Joe Queer to Produce Numbers On Napkins Upcoming Album



First Underground News

January 2007

​Written By: Megan Lee




Phoenix punkers Numbers On Napkins have announced the title of their upcoming CD that has been in the works for over a year. The album will be titled, "Borrachos, Chingasos Y Rucas" - Translated into English as: Drunks, Fist Fights, and Girlfriends.

The CD is nearly ready for the mix down and editing process, and is being recorded at Arcane Digital Recording in Chandler, Arizona by Ryan Butler (The guitarist for both North Side Kings and Landmine Marathon). In addition to recording the album, Butler contributes guitar tracks for a jazz song, sang completely in Russian titled, "Yaushoi Sroiboty I Mne Navse Plevati".

Numbers On Napkins enters the studio once again in February to finish the recording, pending the approval of their producer, Joe Queer (Legendary frontman of The Queers). Joe Queer will then take a listen to the final mix down in March, and the CD should be sent out for mastering in April and pressed by the end of 2007.

"I think this album will be the most diverse and talented thing we've ever done", said Tad Gurthman, drummer for Numbers On Napkins. "In the past we have stayed true to our punk rock roots. It's what we grew up on and what we love. But on this album we just wanted to try something new and different. We are working with some great people from hardcore bands and grindcore bands, but the overall feel of the album is something that I am very proud of. We chose a great producer for the album, and I'm honestly surprised that Joe decided to work with us on this. It's not his style, but I think that he is excited about the project as well. It really gives all of us the chance to explore music in general and we are really hoping fans aren't turned off by this. In the end, we are still very true to our punk roots, and will continue to play punk and pop punk. I look at this album as an album for us, not our fans. We just hope that our fans respect that we wanted to try something different with this CD".

Numbers On Napkins insists that their next CD will not be as experimental and that they will return to their "roots" with the follow up release. Look for them touring the U.S. to promote the album in 2008.
