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
To support the album release, Cheeseburger will bring the party to Austin and perform four live shows at this year's South by Southwest festival from Tuesday, March 15 through Friday, March 18.
Fans can catch them on Tuesday at the Panache Pre-SXSW party at the Scoot Inn, Wednesday at the AnSo Day Party at Spider House, Thursday at the Vice Showcase at Club De Ville or Friday at Lyndon James Stockbauer’s Day of the Degenerates party at The Longbranch Inn.
If you're attending South by Southwest, be sure to take Brooklyn Vegan's advice: "If you've never experienced the mayhem that is one of their shows, now is the time."
Additionally, music from Another Big Night Down the Drain will be featured throughout the upcoming season of Adult Swim's Superjail!, the animated comedy co-created by the band's guitarist Christy Karacas and Stephen Warbrick (Beavis and Butthead, Daria). The second season of the series following the chaotic characters and antics from the world's most violent prison will debut on Adult Swim this spring.
