Gravy Train!!!! - Are You Wigglin? (CD) |

Gravy Train!!!! have been around since 2001, but it wasnt till recently that they learned about W-I-G-G-L-I-N. Are You Wigglin? is the follow up to 2003s cult classic Hello Doctor, a record entirely about food and sex. For this album, they ditched their former chipmunk rap sound and moved on to a sound that is a mix of bubblegum, punk, rock n roll, comedy, new wave and pure pop. Not only have they added guitar, theyve also added bass, maracas, Vibraslap and even live drums on some tracks. Theyve traded in keyboards for Leslie, Hammond and Gibson organs and ditched tinny drum tracks for drum beats so trashy they make the Night at the Roxbury soundtrack look like Beethoven. Their influences include B-52s, Quintron & Miss Pussycat,Toni Basil, Blowfly and Gary Glitter.Controversial topics on this album include the death of a man obsessed with sunless tanning (Darque Tan), going on a diet and losing your boobs (Ghost Boobs), doing it with someone half your age (Hump Lites), and sending your loved one naked pictures of yourself while on tour (Nudies From the Road) . Thrill to the use of the word beaver in over half the songs! They also cover I Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You by legendary bay area punk group Psycotic Pineapple and turn it into a dance floor hit!
