Lansing,
MI – No one sent the memo to the members of Lansing’s
CHEAP GIRLS stating that the 90’s are over.
With a sound that is as much a throw back to bands such as Lemonheads,
Superchunk and Old 97’s as it is fresh, Cheap Girls are
ready to bring their rock to the U.S. and U.K this Spring. Beginning
May 11th, the trio head overseas for two-weeks on their first
foreign tour. When they arrive back in the states, Cheap Girls
have a handful of US shows confirmed, which include select Vans
Warped Tour dates (see all tour dates below).
Gainesville, FL-based Paper
+ Plastick Records (an all vinyl/digital label owned
by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello)
will ring in the summer with style by re-releasing Cheap Girls’
debut, Find Me A Drink Home, on June
23rd on 12-inch vinyl and digitally through www.paperandplastick.com
only. “Buzzing guitars, earnest vocals, and relatable lyrics
are what fuel
Cheap Girls' energetic debut effort,” raves ABSOLUTEPUNK,
adding “Cheap Girls' album… a breath of fresh
air and a welcome listen to those who loved the raw and sloppy
tendencies of 90’s indie and alternative.”
After recording most of Drink…
in a cabin in northern Michigan in under a week with Rick
Johnson (of Mustard Plug and Bomb!
The Music Industry), Cheap Girls enlisted Johnson again
to work on the new album, entitled My Roaring 20’s.
Set for release this Fall on P+P, bassist/vocalist Ian
Graham says “I’m really excited to see how
people respond to what we’ve been doing between records.”
Cheap Girls is Ian Graham
(bass/vox), brother Ben Graham (drums)
and Adam Aymor (guitar).
