100 gecs shares “Hollywood Baby”
100 gecs have shared “Hollywood Baby” a track off their forthcoming album 10,000 gecs, which is set for release March 17th via Dog Show Records/Atlantic Records. A music video accompanies the single, directed by Laura Les and Dylan Brady and edited by longtime 100 gecs collaborator Weston Allen, showcasing the gecs dancing while setting off fireworks in their apartment. They have also revealed the tracklist for 10,000 gecs, which was written, produced, and performed by Laura and Dylan with the help of legendary drummer Josh Freese in Los Angeles.
“Hollywood Baby” follows the announcement of their upcoming North America tour with support from Machine Girl and Fever Ray. This tour follows the album release beginning April 4th until May 21st, performing shows in Chicago, Montreal, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The dates are part of the 10,000 gecs tour, which included a North American leg in 2021, a successful European leg last year, and high profile appearances at festivals like Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo.
Following their debut album, 1,000 gecs, the anticipation of their next body of work has been high and the band’s teases have been plentiful. They recently released a surprise EP, Snake Eyes. The EP features 3 unreleased tracks including “Torture Me” featuring Skrillex and “Hey Big Man” which has been a crowd favorite as the show opener on their tour. They detailed the early 10,000 gecs creation process in an illuminating 2021 Pitchfork Cover Story that took fans into the studio with the duo for the first time. The forthcoming album is set to include previously released singles “mememe” which was described in the story as “an ebullient carnival of ska-inflected verses that bounce off a chorus of thrash guitars and a squiggling synth line” along with the 90’s Alt Rock-inspired “Doritos & Fritos,” which The FADER noted as “unlike any other Gecs track before it.”
1,000 gecs previous album The Tree of Clues, a rework of the original album featured collaborations from of A. G. Cook, Fall Out Boy, Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, as well as crowd sourced contributions by fans. As a band that has kept followers and the music scene as a whole guessing at every turn, we never know what to expect is coming next from the duo, but one unknown thing that has been on the mind of all of their die-hard fans for three years now is known.
