Leave a comment on this blog post and you’re entered to win two tickets to see Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band on Friday at The Orange Peel. The show is a CD release party for one of Asheville’s favorite party bands. You’ll also win a signed copy of the band’s bumpin’ new CD.

Hype-mag.com recently posted a nice Q&A with the Booty Band. The new record was recorded at Echo Mountain Studio, btw. A snippett:

This is probably the first record where the current lineup of the band is really showcased, which is Mary Frances on keyboards, JP Miller on guitar, Al Al Ingram on Bass, Derrick Johnson on Trombone and myself on drums . Our former member, Greg hollowell, is on this record as well on saxophone, he’s currently not in the group anymore. He had some health problems and that took him off the road. Anyway, now we’re a five-piece, on the record thats about to hit, it will showcase the six-piece. As far as writing the record, there weren’t really any rules or any kind of form that we follow. It could be a situation where somebodies jamming a riff at soundcheck and that develops into a groove and then that develops into a song which we all contribute to. One person will kind of bring their idea for the form, the grooves and the lyrics to the table, but theres not really a form that we follow. We basically just want to make your booty move and make it fun to listen to for years to come.
