PRESENTS:
THE HiGH OCTANE SWiNG OF DANCE HALL PiMPS AND THEiR NEW CD BEAST OF LOVE  MARCH 6,
2012 - The
debut album from the DANCE HALL PIMPS features
twelve tracks (10 originals and 2 covers), showcasing the band’s fresh
take on genres ranging from swampy garage rock to New Orleans-style
rags and romp. Combining dark and twisted subject matter and wistful
lyrics with upbeat tempos and mind blowing vocals, the album can hardly
fit neatly into any genre. Innovative lyrics and catchy hooks are what
have created memorable tracks with great stories. The singles off the
album “MOMMY WAS A ZOMBIE” and “BEAST OF LOVE” offer up infectious
hooks with foot tapping beats.“MOMMY WAS A ZOMBIE,” despite its novelty
song title, tells the story of being raised by a drug addicted mother
and without a father; without knowing the lyrics, its buoyant and
cheerful roots rock beat masks the tragedy at the heart of the
song. “BEAST OF LOVE” references classic horror movies to make
a simple point: even monsters are just looking for love. Sometimes we
become beasts as love takes the best of us. Sometimes we’re looking for
a beast to love. The quest for love is told
through captivating lyrics with subtle cinematic references and retro
rhythms.Vocal tracks on the DANCE HALL PIMPS
debut album BEAST OF LOVE were recorded at NIGHTBIRD
STUDIOS at the famous Sunset Marquis Hotel and were produced
by ROB HILL (KORN, XZIBIT) and GRAMMY Winner MATT HYDE (Cypress Hill,
Porno for Pyros). Each member
of the Dance Hall Pimps wrote, co-wrote or
arranged at least one song on BEAST OF LOVE.
A portion of the profits of Beast for Love will
be donated to organizations that fight the sex trafficking of children
in the United States and provide services to victims. “Pimp Music Not
People,” DANCE HALL PIMPS are sex-positive among
consenting adults, but oppose all human trafficking and sex slavery.RELATED LiNKS: WWW.DANCEHALLPiMPS.COM ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN

looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming

FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
