Chicago’s The Last Vegas will embark on a handful of headlining dates this spring in support of their sixth studio album titled Eat Me, that was released exclusively through AFM Records Germany on March 18th. In addition the band announced dates in Germany for this November with The Quireboys.

Eat Me is a mash-up of full-tilt boogie rock, droney Zeppelin-esque riffs, and alt-psychedelic acoustic ballads. Equal part American bluesy riffs and Swedish production technique, the album balances grit and polish.

“This is truly an American hybrid album,” quotes guitarist Adam Arling. “Some may call it ‘rock’, however it’s more 'pop trash’. There’s even a song entitled 'Hot Fudge' with a nasty Moog riff just waiting to rule a dance floor. It’s ridiculous.” He adds, “I was over in Sweden on a reality TV show for two months, when the guys decided to do another album. We had less than three weeks to write songs, rehearse, then schedule recording before Chad split.We wanted to capture the energy of a tight deadline and approach the material without looking back or over-thinking anything.”

Eat Me is the first time The Last Vegas have collaborated with a European production team (Sweden’s Grammy-nominated Classe Persson is mastering). Being long-time fans of Scandinavian rock production and influenced by records from The Hellacopters, Turbnonegro, Nomads and more, The Last Vegas were thrilled with a new approach in making a modern-day album; and the results of the inter-continental experiment.

“There’s a lot of feeling in this record. It’s fascinating what you can express musically when you record songs quickly, never second-guessing your gut instinct. We found the soul in rock’n’roll; from both Chicago and Stockholm,” says Adam Arling. “But let’s not get too serious, I mean the album is called Eat Me after all. Catch you on tour in 2016."
