The Virgins - FREE INSTORE

The Virgins Free In-store Performance
Tuesday, July 29th - 7:00pm
(Free for Live Music Club members)

This one is filling up fast. We're hearing the folks at Indie 103.1 are about to go very big on this record and as soon as that happens, we're going to be full, so if you're dangling you're going to get left outside.

We are pretty happy with ourselves for scoring this little band out of New York City. You see, The Virgins sound like nothing else as much as they sound like 1978 - and you have to admit, that was a pretty great year to sound like, especially if you factor in the New York thing. Their formative years were spent sneaking into their local 80's night and boy did it stick, these guys would have been a great double bill with The Velvet Underground, Blondie, Jonathan Richman (when he was a Modern Lover), or the Talking Heads, and that doesn't even touch on their swagger and strut that recalls an early Costello. With all the love they are getting from Indie 103, this will be a big deal. The guest list is open now, but it won't be for long. Since we don't recommend googling them, we've included some pertinent info below.

Some recent press:
"4 Stars"
    - Rolling Stone Magazine

"The Virgins have had the kind of out-of-thin ether rise that causes bloggers to gush and their peers to curse."
    - Spin Magazine

"We're jealous of their futures, basically."
    - Vice Magazine
