Don't sleep. Don't retreat. Stay a while. Let's spend the night together. Cheena testify to a long history of New York nights, trading insults and borrowing beer at rooftop parties that began years ago. There's plenty of New York in this band - Lou Reed's better glam punches found a jawline or two among them, the heavy handed playing of the Dolls, and that particular manner of NY glam you can hear in Kiss - that's all in Cheena. Spend The Night With... is a soundtrack to nights where revelry and lust are never isolated from poor decisions and vanity, where the grave sincerity of a bathroom confession explodes into cruelty and hysteria, nights on busy streets or crowded subway cars coloured with elegant ambition and constrained by the practicality of street smarts. The debut LP from members of Pharmakon, Crazy Spirit, Hank Wood & the Hammerheads, Anasazi, and Dawn of Humans, produced by Ben Greenberg (Uniform, The Men, Hubble).
