BUCKCHERRY Guitarist Interviewed By MOJO RADIO

Mojo Radio recently conducted an interview with guitarist Keith Nelson of California rockers BUCKCHERRY. The chat is now available for streaming below.

BUCKCHERRY's new album, "All Night Long", is likely to sell between 25,000 and 30,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on August 3.

BUCKCHERRY's fourth studio album, titled "Black Butterfly", opened with around 47,000 copies back in September 2008 to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 8.

Even though "Black Butterfly" did not sell much compared to the band's 2006's million-selling comeback effort, "15", Nelson told The Pulse of Radio that he is not giving up on making albums. "I believe in the album as an artform," he said. "I don't think that putting two songs that are gonna be played on the radio and then a bunch of filler stuff — that's not why we do this. But I have lost faith in the number of records sold as an indicator of success, because our audience is growing, our business is growing. Nothing has receded, except the actual number of physical records that are sold. So I don't think that's a true indication of our success."

BUCKCHERRY recently teamed with the Natural Resources Defense Council to send all the proceeds from sales of their new song "Our World" to the NRDC's Gulf Recovery Fund.

A new version of the song, which was taken from "All Night Long", was made available for purchase as an iTunes exclusive. All the proceeds are going directly to Gulf Coast non-profit groups working to help people, wildlife and fragile ecosystems recover from the BP disaster.

BUCKCHERRY will perform on the Thursday, August 12 episode of ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (which will actually air the morning of Friday, August 13).
