Do you know what your record
collection sounds like? Do you really? See, that's
the thing: Gold
Cash Gold know...
They know that people's record collections as
a rule don't adhere to one particular sound, and
that, dear reader, is why we love 'em! Admit it,
you have some so-called skeletons in
your closet—we all do. The thing about Gold
Cash Gold is that
they are not, nor have they ever been afraid of
admitting theirs (we mean 'admitting'
in every sense of the word—apologetic, all-embracing,
what have you).
Gold Cash Gold
are troublemakers. In a traditionally very cynical
music-town, they were turning heads with the intensity
of their demos and live performances within a
few weeks of being a band. The Detroit Metro
Times said: "...the band...has already
penned a future rock radio staple in Diamond Mind.
Live, the cocksure chemistry between (singer)
Hoegemeyer
and (guitarist) Zuccaro...resembles
Rocks —era Tyler and Perry."
That's not to say they wear their many influences
on their sleeves. Rather, they incorporate them
all seamlessly—from Prince (before he became
a symbol) to Zep, it all makes sense. One of Detroit's
many "I-used-to-be-in-a-big-band"
has-beens described them as "... fierce,
elevated, and well-ventilated."
Gold Cash Gold's
debut on Times Beach Records, Paradise Pawned,
Vol.1 is something of a throwback, being
more of an album than listeners have become accustomed
to hearing in the last few years. Hoegemeyer
and Zuccaro
produced the record at Detroit's famed Rustbelt
Studios in what has internally become an infamous
two-week session. "They never ate, slept,
or left the studio for that matter," claims
a Rustbelt employee, "so we just locked them
in at night and let them go at it." This
almost obsessive quest for perfection resulted
in a recording of pronounced organic purity; it
brings to mind some of the classic rock albums
of the past ('IV,' anyone?). Paradise Pawned,
Vol.1 is—comment dit on?—classic.
Gold Cash Gold
play untainted rock'n'roll in the traditional
sense of the word. They have the makings of a
legendary rock band: songs, sonics, sex, swagger
and showmanship. They truly and gleefully embrace
and incorporate everything that made Detroit music
famous: soulful and funky, tenacious and bombastic.
