what can possibly be said about the band girls that hasnt already been said? not a whole lot, which is surprising since the san francisco duo have yet to put out an album. in the last year the lo-fi indie two-some have released a couple 7" vinyls featuring 1-2 songs, but nothing more substantial. then again, those few infectious tracks were all that they needed to break out; slow-jam "hellhole ratrace" & lively "lust for life" set the stage for major buzz & blogosphere love.
how much TLC are girls getting? well, if were talking about the band, enough to land a deal w/ nyc label true panther sounds & secure a (current) us tour w/ the ever-more-prominent the pains of being pure at heart. then directly afterwards, girls embark on a european leg where they headline each show. not bad at all. girls drop their full-length album, laconically titled "album", on september 22nd.
girls live in sf:
september 9th @ the Great American Music Hall w/ cass mccombs & papercuts
september 15th @ Amoeba Records
