The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs Unl

- advertisement -

The long-awaited new album by Los Angeles hard rockers the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, titled Gainesville, will be released through Triple X Records on September 23rd. A semi-concept album about the band’s adventures on the road, Gainesville is a 16-song opus that features guest turns from Bellrays guitarist Tony Fate, Excessories vocalist Melanie Coffee and Air/Moog Cookbook keyboardist Brian Kehew. “This is our Exile on Main Street,” says Cheetahs frontman Frank Meyer, who also doubles as an Associate Editor here at KNAC.com and at AVN magazine. “Actually it’s more like ‘Exile on Mean Street,’ as it’s a hard rockin’, hard drivin’ album, but more diverse than our past efforts.” The band features Meyer on lead vocals and guitars, Art Jackson on guitars, Eric Herrmann on drums and John Ramirez on bass.

In addition, Bomp!/Alive Records will be re-releasing the Cheetahs 1997 debut full-length, Overdrive, with bonus tracks. Maximum Overdrive will be released this Fall complete with new artwork, new liner notes, three outtakes from the sessions, and four out-of-print songs previously issued on vinyl only (including collaborations with Runaways vocalist Cherie Currie and Radio Birdman guitarist Deniz Tek). To tide folks over, fans can hear unreleased and rare Cheetahs material at www.thestreetwalkincheetahs.com.

Meanwhile, Cheetahs vocalist/guitarist Frank Meyer has assembled a new band called Sweet Justice with Bruce Duff (ADZ, formerly of 45 Grave, Jeff Dahl) and Chris Markwood (formerly of Blare Bitch Project, Bellrays) that has signed to Real O Mind Records (www.realomind.com) to release their debut album in 2004, which they began recording last week. Sweet Justice also has a single called “Outta Sight” on the way through American Ruse Records (www.americanruserecords.com).

Meyer also recently finished his debut book, On The Road With The Ramones, to be released through the Sanctuary Records Group's publishing division, Sanctuary Publishing, on November 3rd. Co-authored with the seminal New York punk band's longtime tour manager Monte A. Melnick, the book chronicles the band's 22 year history on the road and features interviews with the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, Dead Boys, New York Dolls, Dictators, Supersuckers and many more. On The Road With The Ramones can be pre-ordered through www.Amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.
