What a Drag: LA duo pissed at album re-release
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver April 4th, 2006

Giant Drag's Annie Hardy has told Rolling Stone that she's just a little pissed at the band's label re-releasing their Hearts And Unicorns LP Stateside, including UK bonus track 'Wicked Game'.

Hardy - who told DiS earlier this year that everything was fine with the label, Kickball/Interscope, prior to their recording of the Chris Isaak song (click HERE for the interview) - told the US magazine:

"Obviously, the cover wasn't on the original version of the album because we didn't fucking want it there. It was a song that I had been playing before, and it's only three chords. Little did we know."

The song has hit airwaves in the US with no little force, though, leading to the move to re-release the pair's debut long-player. Hardy added: "...this could be a foot in the door, or it could be the kiss of death and we'll be the next Alien Ant Farm. Wait and see!"

The pair tour later this month:

April
10 London Borderline
12 Glasgow Barfly
13 Liverpool Carling Academy 2
15 Cardiff Barfly
18 Birmingham Bar Academy
19 Leeds Josephs Well
20 Manchester Night & Day
21 Bristol Louisiana
