Cheap Girls have announced that they will be releasing an acoustic version of their sophomore album, 2009's My Roaring 20's, digitally via Quote Unquote Records. As with all Quote Unquote releases, the album will be free, with an optional donation. Any donations for the album will go toward paying for Cheap Girls singer/bassist Ian Graham's upcoming knee surgery.

Regarding the recording, Graham writes:

We recorded this a couple years back and have been trying to figure out a decent time to get it out. It is exactly what it seems like - an acoustic version of our second record. Not simply a boring guitar/vocal record, but with plenty of additional fun things that we thought were a good idea throughout recording. I'm listening to it right now and I've gotta say that it certainly retains a fair amount of "charm."

The record will be released on January 14, 2013. You can read the full post about it here.

What if I told you you could have a job and still not be able to afford knee surgery?

God, seriously. Many employers are grandfathering out of Obamacare and shit isn't even moderately better.

Every time I hear this band I just assume that they dug up lance Hahn and re-buried him in some cursed ground then forced zombie lance to front a 90s power pop band.

Ian's one of the sweetest people I know.

angryderek (January 14, 2013)

wow, you know an asshole from a shitty band, good for you....dick

Babrook (January 15, 2013)

i'm close to too many people that claim to be fucked over by this dude to donate money in good faith regardless of how good i think this band is.

one, maybe two, people saying something is one thing, but when I can no longer count them on one thing it's something else.

paulsilence (January 14, 2013)

Boy, they really ARE cheap!

angryderek (January 14, 2013)

no one will buy this. good luck paying for that knee surgery, asshole
