This Girls video reminds me of the opening credits of The Wonder Years . You know, if The Wonder Years featured chicks grabbing their boobs in bath tubs and dudes groping each other in their Y-fronts. Which it should have. Girls - Lust for Life
Tema y video bonitos. Música de entusiasmo puro.
Remember when Black Mountain released that song "No Satisfaction" a few years ago? You went in expecting to hear a crappy, overplayed cover, and then discovered that it was actually an original—and a pretty good one at that. Girls just released a new video for their tune "Lust for Life" and, as you've probably guessed from my preamble, it's not an Iggy Pop cover. Its melody is sweet enough to be a (pre- Pet Sounds ) Beach Boys song, although the lo-fi jangle, out-of-key melodica and slurred vocals make it sound [...]

It's only been three weeks since I featured San Fran's Girls' last video - 'Hellhole Ratrace' . Well here they are again with their two and a half minute fun time happy tune 'Lust for Life' (no relation). It's an updated video for an older song (see the first one on Youtube ) which will appear on the annoyingly-titled album Album out in late September.

A little over a year ago we gave Girls their NYC debut . Today we get a video in support of their 7" out next month. If you're not familiar, yes it's a different "Lust For Life," but Girls' Album opener has an uppity and excited hedonism that Iggy would also embrace. The Aaron Brown-directed video for the track includes some of the folks you'll remember from the epic up-all-night " Hellhole Ratrace " clip (which Brown co-directed). Hopefully they stick with this Nan Goldin/Ryan McGinley-style aesthetic for the rest of the collection. It works excellently with [...]
Can Girls get any better? Their debut album entitled 'Album' hits Sep 21st.
One of the most oddly sexual videos I've seen in quite some time. It's also one of my favorite songs of 2009. Girls- Lust For Life
Music video for "Lust For Life" by San Francisco's Girls.
When I wrote about Girls ' performance at the Biltmore a few days ago , I mentioned that their best song was the singalong epic "Hellhole Ratrace." The song is the first single from their upcoming debut album, the simply-titled Album , and the group recently shot a video for the tune. At seven minutes long, it's not your typical radio single, but the song's cinematic quality makes it perfect video fodder. The clip depicts a dusk-till-dawn party, taking Girls and a group of friends around their hometown of San Francisco. Nothing much really happens—the [...]
B-sides are a funny thing. Often recorded at the last minute or pooled from the leftovers not deemed fit enough for an album release, these things can turn out a bit funny. With Girls however, things are different. Solitude, the b-side to the incredible Hellhole Ratrace which was released on Monday , sees Girls strip back their typically woozy, rock n' roll style for something altogether softer and more melancholic. Chris Owen's tender lyrics sit right up [...]
The nice kids over at The Fader did us all a favor yesterday by uploading a video of Girls performing a couple songs from the Monster Island Basement show I wrote about Monday. I thought it was worth revisiting, and reblogging the clip, because these two songs, "Laura" and "Lust For Life," perfectly illustrate why I love this band. I love that Girls are a group of road-weary dudes with tattoos playing sweet and kind of old-timey love songs, like Vivian Girls except [...]
Here are three new(ish) videos that have been making some figurative waves 'round the interwebs over the past several weeks, a trio of Buzz Bin worthy clips perhaps? Check it out: "Black Sand" by Jenny Lewis, "Safe For The Time Being" by Mason Proper, and "Hellhole Ratrace" by Girls. Enjoy! Black Sand Visit Jenny Lewis on MySpace .

For a while I was confused by Girls , a San Francisco band with only four songs to their name. I wasn't confused about whether I liked them or not, since I've had those four songs on continuous repeat since discovering them, but confused as to what the band is trying to achieve. Their songs are sweet, with shockingly old-fashioned subject matter, as if they were a '60s R&B group, but less saccharine and balanced out by a noisy undercurrent that, at times, achieves My Bloody Valentine levels. But, when I [...]
Girls - "Hellhole Ratrace" Congrats to SF's Girls , whose debut full length album, er, Album , will be released September 22nd on True Panther Sounds in conjunction with the venerable Matador Records . The band's debut 73 was terrific, and their live shows equally compelling, and Matador is whetting my appetite with the description below: Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and the ethereal production of Chet “JR” White, Girls recorded Album in a variety of bedrooms and rehearsal [...]
Girls At Hotel Utah, From The HAD Archive We've been digging on San Francisco's Girls ever since we saw their very first show at Port O'Brien's CD release last spring. Since then, the band has been gradually winning over the internet with their catchily-retro sounds, and a killer seven inch released last year . Today news came down the wire that the band has finally completed the follow up to that seven inch with a full length entitled, simply, Album [...]
True Panther Sounds has set the release date of Girls ' full-length debut, Album, for September 22, 2009. You may recall we posted "Hellhole Ratrace" back in January. "Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and the ethereal production of Chet "JR" White, Girls recorded Album in a variety of bedrooms and rehearsal studios in their adopted hometown, San Francisco. The resulting 12 tracks are the perfect San Francisco summer record, evoking a narcotic, sunny afternoon in Dolores [...]

Christopher Owen y J.R White son Girls . Tocaron hace poco en el Primavera Sound, me los perdí pero me dijeron que fue guay. Por suerte los conocí y una noche ví en primicia el video que acaban de publicar de la canción " Hellhole ratrace ". Elvis Costello , incluso, dice que le flipan. Acaban de sacar un álbum con el infatigable sello True Panther . Os dejo esta canción que es pura inspiración.
