Lansing band Elliot Street Lunatic’s second album is something members have been anticipating for a bit.

The band is releasing “Ghost Town Lullabies,” on Feb. 4 at Rubble’s Bar, 112 W. Michigan St.

Elliot Street Lunatic’s lead vocalist and guitarist Jason Marr, from Laingsburg, said he is looking forward to the release.

“I’m excited for people who have been following us for a long time to hear the growth to the final versions of the songs on the album,” he said.

Second guitarist and vocalist for Elliot Street Lunatic and Leslie native Eric Robbins, said they have been waiting a long time for the album to be released.

“Our original goal was to get it out in October (of last year),” he said. “We have been hugely anticipating this for a long time. Hopefully everyone is anticipating it as well.”

Mount Pleasant’s Wavvy Hands, Howell’s Good Weather for Airtstrikes and Muskegon’s Tiger! Tiger! will round out the bill at the release party.

Howell native and Good Weather for Airstrikes singer and guitarist James Radick, who has known the members of Elliot Street Lunatic for several years, said the show will benefit from being held in a small venue.

“I think the Rubble’s show might even be more fun (than the Lansing release show),” he said. “We’ll be packed into a smaller venue. We’re looking forward to it a lot.”

Muskegon’s Tiger! Tiger! will be playing their first show as a full band at Rubble’s. According to lead guitarist and Muskegon native Corey Bickford, the band was formerly a solo project of leader Scott Nelson, but the instrumentalists of another Muskegon band, Audrey, joined the group in December.

Bickford said the songwriting on the album stands out the most to him.

“The songwriting stands out for me rather than any particular instrument,” he said. “They’re good at being a band.”
