Las Vegas, NV’s Big B’s forthcoming album, Fool’s Gold, will be released under Suburban Noize Records on July 9th, featuring a slew of guest appearances that include Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, NOFX, Pennywise, Pink among many more…
Working with Big B on Fool’s Gold was producer Jim Perkins, who has sat behind the boards on the Las Vegas singer/songwriter’s last three albums. Together the duo’s musical chemistry has produced some of Big B’s best material.
The first single off Fools Gold is the song “Here Comes The Lighting” that was co-written by Pink & Butch Walker. Did you ever think you’d see Pink next to some of these names in the punk and reggae community?
Here’s what Big B had to say about acquiring Pink, as well as the reggae and punk living legends: “When it came time to put together this record I just had a ton of good friends that asked to make music with me. Pink is a good friend of mine and we always wanted to do something together, but the timing never worked out because of her insane schedule. For this album everything just worked out,” said Big B. “Pink had the time to work on a track together with Butch Walker. Byron from Pennywise and El Hefe from NOFX both swung by the studio to help out. I just had all these people I’m friends with that came down to the studio to collaborate with me on some music.”
Fans can catch Big B on tour this summer with The Dirty Heads and The Expendables on the Cabin By The Sea Tour throughout June and July.
