Neckbeard Telecaster @ Mercury Lounge, May 2011 (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
Neckbeard Telecaster

Brooklyn's multi-male, whiskey-loving collective Neckbeard Telecaster have just released their self-titled debut which you can get from the band's website. The album definitely has some twang, but I wouldn't really call it country. You can get a taste of the record via the video for "Hooker Money," which finds pretty much every member of the band at a difficult time in their lives. You can watch it below.

Neckbeard Telecaster will play a record release show on Wednesday (3/6) at Union Pool which will be a tight fit for the 10-plus members of the band. The show also features sets from Gold Lake, August Wells and Garvey J. Show flyer below.

This band has been around for many years (I recognize their ridiculous name from years ago). They're only releasing a debut album now? Was their name holding them back this whole time?

Well say one thing for the name - it obviously stands out. So mission accomplished.

I actually no longer hate the name, which I did at the start of this comment.

The Modern Weepers helped launch their career and get them a record deal.

At least one band member gets kicked out of the club every time they play.

C'mon now...the video is hysterical, especially the bar brawl in the middle of Death By Audio.

i am starting to think the slightly positive comments are coming from actual band members.. brooklyn vegan comments are strictly for the negative and spiteful. Screw this stupid band even if they are pretty good.

Willisburg is going to be pretty cool in like 5 years.

What about Williamsburg? Douche. Is the singer that gay guy?

The bass player looks like Lana del Ray, but not at all.

I saw this band once and it was fun, I'll give you that. One of them tried to seduce me in the bar area with his hips. It didn't work, I'm an elbow guy.

I'm suing them for the use of the word neckbeard.
