Low Cut Connie Announces New LP ‘Dirty Pictures (Part 1)’ Due 5/19 – ‘Dirty Pictures (Part 2)’ Due 2018

Low Cut Connie is back with a new album aptly titled Dirty Pictures (part 1). The Philadelphia band moves beyond its characteristic drunken bar boogie and dives into deeper, darker, grittier American life. Its fourth LP will be available worldwide on May 19 (Contender Records).

The Connie boys conceived Dirty Pictures (part 1) inside Memphis’ legendary Ardent Studios (Big Star, ZZ Top). The first single “Revolution Rock n Roll” is a sludgy, soulful wake-up call and debuted with a loveably seedy video shot at the band’s recent sold-out Philadelphia show. Shot by DC street photographer Chris Suspect, the flashes of black and white, pie-eyed images capture the band’s explosive night of unconditional love and after-party debauchery.

The video stars members of the Low Cut Connie family —salty lunatics of every persuasion.

From the Stones-y swagger of “Dirty Water”, to the politically charged garage punk of “Death and Destruction”, the record runs deep; equal parts raunchy and tender. “Forever” laments the recent passing of musical icons, and the LP even features Low Cut Connie’s blistering take on Prince’s “Controversy.” Dirty Pictures (part 1) follows Get Out The Lotion (2011), Hi Honey (2015) and Call Me Sylvia (2012), which featured “Boozophilia”, a highlight on former President Barack Obama’s Summer 2015 Spotify Playlist.

Eccentric, wild-eyed, piano-pounding front man Adam Weiner is at the helm, bravely leading the five-piece and its beloved 400 lb. piano Shondra from concert halls and festivals, to frat houses and dive bars, and earning the band an obsessive nationwide cult following. The New York Times calls its raucous live show a “phenomenon.”

Low Cut Connie is kicking off a year’s worth of tour dates at Austin’s SXSW 2017. A full run of confirmed shows is below with more opportunities for wild and dirty times to be announced soon. Dirty Pictures (part 2) is slated to be released in 2018.
