**_Legendary Dwarves frontman Blag Dahlia has digitally released his new LP, Introducing
Ralph Champagne, with a physical release to follow on Greedy Media via MVD Entertainment
on October 21._**

Whereas the Dwarves have long been revered for in-your-face, defiantly non-PC punk
rock and garage thrash, Ralph Champagne introduces an infectious brand of Retro-
Americana and Outlaw Country style that you and your most embarrassing friends can
celebrate even with everybody watching. Ralph Champagne embodies the lovably shady
crooner, serving up catchy melodies and off color lyrics with a rakish smile and
ad libs worthy of the late late show. Arguably, the best looking man in show business,
he might also be physically attractive and wealthy beyond his wildest dreams.

**The first video and single “Lolita Goodbye” is premiering on Spin.com:**

**About Ralph Champagne:**
During the plague year of 2020, songwriter Dahlia and
vocalist Champagne joined forces with pop producer Andy Carpenter and a cast of 
good-looking session players to create the _Introducing Ralph Champagne_ LP. Running
the gamut of styles from outlaw country and trucker ballads to sugary euro-pop duets,
rockabilly, novelty songs, and Country Trap Remixes, the record stays fresh with
repeated listening.

While the DWARVES uncompromising vision of gut level rock & roll, dazzling production,
and filthy lyrics have created a unique legacy spanning over four decades, RALPH
CHAMPAGNE is the new libertine on the block, trading in Dahlia’s trademark punk 
growl for the sultry stylings of a soul-stained lounge lizard.

_“A guy who knows how to rub some people the wrong way, some the right. A guy who
doesn’t believe in musical comfort zones. A guy who is completely capable of stirring
things up as well as silence an entire room. Someone who doesn’t run at the first
sign of trouble. If there isn’t any trouble, the guy knows when and how to create
it. Kids in punk bands, you could definitely learn a thing or two from Blag Dahlia.”–_**

_“Short of G.G. Allin, it would be hard to name a punk rock band that went further
to establish a bad reputation than the Dwarves.” – _**_All Music_**
