Vampire Hands 'Me & You Cherry Red Cuz Its a Beach Funeral' album

The Johnny Cash covers album. Pizza for breakfast. The Ludacris vehicle 2 Fast 2 Furious. Some things are just better the second time around. That’s why Modern Radio is revamping, remastering and re-releasing Vampire Hands’ Me and You Cherry Red just in time for SPRING BREAK!!! The Minneapolis four-piece has been lighting up venues across the Twin Cities and pretty much touring the rest of the country non-stop, sharing the stage with bands like Dungen, Tapes n' Tapes and Monotonix.

And as anyone who has attended one of those performances can attest, Me and You Cherry Red is one of the most exciting, atmospheric, and forward-thinking releases of the past couple of years— so it wasn’t long before the self-released CD sold out. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. The new and improved Modern Radio reissue isn’t just better sounding and straight up more available, it also contains the previously out-of-print EP Cuz It’s a Beach Funeral and fancy new artwork by Danimal of Gay Beast.

Vampire Hands are ramblin’ men at heart, so stay tuned for news about a spring tour with Wavves (Fat Possum). Also in the works is a limited release on Secretly Canadian imprint St. Ives. For fans of Nuggets-style fuzzed-out psych, No Wave menace and post-punk energy, this is one reissue you don’t wanna sleep on.

press quotes
“Their guitar sound is like sweet blue smoke unfurling over a roomful of longhairs on velour pillows” (Chicago Reader)

“A snarled and diffuse, but never less than beguiling, effort from a band with scads of potential.” (Skyscraper)

“Vampire Hands should be the "it" band for rock schizos everywhere.” (kevchino.com)

“the multiple drum attack and give-and-take of falsetto and gruff vocals was a winning combo” (Ear Farm)

“One of the most fascinating and innovative local bands of recent memory.” (vitamn.com)

“a fine balance of electronic and organic elements, of sprawling fuzziness and concise melodies, of expansive experimentation and straightforward songwriting.” (reveillemag.com)

“Vampire Hands' sense of boundless exploration makes Me and You Cherry Red a masterpiece” (City Pages)

“Vampire Hands has been making big waves in the Land of 10,000 Lakes while more and more groups are recycling ’60s psychedelic-rock with mixed results. Not only do Vampire Hands get it right but they turn up the heat with cutting guitar lines, dual percussionists, and vocalists that range from a sweet falsetto to a frightening scream.” (KEXP—Seattle)

“It's a befuddling, heady brew that nods to the past while winking at the future, with vintage guitar drones swelling over quirky falsetto vocals and heaps of 13th Floor Elevators-esque reverb.” (Flavorpill)

“It was an ominous sight. These dudes were drenched like they’d just been thrown fully clothed into a swimming pool.” (Razorcake)
