The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let's-Go-Out-Tonites is the third full-length solo album by Butch Walker, released on July 11, 2006 on Epic Records. The album's title is a reference to the David Bowie album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The album's lead single was "Bethamphetamine (Pretty, Pretty)". The video for the single featured Avril Lavigne in a starring role and was inspired in the story of Christiane F. Those who preordered the album from select outlets were given the bonus track "New York Minute" in mp3 format.
