would begin in February 2009. He also announced that the Riverdales would be playing live one-off shows again and that Adam Cargin (of the Blueheels) would be the band's new drummer. The album, titled Invasion U.S.A., was released on July 14, 2009. In September 2009, it was announced that Simon Lamb would be joining the band as a second guitarist. Prior to that for live purposes, Dan Schafer was playing second guitar and singing while Justin Perkins, who had recorded Invasion U.S.A., played bass guitar. A couple months later in November 2009, Mike Park of Asian Man Records announced that Weasel had decided to sever his relationship with the label and that Recess Records would now be carrying the Screeching Weasel, Riverdales and Ben Weasel's solo back catalogues. On December 13, 2009, Weasel announced on Twitter that the fifth Riverdales album would be called Tarantula, they began recording the next day. Weasel has stated that if he had had his way, Invasion U.S.A. would have been a double LP and that Tarantula should be considered part two of Invasion U.S.A.. Tarantula was released on June 8, 2010 as a digital download and June 22 on CD and vinyl. In December 2010, the band announced they had signed to Fat Wreck Chords, and the label would be re-releasing some of their old material. In March 2011, Ben Weasel was involved in an altercation with two female audience members at a Screeching Weasel show at the Austin, Texas SXSW Festival. This resulted in the other members of both Screeching Weasel and the Riverdales quitting the band. In the aftermath of this, former members Dan Vapid and Simon Lamb started a solo project called Dan Vapid and the Cheats with whom Vapid will be singing his Riverdales songs.
