Brent Weinbach's new album, THE NIGHT SHIFT, is out now!!!

After an entire year sequestered in the Shill Building studios, the new full-length album by comic extraordinaire Brent Weinbach (winner of the 2007 Andy Kaufman award), THE NIGHT SHIFT has finally been released.

Not any sort of traditional live comedy record, The Night Shift is a densely woven mix of in-studio routines replete with Nintendo 8-bit style backing tracks (composed and performed by Brent), some live comedy club material recorded at the legendary Purple Onion, some of Brent's original piano and vocal songs that have a surprising heartfelt Tin Pan Alley bent, disturbing phone messages and much more. The overall vibe is perhaps somewhere in the outer Joe Frank universe but it's safe to say that there's never before been a comedy album like this one. Okay, so maybe it's the TUSK of comedy albums.

The Night Shift was recorded and produced by Chris Portfolio and Anthony Bedard of the San Francisco rock bands, Hank IV and ThemeWeavers LLC (of Tom Scharpling’s The Best Show on WFMU notoriety) and mastered by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs) at Louder Studios; the live recordings were captured by Nathan Winters of Rooftop Comedy; the cover art photos were taken by Geoffrey Ellis, of Sadkids and the official photographer for Memphis’ Gonerfest garage rock festival; and the album was designed by Miles Stegall of Idiot or Genius?
