Artist History
In early 1999, a guy walked into a Jimmy Eat World show in Houston’s ozone night, scrounged for free lukewarm pizza, and saw the future of pop music, not in those boys from Arizona, but in two girls dancing next to him who loved to hear the sounds of two guitars clashing.In early 1999, a guy walked into a garage practice space, in the immigrant section of Houston, and saw the future of pop music, not in the hard-working guys who fixed TVs in a 10 by 10 oven that cost a hundred bucks a month, but in a kid with a mop of blond hair and a surfer’s tan who liked David Bowie and Royal Trux.In early 1999, a guy walked into this same garage and saw the future of pop music, not in the stacks of fast food cartons and dangling naked overhead bulbs, but in a redhead from Nebraska who was sitting on a rolled up, dingy piece of carpet, humming DB’s songs and dreaming about the love life of The Go-Betweens.That Was Then, This is Now…London Girl is a band that melds the clunk and clatter of punk with the wooing break downs of Motown. They know why the Go Go’s were more than just bubblegum, why Devo made perfect sense.They are the sweet raw hallucinations of a Casio SKI wet dream.The rocket fire throttling of a blue guitar that can crush boys.The du blat, du blat of a cheap drumset made from the ashes of technology.The tender and primal voice of a former riot grrl gone pop mad.The white purrs of a bass plumbing the depths of six speaker heaven. |
