Lethal Peanut Self-Titled Debut Album Release - 01/27/2012

Release Party to Benefit The Ellington Fund Charity

WASHINGTON, DC – On January 27, 2012, Lethal Peanut will celebrate their long anticipated, self-titled, debut album with a release party at Rock & Roll Hotel. Joining the party will be regional favorites Fight the Lion and Once Okay Twice; a portion of the show’s proceeds will benefit the Duke Ellington School of the Arts to support music education in the DC area. Doors open at 8pm and tickets are $10 in advance, available at www.rockandrollhoteldc.com. Lethal Peanut recorded their debut album at Cue Recording Studios in Falls Church, VA under the direction of multiple platinum-award winning record producer Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, Meredith Brooks, Cowboy Mouth). Pre-release promotional copies of select tracks are available for press review in advance, in mid-December 2011. If you would like to request a copy, please contact Kip Talley.

Lethal Peanut is Washington, DC's hottest foursome - a dynamic group whose music is best described as explosive, infectious rock & roll. They have been performing in the District since 2009, mixing their hard rock roots with folk-driven bluegrass, electric blues, and alternative riffs, punctuating their powerhouse sound with distinctive, intoxicating, and refreshingly original lyrics. Eclectic versatility in composition and performance is the hallmark of a Lethal Peanut show; the band and its mid-Atlantic following share an overwhelming, obsessive commitment to one thing – the music.

Lethal Peanut has been featured at DC's NYE Downtown Countdown, ShamrockFest 2011, National Capital BBQ Battle, Uncle Sam Jam, Warrenton Wine and Arts Festival & NOVA Summer Brewfest, among numerous other venues across the Eastern United States. They have opened for international recording artists Everclear, The Wailers, Blind Melon, Pat McGee, and The Dan Band. Lethal Peanut is Nick Fetzer (vocals), Jeff Sherman (guitar), Bruce Tsai (bass, violin), and Steve Meredith (drums).

This debut album will be released independently, with supporting tour dates and festival stops across the mid-Atlantic scheduled for Spring and Summer of 2012. Lethal Peanut has been featured in On Tap Magazine and interviewed for television’s WTTG Fox Morning News and Musically Hot in the DMV. An aggressive college radio campaign will also compliment the release.

The band will be available for live press interview on January 26 & 27. Press photos, event graphics, and demo (non-album) music samples are available immediately at www.lethalpeanut.com, or by request. Promotional album copies will be available mid-December.
