Jeffrey Novak has been at the center of Cheap Time since the band started in 2006. Jeff writes and sings all those Cheap Time songs we love. He’s also the guy standing in the middle of that photograph, but that aint Lake Michigan he’s standing in. These guys are in the middle of a massive U.S. tour which has seen them swerving around all those states that are warmer than ours.Cheap Time have been teasing us before their Valentine’s day date at the bottle with these photos they keep sending. The pics are quite the tantalizing. They show us a band we love, but haven’t had the pleasure of seeing in almost three years, and that there is still land that exists outside this polar vortex.Besides releasing 5 records over the past six years, Cheap time has been touring like crazy, and on a quest for a Ramones letter opener. Luckily, they’ve found time to come visit us Friday the 14th (and apparently the Ramones letter opener).Angular, curvaceous, rhythmic, sexy, post-punk, touches of Krautrock – that’s what all the kids are saying about Cheap Time. It’s also how we would describe most of our romantic relationships, which is why we couldn’t picture a better fit for a Valentine’s Day show. You don’t want to be a lonely loser on a Friday night, so grab a glass of punch of four from the bar and drink yourself pretty.Their tour even took them through gator country. Luckily, all limbs are still intact, so they’ll still be able to give us their maximum rock and roll on ol’ February 14th.Words by Tim Gurnig. Photos by Cheap Time.
