I had never heard of The Kimberly Trip before I stumbled across this song on Rock Band Network. Loved the demo and bought the full song. I looked up more info about the band and they describe themselves as, "Hard Geek Pop with edgy guitars and a sense of humor." Which is as good a description as any. And, yes, the singer's name is Kimberly.
I really like this song. It is fast, fun, catchy, and rocks pretty darn hard.
The song has some tricky HOPOs which, miraculously, I manage to hit. All except the last note in the song, a pull off green note. You will hear me make a rather strangled and unpleasant sound when I miss it. It does not ruin the FC, though. I make 3 or 4 stupid mistakes earlier in the song, particularly with some Blue-Orange-Blue strummed bits where I miss the the Orange note. I also kick in my last overdrive too soon and leave a quarter bar of OD left at the end. I hate when I do that. I still 5 star the song with plenty of room to spare, though.
This continues my project of posting RBN songs on Hard difficulty for those of us who love the game but are not Expert level players. There are usually plenty of vids available of Expert difficulty, but no vids of the charts on Hard difficulty. This will allow you to see the entire chart ahead of time and, hopefully, aid you in deciding if you want to buy the song.
Thanks for posting this. You totally tear up the guitar-work...I am super impressed impressed. ...and thanks for buying the track!!!! -Kimberlina (from the Kimberly Trip)
