Tejon Street Corner Thieves - Never Meant To Be (Music Video)

Colorado Springs outlaw blues and trash-grass pioneers Tejon Street Corner Thieves have announced the details for their upcoming acoustic album "Monarch Sessions". The 6-track EP is set for an October 16th release through Liars Club, the label founded by Banjo-attacking murderfolk troubadour Amigo the Devil and indie powerhouse Regime Music Group.

The "Monarch Sessions" presents an astonishing metamorphosis as the songs that were once rooted in darkness transform into their acoustic essence to highlight the emotional depth and find the light. The "Monarch Sessions" sees the band stripped down to solely Connor O’Neal strumming on banjo and Shawn D’Amario playing acoustic guitar.

Tejon Street Corner Thieves have been turning heads with a completely unique take on traditional folk and bluegrass music. The group made headlines with their viral music video for "Never Meant To Be", which showed the band playfully doing a parody impersonation of key artists in the dark folk and alt-country scenes. The video spawned countless reaction videos from parodied featured in the video including Dead South, Shawn James, Days N' Daze, Orville Peck, Bridge City Sinners, Harley Poe, and the group's new label founder Amigo The Devil.

When forced to cancel their touring plans when the COVID-19 global pandemic hit, Tejon Street Corner Thieves responded by doing drive-by performances to fans' houses. The band used their tour bus and a P.A system to drive through fan's neighborhoods and perform from inside the vehicle, while fans take in the concert on their front porch maintaining safe social distances. The performances drew the attention of Fox News, ABC News, NBC 5 in Colorado, and MetalInjection, who covered the band and the group's unique approach to playing shows during the outbreak. Since then, other bands across America have adopted a similar strategy for performing drive-by concerts in other states and credited Tejon Street Corner Thieves for their original idea.

I absolutely almost pissed myself when "amigo the danny" showed up. I expect nothing less from these guys 10/10 hands down

[tejonstreetcornerthieves]

I think we really nailed Days n Daze. Who were your favorite?

[travisrichardson]

The freight train rabbit killer parity is probably my favorite. If all these bands played one big show it would probably be the best show ever. Maybe add The Hooten Hallers and Calamity Cubes. It’s close to mid life crises time for me so I could use that skateboard since I can’t afford a Corvette.

In watching this video I have been made aware that all the music I listen to daily is also a fan of all the other music I listen to. Whilst this should have been obvious - I can assure you it was not to me.

I now exclusively listen to one giant collective sound😆

[johnbarrie]

Between you guys and the "cameos" in this video, you've got like 90% of what's going to be my end of the year Spotify list.

[jsnmdn]

I'm honestly kinda impressed with myself that i recognized every band referenced.
It was a fun game to name each one from the pun they made.

[brooketheslayer]

Lol, "Libby" really got me with the nails! This was gold, guys! 😂

[jeanmahony]

Love that this was filmed in Victor! Very clever. We watched you from our porch! Even got a wave back from ya!

[devinsmith]

How the hex this not got over a million views yet?!?!🤨
Lets fix that if anyone has time.

[Lennonsda]

Amigo the Devil, Orville Peck, Bridge City Sinners, and Rev. Peyton and Breezy!!!! All my favorite!! Oh, and you guys too (I guess..😛😁)

LYRICS:
She was born from the ashes of the broken
she was forged by the fires in the sea
she was cut from the dam as it raindown
from colliding from skies and the breeze.

She was the daughter of the savior
the one who forsaken me (pa, pa, pa)
she was everything I lust for
but her and I were never meant to be.
Ohohohohohohohohohohohohoh

With a warning out her way with the words at
when she spoke, she never made a sound
cause her voice of thunder shook the mountains
would bring this whole damn world to the ground.

She was the daughter of the savior
the one who forsaken me (pa, pa, pa)
she was everything I lust for
but her and I were never meant to be.
Ohohohohohohohohohohohohoh

Well death couldn´t find a way to hold her
and love couldn´t bear to keep her round
heaven and hell both decided
they had to find a way to bring her down.

She was the daughter of the savior
the one who forsaken me (pa, pa, pa)
she was everything I lust for
but her and I were never meant to be.
Ohohohohohohohohohohohohoh

She was the daughter of the savior
the one who forsaken me (pa, pa, pa)
she was everything I lust for
but her and I her and I
were never meant to be never meant to be
OhohohohohohohohohohohohohOh

She was born from the ashes of the broken
she was forged by the fires in the sea
she was cut from the dam as in raindown
from colliding from skies and the breeze
