The Girls

Whilst I have a spot of time, a full cup of Java and a bit of gumption I'll add something to this pile that needs adding. Things may be a bit sporadic, but I haven't abandoned this ship.


1. Jeffrey I Hear U
2. The Elephant Man

The Girls were from Boston. Theirs was the only non-Ubu related single released on Hearpen records. They existed from mid-70's to some time in the early 80's and if the bass player in a former band is to be believed (and he knew all the principles) actively hated each other which translated into some fierce shows and stage fights. At least as I remember him telling it. This was their only official offering. And it's an amazing corker of synth noises and chaos and in the case of "Jeffrey I Hear U" a single chord.
Shortly after their demise an Lp called "Reunion" appeared out of nowhere and promptly flicked out of existence. (It's on my list of things I need to digitize, but the good folks at Mutant Sounds already took care of it as well.)

Do you need this? Yes. Yes you do. And very loudly.
