History

Cash Cash formed in 2007, but the members had been playing in other various groups together since elementary school. The group signed with Universal Republic Records in 2007.

The band's first EP for Universal reached #24 on the Billboard magazine Heatseekers chart. The group then toured with Tyga and Metro Station, among many others such as Boys Like Girls, The White Tie Affair, & Forever The Sickest Kids. Their debut full-length album was released December 23, 2008 on iTunes through Universal and debuted in stores January 20, 2009, reaching #31 on the Heatseekers chart.

Fall 2008, the band did a Hot Topic in-store tour with We The Kings & Hey Monday playing acoustic and doing a table signing for sold out fans.

In April 2009, Cash Cash toured with Kevin Rudolf, Hyper Crush, & Jeremy Greene on the Let it Rock (Tour) while their single was being played on Top 40 stations throughout the country,

Cash Cash played the main stage at Bamboozle in May 2009 playing in front of close to 5 thousand people. In Spring 2009 they did a sold out tour supporting Cobra Starship in the UK. That summer they embarked on the Vans Warped Tour with artists such as 3OH3. Fall of 2009 they did a house of blues tour with Family Force 5 and Breathe Carolina. Cash Cash also toured on the 2009 EZ Bronze Tour with Breathe Carolina. At the end of February and into the beginning of March 2010, they headlined an east coast mini tour with Shawn Fisher followed by their first full headlining US tour, "The Robots In Hightops Tour"

On December 15, 2009, the band released a new single. Their cover of Cascada's single "Everytime We Touch" includes rapper MC Oz and debuted on the Zune marketplace. On December 18, 2009, they premiered the song live at the School of Rock in South Hackensack, NJ at their soldout hometown concert. On March 9, 2010 Cash Cash released a cover single of the Alphaville song "Forever Young".

That winter Cash Cash played the Seattle Kiss FM show "Jingle Bell Bash" with (The All - American Rejects, Cobra Starship, & All Time Low). The show was sold out with an 8,000 person audience.

The band released a new single in mid-November on Universal titled "Red Cup (I Fly Solo)" featuring Lacey Schwimmer (Dancing with the Stars) and Spose.

Cash Cash thought it would be a cool idea to release the original demo version of "Party In Your Bedroom" so their fans could see what the demo started out as before it was re-written for the album. This version contains different vocals, instruments, and alternative explicit lyrics.

The group released their second full length album "Love or Lust" on April 19, 2011 through Twilight Records.

Shortly after Cash Cash released their first single "Sexin' On The Dance Floor feat. Jeffree Star" that gained a lot of internet success.

The group sold out a headlining tour in Japan as well as shows in Brazil in 2011 supporting their album "Love Or Lust"

Production/Writing/Remixes

Cash Cash Music is a professional production team that specializes in producing, recording, and writing music ranging from dance/pop to alternative/rock. Having learned from producers such as Matt Mahaffey & Jeff Turzo (Hellgoodbye, Forever The Sickest Kids, Wired All Wrong) & S*A*M & Sluggo (Metrostation, Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, Gym Class Hereos), they quickly put all our experiences together and were able to make a team of their own.
