LA TRASH POP TRIO THE CIGARETTE BUMS ARE COMING TO YOUR CITY! (FOR FANS OF THE BLACK LIPS & THE STOOGES)


"a Dylan-meets-Daniel Johnston meets-Replacements-meets-Beefheart smash-up that's a real pleasure to watch. The Bums play repetitious, folksy stanzas with a snot-nosed, garage-band delivery, and they throw in an occasional, speedy jazz-intoned riff for flare."

 -LA Weekly

 

Latchkey garage punks from all over CA gather for the monster they call the Cigarette Bums. Started by Steven Carrera in late 2009, the band began with various members that recorded two 7"s, a few EPs and one album entitled HOLY SMOKES. The band currently features drummer Austin Ash, guitarist/background vocalist Jaime Rosas, and is often guested by various musicians from the Los Angeles community.

 

 The band recently finished recording their follow up LP Goofs on the Loose at Big Bad Sound, a converted house studio located in the hills of Silverlake. The album includes unique tracks such as "Strange" in which the band was accompanied by 14 augmented players to create a psych jam that included instruments such as the sitar, organ, moog, African drums, as well a huge chorus. With influences ranging from The Stooges to The Black Lips the band is gearing up to showcase their brand of energized 60's garage punk and power pop to the U, S, of A on their first national tour.
