IO: The Jack Nicholson Party, guys.

[No spoken words]

Unfortunately not. But I'm not even remotely picky as far as what songs are recorded first. Where's Johnny and a re-recording of Jack Nicholson Went To Mexico were my priorities, but I can slide one of those down if someone has a request.

My schedule is pretty wide open starting the week of the 13th, so some new stuff will be recorded then. In the meantime, I'll be posting Code Red this weekend.

I might write it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Go for it, motherfucker. Get that writing credit. As you're well aware, royalties are where the real money is.

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure Jack Nicholson would literally murder us if we sold this album.

* SPOILER *

I will have to write it next week when I'm back home and angsty cos I'm no longer on vacation. And your spoiler is accurate.

 

[LemonMelon]

No spoken words, just a staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab

A new track, a duet:

The Jack Nicholson Party - "Code Red" - YouTube

Expect the album to sound more like this. My voice sounds like shit. Ben sounds like an angel.

Where's Johnny is done, musically. It's just Ace of Spades with different lyrics and Ben replacing Lemmy.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The guitar solo is great.

 

[LemonMelon]

Many thanks, GAF. This isn't amateur hour, I gotta bring my A game for JNP.

 

[LemonMelon]

I’m needed in the west
Shelley Duvall I must smite
Tonight I will freeze to death
In the pale moonlight

Updates:

-Where's Johnny and Jack Nicholson Went to Mexico etc. have been recorded
-We'll get Ben over soon to knock out the vocals
-Started working on a couple new songs tonight, one sounds like Fell in Love with a Girl and the other is very Fugazi
-Ashley will be working on updating the website shortly
-We have received lyrics from NSW for The Nicholson Always Stabs Twice and they are excellent, but we may not be able to get Ben to call someone a "fucking kike"

 

[LemonMelon]

The Hawks got shit done so, as promised, we'll get Ben over to cover Chelsea Dagger.

 

[No spoken words]

Ben works at a......let's say, a rather stately pace.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well turn it around. Thanks to Daft Punk, we have a lot to prove.

 

[LemonMelon]

We have a wedding coming up, so the release date for the album had to be adjusted:

 

[LemonMelon]

Alright, enough fucking around. It's time for some real news.

The album is being wrapped up. There are lyrics written for every song. Ben is swinging by in a matter of days to finish his share of the album and it'll take me a week or two to wrap up the rest.

So, in honor of this exciting turn of events, I'm doing something special for fans in the Chicago metro area:

The Jack Nicholson Party will be personally handing out cassette tapes on Record Store Day. This release will be limited to ***10 copies***. Check your local Chicago record stores and you may find a copy of Your Face Is In Our Way lying on the ground or tucked away somewhere. This release will give you a shot at hearing the album a few days ahead of its release.

Because...save the date:

The album is being released on April 22nd, free of charge.

In the meantime, our brand new bandcamp page has two new hits that are paired with two classic hits:

The Jack Nicholson Party

Let's go.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Guaranteed 10.1 from Pitchfork.

[Izzy.nyc]

I like the spontaneity

 

[No spoken words]

I'm meh on this whole thing but my knife has never been more excited for an album release.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Nicholson Always Stabs Twice has a place of honor on the album, your lyrics intact.

If we can jam with Jimmy Whispers on RSD, this will be the greatest IO thread instead of just one of them.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm going to be in Chicago April 1-5. Any chance of getting an advance copy?

 

[LemonMelon]

Check your PMs.

 

[cobl04]

Check your lease.

 

[LemonMelon]

In the shadows
Hallorann gets stabbed

Gig of the decade if it happens.

 

[LemonMelon]

Should JNP message this guy?

 

[bono_212]

 

[The Sad Punk]

If there isn't a cover of One Day More on the next album I will stage six, maybe seven rebellions.

 

[BoMac]

Will this be on Spotify or some other streaming service so some of us can hear it?

 

[LemonMelon]

Because of the band name, we're not charging anything for any of our music. It'll be up on grooveshark, last.fm, soundhound, bandcamp and there will be a permanent download link available on our website.
