Pitchfork: Gravy Train!!!! Back With New Album & Tour

Gravy Train!!!! Back With New Album & Tour

With a great track record of signing A) lively, distinctive artists, and B) female-fronted bands galore, it's only fitting that Kill Rock Stars would have the bawlz to sign the delightful raunch of Gravy Train!!!!. Has it really been two years since we were last felt-up aurally by the part-novelty, part-heartfelt lo-fi grrrl-rap of Chunx, Funx, Hunx, and Junx? The wait is over because Gravy Train!!!!'s latest offering, Are You Wigglin'? will be released on July 12. Bring on the matchless classy rants about bad lays and food fetishes! Tracks:

01 Jonny Makeup
02 Darque Tan
03 Stop the Wedding
04 I Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You
05 Bloopies (Skit)
06 (Evrybody Do) The Thingy
07 Ghost Boobs
08 Hump Lites
09 Pussy Sauce
10 Nudies from the Road
11 Gotta Get Outta Batwiddicals

Listening to a Gravy Train!!!! record at home means you can be alone and safe while you slyly listen to the likes of: "I wanna get in the whole world's pants, and when my beaver's hungry preemies ain't got a chance, I turn it out in granny glasses and hotpants, and my digs are decked out for statutory romance."

Live, however, even the most camouflaged wallflower won't escape Chunx's verbal caterwauling. But of course that's the fun of it. Dates:
