About the Artist
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.
