Video: GIRLS - Honey Bunny (new song - New Orleans, 2-2-10)

Photo by Sandy Kim One of the most highly regarded and consistently great bands of the past few years would have to be San Francisco's Girls. Their debut, Album , was a strong introductory statement that lead many to place it on year-end lists back in 2009. The band only matured into something greater with the follow-up, last year's fantastic Broken Dreams Club EP -- one of my favorite releases of the past 12 months. Now, Girls are set to release their sophomore album entitled Father, Son, Holy [...]

Girls - "Honey Bunny" (via Stereogum ) In a matter of less than a year, San Francisco's sunny retro pop gurus Girls have found expedited success through relentless touring and sought after releases. Just in time for Valentine's Day, the band's returning home, ending its latest tour with a sold out date at the Great American Music Hall Sunday night (9pm). It feels like it's been a while since Girls made our radar, but much has been going on, including some notable [...]

While on tour in New Orleans, San Fran's favorite Girls performed a new track allegedly titled "Honey Bunny." The video is above.

Radiohead no twitter (e lançando disco novo?), Broken Social Scene de volta (enfim!) e mais algumas coisinhas na edição da semana do Randomizando (não, não é semanal, mas who knows). O Radiohead, o Twitter e os rumores E enfim o Radiohead tem um twitter. VERIFIED ACCOUNT, minha gente. E o Thom também (ainda não é "verified", mas segue e é seguido pelo perfil da banda). Por enquanto, só há o "testing twitter" acima postado, mas com o Radiohead já deu para perceber que onde há fumaça, há fogo. Às vezes, um incêndio [...]

Girls may have released their debut album, "Album" last September but that doesn't mean that was the end of new material. They have a lot of unreleased material that was not included on album or as b-sides and has been played live for a while. Now in New Orleans they have... Click the link to read more

Album brought Girls all the accolades, now it's on to the next one. From the band's show at New Orleans's One Eyed Jack's last night comes this vid of the presumably new tune "Honey Bunny," filmed during the encore by reader Marc Sketcher. Christopher delivers this mostly solo, with some supplemental tambourine, so we have a bit to go before it's fully developed. Some things about "Honey Bunny" that won't surprise you, though: it's rooted in that late '50s/early'60s guitar pop vibe, its melody is a larval earworm just about ready to stick in yr brain for days, and [...]
