Bad sunglasses war

JoJo, winner of the bad sunglasses war

JoJo, winner of the bad sunglasses war

We want to thank everyone who came out to the record release party at The Brick this past weekend and also to the folks in Ellsworth, KS at the Rods, Ribs, and Rock festival for having us on Saturday. There was a great crowd, and lots of tasty food!
On the way to the show, Eric Tweeted a “bad sunglasses war” between band members on the road. People from all over the country weighed in over the next couple hours and JoJo was declared the winner with his awful yellow wraparound shades. JoJo is swelling with pride right now. (At least I think that’s pride.) Here’s some more pictures: (more…)

As most of you hopefully know, we’ll be throwing a CD release in Kansas City this Friday (well, tomorrow, actually) May 15th at the Brick. Tim Finn at the Kansas City Star did a sweet little write-up about it–check it out HERE.

This is what he said:

DEAD GIRLS RISE AGAIN WITH NEW EP

One of our area’s ultimate pop bands is throwing a Kansas City release party for its latest project.

On Friday night, the Dead Girls (who used to be Dead Girls Ruin Everything) will officially present “Te Quiero,” the second six-track EP the band has released this year. The other: “Hair Trigger,” came out in February.

The Dead Girls - Te Quiero EP

te quiero dead girls ep

Kansas City’s weekly culture rag The Pitch has just reviewed our newest EP release. We’ll be playing our KC EP release party Friday night May 15 at The Brick. Come check it out–we’ll be playing stuff from both EPs and the upcoming full-length! Here’s the review from The Pitch:

After recording 16 studio tracks and a bunch of acoustic-oriented home tracks, Lawrence’s the Dead Girls (formerly Dead Girls Ruin Everything) decided to hold off on a full-length and hype up their eventual album with three EPs. Te Quiero is the second installment of the EP series, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do: Build excitement. The title track (the only EP cut that will eventually land on the album) is the group’s catchiest to date; no small feat given the group’s hook-packed set lists. You’ll likely find yourself humming the chorus, Te quiero/Hope I said that right, or perhaps hearing echoes of Brendan Benson or Jason Falkner when the guitar hook kicks in. (more…)
