Get Out the Lotion is the debut album by Philadelphia-based indie rock band Low Cut Connie. The band self-released the album on January 1, 2011, after debuting it on New Year's Eve at Philadelphia's Old Swedes' Church.[1]
Background and recording
The songs on the album were first written as the result of a very unfocused collaboration between Low Cut Connie's two main members--Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore--both of whom were already members of their own bands at the time. The album was recorded over a four-day period at the Gainesville, Florida studio of the band's guitarist Neil Duncan.[2]
