The Back C.C.’s - Stop Me

The Back C.C.’s are a garage punk group comin’ out of Brooklyn and pulling out the kind of low-fidelity, high-energy music that listeners of the Mummies and Teengenerate will really dig.  I dropped a line to these dudes, and asked them a few questions.  Check it out!

When you guys opened up for the Mummies last summer, you really tore shit up (and so did the Mummies).  Do you have any crazy performance stories?

*There was an Atlantic Records Hip Hop show. We opened up. Gibby Haynes from The Butthole Surfers comes and introduced us. There was only 2 hundred Hip Hop People. We played punk rock songs and Gibby was gone before we were done. Nice.
*After a show in Detroit. An old lady who has 2 grown sons and the other a 40 years old prostitute with meth mouth approached and offered us rubber sex. Mmm„, Detroit Rock City, Baby I’m coming back„,.

Can you tell me about any new records you might be working on?

We’re working on an album earlier next year.

Can I get an mp3 to post on the blog to show people what you guys sound like?

No Problem. “Stop Me”.

Check it.

Thanks to the Back C.C.’s for taking the time to answer my questions.  If ya got the chance, check them out, they put on a super fuzzy, super fast, super loud show, and they’re cool dudes!
