^^that record is only ok

call all destroyer, Monday, 12 April 2010 14:57 (fifteen years ago)

i've never listened to u.s. girls or gore gore girls. but i hate girls, think dum dum girls are ok, and really like vivian girls.

call all destroyer, Monday, 12 April 2010 14:57 (fifteen years ago)

(u.s. girls by a long distance, btw. but gore gore girls seem pretty good too. and i like the two dum dum girls songs i've heard.)

(wd vote for that Ladies album btw - Rob Crow of Pinback + Zach Hill from Hella)

falling while carrying an owl (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 12 April 2010 14:59 (fifteen years ago)

still don't like vivian girls much.

maybe need to listen to WOMEN. (are they women, is it ironic like "girls"?)

xpost: ok need to listen to LADIES too. maybe separate poll should be GIRLS vs. WOMEN vs. LADIES.

INSANE CLOWN POSSE IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE OF MUSIC (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:00 (fifteen years ago)

write in vote for my band, black crystal wolf girls.

i think women are a bunch of dudes, haven't heard that album.

mizzell, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:01 (fifteen years ago)

also apparently there is a band called the dames, so i'm corrected on all fronts. still, profusion of "girls" bands is the point here.

INSANE CLOWN POSSE IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE OF MUSIC (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:02 (fifteen years ago)

yeah women are a bunch of dudes

call all destroyer, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:02 (fifteen years ago)

Trip Maker, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:09 (fifteen years ago)

There's also Golden Girls and Parenthetical Girls.

jam master (jaymc), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:19 (fifteen years ago)

not to mention Theoretical Girls

Trip Maker, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

xp Theoretical Girls = a bunch of dudes

Snop Snitchin, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

there's also Girls at Dawn, who I think are all female.

mizzell, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:22 (fifteen years ago)

Dangerous Girls, not a current band like most of these, but... a bunch of dudes.

Colonel Poo, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:26 (fifteen years ago)

Marine Girls still rule the Girls bands.

thought this would be about the various indie girls covering beyonce (,gaga etc) on youtube

abcfsk, Monday, 12 April 2010 15:28 (fifteen years ago)

so is the girls meme a, what, revisitation of riot-grrls/sassy-era girl power? or just, like, something that sounds cute? or both maybe. or just a lack of imagination.

thought this would be about the various indie girls covering beyonce (,gaga etc) on youtube

ugh no.

women are a bunch of dudes (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:29 (fifteen years ago)

There is another The Ladies, they are a 'ribald' garage punk band from Virginia

Book us we will piss you off, let us into a party you will kick us out, date us you will dump us. We rule you suck. Eat shit! Also due to work schedules and legal problems we will (for the most part) only be willing to play Saturday Nights until mid May so don't ask us to book a show for you or for us to play a show unless it's really worth our while. xoxo - Ladies

neden magnet (DJ Mencap), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:30 (fifteen years ago)

Sun City Girls also notably bepenised indie musicians of old

neden magnet (DJ Mencap), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:36 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, I thought of Theoretical, Sun City, and Marine, but I thought we were sticking with current bands.

jam master (jaymc), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:37 (fifteen years ago)

aye. there's been this bunch of them just recently.

women are a bunch of dudes (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 15:40 (fifteen years ago)

(gore gore girls predate the rest on the list, but they're recent enough.)

also Wives would do well in such a poll

Snop Snitchin, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:19 (fifteen years ago)

waiting for mothra to sketch out his point more because this isn't v.provocative by itself.

ogmor, Monday, 12 April 2010 19:09 (fifteen years ago)

it's not a point, just some girls bands. tho i'm sort of interested by how many more there are than i even knew. (conversely i can think of "boys" bands in the past -- beach, soft, dead, geto, fat, hot, backstreet -- but not contemporary, and definitely not in the indie realm.) i dunno, it doesn't mean anything, it's just, like...

women are a bunch of dudes (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 19:29 (fifteen years ago)

(any poll i start on a monday morning after a weekend-long decongestant binge is not going to be very well thought out, tbh.)

women are a bunch of dudes (tipsy mothra), Monday, 12 April 2010 19:38 (fifteen years ago)

haha well I thought now you've identified your area of study you might have some thoughts on indie attitudes towards gender. there seems to be just enough subtlety in this to let it balance between being interesting and being too vague to be worth talking about even if you avoid generalisations.

ogmor, Monday, 12 April 2010 20:53 (fifteen years ago)

U.S. Girls for me; the rest are just indie/pop bands right? I don't think I've even heard of the Gore Gore Firls!

ian, Monday, 12 April 2010 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

Brazilian Girls, or are they not indie enough?

o. nate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 15:34 (fifteen years ago)

yep that's another one.

Silly poll, but Gore Gore Girls are easily one of the best rock bands of the past decade, so them.

xhuxk, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 17:28 (fifteen years ago)

it is a silly poll yes. but i mostly put gore gore girls on it in case you opened it and said 'hey where's the gore gore girls'? (they are pretty good tho.)

women are a bunch of dudes (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 23:20 (fifteen years ago)

Morning After Girls (which did have a girl in the band at one point. don't know if that's still the case)

69, Thursday, 15 April 2010 23:22 (fifteen years ago)

Every time I read that one of these all-girl bands "hark back to girl-group bands of the sixties", more often than not I listen to them and think "No they don't!"

Screaming Females

oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 21:43 (fifteen years ago)

^^ this is a joke-heavy thread, so I should clarify: there is a band called Screaming Females and I like some of their singles a lot (see: "Pretty OK," "I Do")

oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 21:44 (fifteen years ago)

i really like them a lot too.

The Holy Seefeel (latebloomer), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 22:38 (fifteen years ago)
