Cheap Girls announce new album details and post 2 new songs

Michigan's Cheap Girls have announced a tentative Oct. 6 release for their second full length "My Roaring 20's." The album features 10 songs coming in at less than 30 minutes on Paper + Plastick Records. The band posted a two new songs "Hey Hey, I'm Worn Out" and "Ft. Lauderdale" on their myspace. The band tour the west coast next month, then play the Fest in Gainseville, FL over Halloween weekend.

Here's a statement from the band on the release:

We began recording the record with Rick Johnson (as always) at the end of February, 2009 just before we left for a tour. We were able to record all of the drums and bass in a few days and then we had to leave for 3 and a half weeks before we could do any more. Once we were home, we finished it in Ben's basement, Rick's apartment and Rick's new studio. A couple weeks later, we re-finished the record at Rick's studio. After that, he mixed it about 6 times. Some could say we were a bit "prissy" on this one. Either way, we're incredibly happy with how this record turned out and I think all 4 of us involved really kind of surprised ourselves. That's a good thing, right? Right! Thanks, Rick. You're a great sport and we can't wait to make another one.

After all of that was wrapped up, Jeff Rosenstock did the artwork (he did our first LP as well). We mailed him a shit ton of pictures we found in my parents basement, including my parents' pre-children German Sheppard named Biff posed in funny situations and my father dressed as Gene Simmons for Halloween '77. He did a great job. You'll see.
