Local Girls

LOCAL GIRLS PRESS RELEASE 24 09 08 4 hand picked from a bunch of indie pop wannabes, their disillusioned road crew and loyal fan base by a member of the music industry elite: 7 name changes, a £10,000 expense account & a failed press junket to the far east later, the arse falls out of the music industry. With the sound of a bullet ricochetting off their ex-manager’s skull still fresh in the ears of a traumatised typing pool the unnamed band repaired to the less fashionable end of London to choose the name Local Girls rip off the best bits of the B52s, Ramones & Adam’s Original Ants.
