On the heels of their surprise release of Cabaret Showtime, a limited-edition album of covers and live songs, the Waco Brothers announced the forthcoming release of a new full-length album Going Down in History. The album will come out on February 26th via Bloodshot Records and is the group’s first album of original material since 2005’s Freedom & Weep.
Fans can pre-order the album (available digitally, and on CD and 180-gram LP) on the Bloodshot Records website. Waco Brothers will soon be announcing national tour dates in support of Going Down in History, and currently are slated to perform their signature rowdy, post-Christmas two-night residency at Chicago’s Schubas Tavern on December 26th and 27th (https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/tours-events/215).
For the uninitiated, the Waco Brothers are a five-piece, mostly Chicago based band consisting of Dean Schlabowske and Joe Camarillo – both Dollar Store band members – and three British expats: Jon Langford (Mekons, Skull Orchard, Pine Valley Cosmonauts), Tracey Dear, and Alan Doughty (Jesus Jones). The group’s most recent releases include Waco Express: Live & Kickin’ at Schubas Tavern (2008), Great Chicago Fire (2012), and Cabaret Showtime (2015) – respectively, a live recording, a joint project with Nashville songwriter Paul Burch, and a limited-quantity b-sides and covers album. The Waco Brothers were initially forged in the mid-1990s as an outlet for rowdy live performances and to celebrate Chicago’s burgeoning country scene, and have since put out seminal, genre-defining albums, including To the Last Dead Cowboy,Cowboy in Flames, and others.
