DRUNK MUMS MAKE THEIR LONG-AWAITED RETURN AND REVEAL VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE ‘LIVIN’ AT NIGHT’
30th January 2024Garage rock band Drunk Mums storm back onto the scene after a four-year hiatus with new single ‘Livin at Night’, giving fans a taste of their fourth studio album Beer Baby, which is due for release on March 7 via LEGLESS, Gaga Music and Bachelor Records (UK).
‘Livin’ at Night’ was recorded at Hothouse Audio (Franz Ferdinand, Jet) with Jez Giddings (Clowns, Kingswood) and mastered by Tony “Jack the Bear” Mantz at Deluxe Mastering, marking the return of the friendly neighborhood punks after four years without new music. The single continues its tradition of delivering raucous rock party anthems with an unrelenting, no B-S attitude.
Songwriter Jake Doyle describes the song’s meaning as “about living to get blotto on the weekends and not caring about your savings because you’ll never afford a house anyway.” The band matches the carefree attitude of the lyrics with thrashing guitar riffs, “It’s a fun song to let loose to and play live. 5 outta 5 vodka sunrises.” Drunk Mums are as unruly as ever and ready to unleash the chaos on their forthcoming album.
Filmed and edited by WILD ROSE PICTURES in the streets of Melbourne, this video is a hot mess. A wild ride featuring E Scooters, a pit stop at the bottle shop, a cheeky park session, New Guernica, and a ride in a stretch limo that screams, “We made it… sort of.”So, if you’re ready to witness the chaotic masterpiece that is “LIVIN AT NIGHT,” buckle up and join Drunk Mums on a journey through the absurdity of their latest party anthem. Let’s face it, we all need a bit of Drunk Mums-induced mayhem in our lives. Cheers to chaos!
Beer Baby, delivers ten relentless, no-holds-barred party anthems that leave no room for sadness, emotions, or rational thinking. It follows the release of their 2018 album Urban Cowboy, which earned them airplay across PBS, Triple R, FBi, 4ZZZ, Edge, and Radio Adelaide, as well as spins on tastemaker US radio station KEXP. The band have received praise from Beat, The Music, Life Without Andy, and Sydney Morning Herald, and their fourth studio album is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
