Aspect Ratio (a.k.a. Jim Gross and Izzy Singer) is an alternative rock duo who put the whimsy, the laughter, the fun into rock and roll! Their music reflects influences that range from R.E.M. to Hank Williams, and their lyrics address everything from the aftermath of a breakup to the death of the family farm. Break out of the cubicle. Run away from the serious. Put a little Aspect Ratio into your life.

Friday Night, Hays Kansas

There's not a whole lot to do,
Except to drive the main drag or go to the dances,
and the beer is 3.2,
It's a Friday night in Hays Kansas,

Well the main drag is about a mile long,
from one end of town to the other,
And the kids all drive back and forth,
looking for a friend maybe a lover,

Honk or wave as you drive by,
If you see somebody you'd like to meet,
And when you come around again,
You pull it on over to the side of the street,

I met a Kansas girl and we went for a walk,
and she tried to look so elegant,
That's when she told me that she really liked the way that I talk,
because I “sounded so intelligent,”

It's a really friendly town,
and the girls in Hays they really aim to please,
But it's way too flat for me,
Cuz a guy like me, I really need more trees,
