New blog on the Indie Pop Alliance Show

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Hey everyone,

A little JoJo action...

A little JoJo action...

A blog site called Too Much Rock posted a few words and photos to represent the killer time we all had last Friday at Crosstown Station in KCMO. Check out the entire show review here, or our section after the break:

Dead Girls (for those who aren’t locals) are a Kansas City foursome built from the guitarists/vocalists of Podstar and the rhythm section of Ultimate Fakebook. The band is a textbook definition of power pop, and like others in the genre, owes everything to Cheap Trick and Big Star. The band holds no delusions there. For 50 minutes this foursome owned the stage, exuding enough energy to feed a packed arena, but all the while still maintaining a laid back and informal atmosphere …

Dead Girls Concert Review; live @ the Replay!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
live at the Replay

live at the Replay

The Dead Girls pulled off another successful show last night at the Replay with our dear friend Lonnie Fisher and the fantastically dressed Hot Toddies. Abbie Stutzer of the Pitch came out and reviewed it. She had this to say:

“After seeing Cameron Hawk (guitar, vocals), Nick Colby (bass), JoJo Longbottom (guitar, vocals) and Eric Melin (drums) play, I can without a doubt state that they are remarkable musicians. The Girls’ drums and bass rang with metronomic precision, and their guitars and vocals swung with harmonious perfection.”

Read the full review here.

Kind words from the Pitch. She even called Hawks a “bird of prey”, which I found to be hilariously awesome! We want to thank everyone who came out, and if you have not had a chance to hear our new record or new songs, come check us out at the Crosstown Station this Friday night!
