BIG GAY ICE CREAM TRUCK GETS COOL WITH NEW THEME SONG BY GO-GO

JANE WIEDLIN



“Big Gay Ice Cream Song” Hits Digital Download on August 22, 2010



August 18, 2010 (New York, NY) – Music and ice cream trucks go hand-in-hand, so when New York City’s Big Gay Ice Cream Truck needed theme music, they skipped over the obvious choices – Peaches and Herb are more likely to be a flavor than the music for this rolling love on ice-capade. Big Gay Ice Cream announces today the release of its new theme song, “Big Gay Ice Cream Song,” composed by Jane Wiedlin.



“Big Gay Ice Cream Song” is three minutes of sugary pop goodness, sort of like ice cream for your ears and will be available via iTunes and digital download services August 22, 2010.



The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck began rolling the streets of New York City in June 2009. Described by The Village Voice as “a cross between Mister Softee and Mario Batali” their menu combines traditional soft-serve ice cream with imaginative toppings such as wasabi pea dust, Nilla Wafers, Dulce de Leche, olive oil and sea salt, and other rotating offerings. These are dispensed the way ice cream should be — with humor and good cheer.


While in design-college in the mid 1970s, Jane Wiedlin and Belinda Carlisle founded the legendary rock band the Go-Go’s amidst a burgeoning Los Angeles punk rock scene. The Go-Go’s were the first all-female band to reach #1 on the Billboard charts and released a slew of hits including “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “We Got the Beat,” and “Vacation.” The band’s enormous success also included selling out Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl, and appearing twice on the cover of Rolling Stone. In addition to her work as a Go-Go, Jane has released six albums of her own, including the hits “Rush Hour,” “Blue Kiss,” and “Tangled,” which was featured in the movie Pretty Woman. Rolling Stone called Jane’s most-recent solo album Kissproof World, a “solo tour-de-force by an entrepreneur, an actress and rock goddess.”


“Big Gay Ice Cream Song” was produced by Travis Kasperbauer for the Painful Discs label, published by Wiedwacker Music/ASCAP.
