DUBLIN'S GIRL BAND ANNOUNCE FLEXI DISC SINGLE FOR RECORD STORE DAY - UK TOUR AND FIRST FESTIVAL DATES
WATCH "LAWMAN" VIDEO ON YOUTUBE:
"these shores' answer to HEALTH's pained, psychotic frenzies and Liars' daring invention. They're that good." - DIY
"abrasive, unrestrained and exhilarating" - NME
"a feral beast of a no-wave song" - Stereogum
"rules in excelsis" - The Quietus
"noise-pop genius" - Drowned In Sound
Girl Band wil follow up "Lawman" with their next single on Any Other City Records, "The Cha Cha Cha", on flexidisc, for Record Store Day. The flexidisc will be limited to 100 copies, and only available in record stores.
Girl Band have also added more UK dates that will see them return to London, at the Shacklewell Arms, and along with other regional dates, will take them to Scotland for the first time. The band have also been confirmed for this years Beacons Festival alongside the likes of Daughter, Hookworms, Jon Hopkins and The Fall and internationally for Holland's influential Best Kept Secret.
Girl Band's handful of UK dates in January were a revelation, with a 4 star live review that earned them comparisons to The Birthday Party in The Guardian and more kind words in the NME for their opener in Brighton. The start of the year saw widespread blog appreciation, with the band being covered as The Guardian's New Band Of The Day.
After healthy orders of the record on 7", which has now sold out entirely, they put "Lawman" up for free download via their Bandcamp site:
