls being used (16’, 8’, 4’, or any combination and degree thereof) …adds that extra trebly squeeky-ness to its sound (when it is engaged). 😉 😎

    another good NTSU band from the mid 60's.... The Briks,The Jackals,The Chessmen and The Beefeaters were outstanding...and just plain talented guys.....I roomed with some of them at the Stella Street Apartments in Denton,Texas and have some fotos of a few 'parties'.....Don Henley and Richard Bowden are in some of the pics....fun times!

      Do you happen to have any of those old photos of Richard Borgens? I worked with him as a scientist and still keep in touch with him but those pictures would be really great to see.

      You didn't happen to cross paths in those apartments with a guy named Troll Mallow, did you? I was visiting with him some years back and he showed me those apartments and pointed out Don's room and mentioned those parties and the music.

    Lyrics:
    (Verse 1)
    Keep working, baby, it's* not late
    Don't look for the things you hate
    Pull up the shades, step into the light
    The world goes bright
    (Verse 2)
    You can't hear things that haven't been said
    Drink a milk, a malt, and a bread
    These things will make you see,
    If you haven't by now (Yes, they will)
    (Chorus)
    A-Tap, tap, tap your feet
    Run back, and wait* for me*** [??]
    Keep down
    (Break)
    (Verse 3)
    Keep down, stay out of the sight
    It's not cool to paint things white????
    Keep Down, you'll make the scene,
    If you haven't by now. (Yeah, yeah!)
    (Chorus)
    Tap, tap Tap your feet.
    [Work back, [you're good] for me (?)]
    Keep down (Alright/Oh Yeah)

    The lyrics to The Briks song Keep Down are hard for me to understand. I am not sure about the words, especially not the ones that I put in brackets. I think they might be this: "Keep working, baby, it's not late. Don't look for the things you hate. Pull up the shades, look into the light. [The world goes bright.(?)] You can't get things that haven't been said. Drink a milk, [a malt, (?)] and a bread. These things will make you see, if you haven't by now. Yes, they will. Tap, tap, tap your feet. [Work back, and pray it won't Keep you down.(?) ] Keep down, stay out of sight. It's not cool to [pay things twice.(?)] Keep Down, you make the scene, if you haven't by now. Yeah, yeah! Tap, tap Tap your feet. [Work back, you're good for me.(?)] Keep down.

    Guitar player may have been a folkie before he went electric. The vamping guitar accompaniment actually sounds a little like "Windy And Warm," a guitar instrumental that was a standard in coffee houses..
