3 worlds collided when an English heart-throb columnist came to meet JoJo and his brother Jon (aka Joe Joe & Johnny) at a bar tucked away in the center of Valencia, Spain during the World Cup match between the US and the heavily favored Brits of England. Somewhere amidst the swilling of quadruple whiskeys, drunken national anthems, and the sweet seranades of “A Candle in the Wind” to the pissed off Englishmen (following the unexpected draw between the two teams), she got an idea for her newest column. Check out “An English Girl in Spain” and her impressions of Americans (a scary thought when being based on the likes of any member of the Dead Girls) and Spanish comradery.

Thursday, April 1st, 2010
The first review of the album is in!
Three songs from the album are streaming there as well!
Pete Dulin from PresentMagazine.com writes:
“Once again, The Dead Girls produce material on Out of Earshot that is catchy and polished, full of clean production, solid arrangements, and vocals that can clearly be heard, felt, and considered for their emotional impact. Consistently, their songs offer exuberant power pop and tenderhearted rock bravado within the space of three to four minutes.”

Dead Girls rock with Thieves and Generationals for a good cause
Friday, January 29th, 2010
The JayDoc free health clinic in Kansas City rules. It’s as simple as that.
Last year, Ultimate Fakebook rocked the Uptown Theater for the JayRock benefit with The Republic Tigers, and this year its The Dead Girls.
On February 12 at the Uptown Theater, we’ll be playing with two awesome bands, New Orleans’ Generationals and KC rockers Thieves.
We’ll be playing lots of new songs from our upcoming 2010 LP “Out of Earshot” (we swear it’s coming out in two months!) and we’ll be raising money for a great cause.
Together, rock will do what the politicians cannot seem to do and help provide free healthcare for people in KC who really need it. The show starts at 7pm and it will be the coolest thing you’ll do all month. Come out and say “hi”!
Here’s the link to buy tickets and to the Facebook event page. The JayRock Twitter account is here. Spread the word. Invite everyone you know and we’ll see you there!
Brand new song featuring Justin Pierre from Motion City Soundtrack!
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Justin Pierre from Motion City Soundtrack
Why, you may ask?
Why not? We decided to try and write and record a song from the ground up in five hours and that’s exactly what we did.
J.D. Warnock in The Dead Girls' basement studio
After arranging a couple of riffs, everybody instinctively worked together assemble the pieces into a song. After one live take, Justin and Cameron wrote some quickie lyrics and recorded vocal parts. Add a little Warnock backup sauce, and we’re good to go. Squire did an amazing job making it NOT sound like it was recorded in a basement, and we were good to go. Since we don’t really know what to do with it, we’ll just out it here for you to listen to for now. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
