BUCKCHERRY: 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Performance Available

September 17, 2008

California rockers BUCKCHERRY performed a free outdoor mini-concert on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on September 11 in Hollywood, California. Footage of the "Too Drunk…" performance, which aired on last night's (September 16) show, can be viewed below.

BUCKCHERRY released its fourth studio album, titled "Black Butterfly", on Tuesday (September 16). The CD follows up 2006's "15", which marked a huge comeback for the band after it was left for dead in 2002. "15" sold more than one million copies and produced several hit singles, with the song "Crazy Bitch" becoming one of the most popular ringtones ever. Although the band is now bigger than it was before its four-year hiatus, singer Josh Todd told The Pulse of Radio their values remain the same. "When we started out, I remember Keith (Nelson, guitarist) and I just saying that we had gotten to a point where just, like, we just wanted to make music that we were excited about," he said. "It was just all about, like, 'Let's just go and enjoy ourselves.' And we still have that philosophy today, you know, like we don't want to overthink it and we don't want to chase radio, you know, we just want to make the music that means something to us. And if it's real to us, it's gonna be real to everybody else."

BUCKCHERRY came onto the scene in 1999 with its self-titled debut album, which went gold. But its 2001 sophomore effort, "Time Bomb", was a sales disappointment, leading Todd and Nelson to put the band on ice until 2005.

Todd and Nelson are the only original members still in the group. During BUCKCHERRY's hiatus they were involved with an early version of VELVET REVOLVER.

"Don't Go Away" is the latest single from "Black Butterfly". It follows up "Too Drunk..."
