all the indie girls: POLL

there was actually a huge buzz band like year ago called WOMEN, get with it ,read your blogs, etc

also, i haven't heard US Girls yet, but Vivian Girls are the clear winner here

^^that record is only ok

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.

(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)

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.

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

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

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.

yeah women are a bunch of dudes

thx i needed to un-icp my username

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

what a horribly played "joke"

most girls bands seem to be bunches of dudes

PS fellow bunch of dudes Bostonian 70s-80s synthpunks/new-wavers The Girls >>>>> Girls

There's also Golden Girls and Parenthetical Girls.

not to mention Theoretical Girls

xp Theoretical Girls = a bunch of dudes

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

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

Marine Girls still rule the Girls bands.

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

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.

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

Sun City Girls also notably bepenised indie musicians of old

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

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

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

scissor girls pwn all these weak band

I vote for Little Women.

also Wives would do well in such a poll

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

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...

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

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.

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!

Brazilian Girls, or are they not indie enough?

yep that's another one.

Nine Inch Girls
Girlsmack
Girlbage
Third Eye Girl

u.s. girls!

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

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.)

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

not anymore!

girls names (new EP on captured trax)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

us girls > dum dum girls > vivian girls > gore gore girls *whom ive never heard* >>>>>>>> girls *whom i have heard*

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!"

happy to see 8 u.s. girls fans, still don't understand the fuss about the vivians.

there was one woman in Theoretical Girls

boston Girls were awesome.

Screaming Females

^^ 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")

i really like them a lot too.

should do caves next: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/04/caves_are_the_n.html
