An afrobeat tune in 9/4! Can you count it? Big beats, big groove. The tune is groove oriented and hard hitting until the rhythm and sectional play breaks down at the end into one big swirl of sound. The song derives its name from instructions by a former band member of how to relocate to Miami for one summer to play music. One of the instructions read, 'Set up on beach to get gigs/money.'
