VIDEO OF THE DAY: “AIN’T THE ONLY ONE HAVIN’ FUN” BY THE TURBO FRUITS

We’ll have more to say about the Turbo Fruits and their great new album, Butter, which was released on Tuesday, when they head back to New York City in October for CMJ. In the meantime, you definitely don’t want to be the only one not havin’ fun tonight, as the Nashville-based garage rockers will be at Mercury Lounge with Roomrunner. Butter, the first release on Kings of Leon’s Serpents and Snakes label — and also available as a special limited-edition hot-butter vinyl LP — was recorded in eight days and features such groovin’ tracks as “Where the Stars Don’t Shine,” “Harley Dollar Bill$,” “Sweet Thang,” “Colt 45,” and “Ain’t the Only One Havin’ Fun.” We’ve been waiting for this one for three years, since 2009’s awesome Echo Kid (“Naked with You,” “Mama’s Mad Cos I Fried My Brain”), so we’re psyched that TF head Jonas Stein has at last settled on a full-time lineup — with Dave Tits on bass, Kingsley Brock on guitar, and Matt Hearn on drums — that sounds better than ever and is forging full-speed ahead. Tonight should be one helluva sweet thang indeed.
