So I noticed last week that Cheeseburger's second album is FINALLY coming out, and soon. FIGGITY FUCK YEAH, Y'ALL!!!! That's the album cover above. From bandweblogs.com:
Cheeseburger Serves Up Sophomore Album
Another Big Night Down The Drain
Cheeseburger, the Brooklyn-based party band that has made quite the name for itself in the New York music scene with its party-popping self-title first album, announced the release of its sophomore album, Another Big Night Down the Drain.
The 11-song release from the band's new label, Williams Street Records, will drop May 3, 2011 on both CD and digital download.
Original band members Joe Bradley (vocals), Luke Crotty (Drums) and Christy Karacas (Guitar) are now joined by Jayson Green (vocals), Christian Gordy (Bass) and Eric Dufresne (Guitar) on the release, and the result is a bigger sound, but the same riff heavy garage punk vibe that fans have come to expect.
Cheeseburger's self-titled 2006 debut was released to worldwide acclaim, as critics were awestruck by their frenzied and gritty garage punk sound garnering the band's comparisons to the likes of the Stooges and the Dickies.
As the editors of Pitchfork put it, "Rather than copy some Motley Crue Cliché and wind up sounding like Jet or Louis XIV, Cheeseburger toy with rock archetypes the way a big cat teases its prey."
Another Big Night Down the Drain boasts all of the same brawn but adds even more bite. The record's bigger sound transports this group of party seekers to a whole new level musically, with a thematic album telling the tale of one poor sap's adventurous night on the town.
Tracks on the album include:
1. Party Song
2. Winner
3. Big Night
4. Tight Jeans
5. Jellybean
6. Bobby's Theme
7. Deep In The Cups
8. Gina
9. Suzy
10. Roll Like That
11. Good Time Charlie------
Ummmm, AWESOME! If you haven't heard the single, "Winner," go to their MySpace here to hear it free, or go to eMusic here to buy it, or hit up iTunes or whatever the fuck.
Some thoughts:
- This has been a sucky year for music. Hopefully this shakes shit up.
- Not going to belabor you with the cartoonish levels of my Cheeseburger fandom, but if you want to read 20 or so posts that (at least tangentially, at most solely) involve Cheeseburger, click here at your own risk.
- A bunch of these songs are older songs they've been playing for at least 4 or 5 years... I remember "Tight Jeans" and "Suzie" being played all the way back at this show.
- New version of "Jellybean" should be tight. "Bobby's Theme" was the piano-led ballad at the end of the first album.
- Speaking of "Jellybean," check out an earlier version (along with a couple other tracks) in this Tugggets post I made awhile ago.
- If you want to hear Christy talk about Superjail, Cheeseburger, and other shit, go here and click on the "CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE ON-DEMAND ARCHIVE" button. Then click thru until the part where the interview starts.
- Uhhhh, what else. I gots to get rollin' but hopefully Cheeseburger plays some area shows. MAKE IT HAPPEN, DUDES!
- Should some local shows materialize, hopefully nobody pukes on me this time.
