about

“Ambitious Pop...” “Standout band…”-Bret Milano, Boston Globe
“...elusive talent of writing catchy pop without letting terminal blandness
set in” -Carter Alan
“...skippy beat and an understated instrumental approach...captures
your attention” -Rachel Michaud, Sweet Potato

Serious Fun is releasing its first new material since the release of the
Boston Rock & Roll Anthology, Vol 4 on VAR International. Following up
on the success of Pasted on Pout and Arrest My Heart from that LP, the
band has released Cambridge Nights and Arrest My Heart as digital only singles. They are followed by this remastered digital single release, and an EP of previously unreleased mixes of seven high-energy songs will be released November 4, 2014.

Pasted on pout is the day-glo ‘80s story about seeing the girl of your
dreams, but realizing she’s just on a screen. With Doug Osborne on
guitar and vocals, Stephen Wild on bass, and Liz DiSessa on drums, Serious
Fun blazed a trail through the clubs of Boston such as The Paradise,
The Rat, and Bunrattys. Their music was played on WBCN, WFNX and
WERS, and was high on the CMJ charts. They recorded the basic tracks for these songs at Baker Street Studios in Watertown with Andy Mendelson. Doug Osborne is releasing these in time for his live solo dates in the Los Angeles area. Doug plans to tour to support the release next year of his solo album, tentatively titled Love Takes a Long Time. The Serious Fun releases will fit on modern Rock radio formats with its unique blend of high energy music, blazing guitar, and heartfelt lyrics.

lyrics

Pasted on Pout - Words and Music by Douglas Osborne

I saw you
you were the one without a smile
I saw you
you looked past me by about a mile
and I knew I wanted you

I can see your pasted on pout
and I know what it’s all about

I heard you
you sung the song I played before
I heard you
I understood from across the floor
and I knew It couldn’t do

I can see your pasted on pout
and I know what it’s all about

I loved you
when I first saw you on the screen
I loved you
transmitted by machine
and I knew I needed you

I can see your pasted on pout
and I know what it’s all about
