Eclectic New Jersey Techno-Funksters Convert Rousing Single “Party In Your Bedroom” Into Signature Breakout Hit
The breakthrough, boisterous techno-pop of Universal Republic newcomers Cash Cash will be bounding into stores bright and early in 2009, with their Universal Republic debut album, Take It To The Floor, to be made available to fans nationwide on January 20. The charismatic band is currently riding the wave of their insatiable hit “Party In Your Bedroom,” which has exploded on radio and via youtube, thanks to the turbo-charged chemistry supplied by brothers Jean Paul Makhlouf (vocals, guitar) and Alex Makhlouf (keyboards, programming), and the band’s riveting rhythm section: Sam Frisch (bass, vocals) and Anthony Villacari (drums, percussion).
Hailing from Roseland, New Jersey, Cash Cash has seeded their close-knit camaraderie with an interchangeable musical DNA that reaches all the way back to Jean Paul’s and Sam’s third grade roots. Known for fusing 70s pumped-up funk vapors into infectious 80s-styled pop, the group’s harmony-anchored hooks sealed their appeal, with the band inking a deal with Universal Republic Records in early 2008.
Ratcheting up gleeful gems such as “Breakout,” and “Two Days Old,” Cash Cash relies on a relentless connectivity that powers both their live shows and sizzling studio efforts that has seen them win over online fans and club-goers across the U.S. Currently wrapping up a tour with dance-pop hypsters Metro Station and Tyga, the group will be be heading back to their native New Jersey on December 20 to perform in South Hackensack, NJ. Scheduled to continue their live trek, the band will launch the release of their debut heading out on tour with the Millionaires. The tour kicks off on January 21st in Bakersfield, CA and runs through February 19th wrapping up in San Diego, CA.
It was their constant barnstorming of NJ and NYC clubs, like Pete Wentz’ AK-47 New York City nightspot, that led to heightened record company interest in the versatile group in ’07 and early ’08. Their effortless singing style, coupled with a playfully off-kilter beat-sensibility became a notable trademark of Cash Cash, rallying fans and critics to their musical cause everywhere they played. The band is rewarding their fiercely loyal online base with a ‘Party In Your Bedroom’ video contest, prompting fans to send in their own version of the world’s best ‘Dance Party In Your Bedroom,’ video for a chance to win a $500 Gift card from popular retail outlet Bed, Bath and Beyond – and a subsequent makeover in Cash Cash style of the lucky winner’s very own bedroom.
