This is about as close to autobiographical as I get.
I have a sample pack called "Abstract Beats" by Code Sounds. They are 4 bar drum/percussion/noise bits that I'm using as a basis for all my tracks. A preview of the pack is available here:

Loop: Abstract Beats 29
Guitars: Guild D-25

Note: Skirmish: 1 hour to write and record
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it!
And The Band Played
Folks came shufflin' in
Ladies showin' lots of skin
And the band played
Beginnings and ends
At a table filled with friends
And the band played
Ch.
And the band played on and on
Song after song
People come and gone
While they kept tryin'
Runnin' on remote
Singin' lots of notes
Stickin' in their throats 'cause they were cryin'
Lady at the bar
I wonder who you are
And the band played
You were aimin' to deceive
But you made me believe
While the band played
[Ch]
Comin' time to close
End of the show
That was the last bow that the band played
Not another drink to pour
Headin' out the door
Hopin' for one more if the band played
[Ch]

The beats and guitar were terrifically together. To me, this has an intense, somewhat dark, and perhaps slightly sinister vibe to it, conveying the mental image of a smoky, decrepit bar filled with questionable characters, the grizzled band trying hard to make an impact, or maybe to just get through the nite. Excellent grit! :)

These are very cool lyrics. I love the last line of the chorus. The percussion in the back is so cool, and I can't figure out what it is! Your vocals really fit to this too. Jammin' guitar.

Been there. Done that. Pretty much all of it! More crying at the bar than crying on stage though. Also behind the bar! Really good skirmish song.

The guitar and the abstract beats are a really cool combination ! Reminds a lot of nights in some locals clubs!

This was fun. Really enjoyed it. Who here hasn't had the experience of this band?
