Girls vs. Boys is a battle of the sexes via indie punk-pop-rock music...
two female-fronted bands vs. two male-fronted bands. The battle is judged
American Idol-style by local celebrity judges. On August 17th, it's a Girls
vs. Boys re-match! The Defending Champion Girls Team returns to take on
two new "boy bands". This time around, the bands will win prizes from
sponsors including Guitar & Bass Boutique, Drummer's World,
HurryDate and K.E. Haas Salon.
BOYS TEAM:
THE OGGS
http://www.theoggsrock.com
In between solving their Rubik's cube and messing around on MySpace,
The Oggs found the time to produce "radiotherapy." - an intense and honest
11 song diary of rock 'n roll whimsy. Kill the lights, kill the radio, and
set aside 36 minutes and 20 seconds of therapy time with The Oggs.
THE DOPES
http://www.thedopesnyc.com
The Dopes serve up a rawly entertaining slab of energetic
New York brat-rock that has its sonic roots in the raucous glory days
of the Dead Boys, Pistols, Heartbreakers, and New York Dolls.
GIRLS TEAM:
THE DOMESTICS
http://www.thedomestics.com
If Debbie Harry shoved her way onstage during a Green Day
show, the sound would closely resemble The Domestics. Retaining
their punk edge, this female-fronted four-piece from Brooklyn
churns out carefully crafted power pop songs.
THE MARIANNE PILLSBURYS
http://www.mariannepillsbury.com
The Marianne Pillsburys play punky pop-rock with cleverly-crafted,
hook-laden melodies and brash, witty, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Think: Liz
Phair and Juliana Hatfield take a raucous road trip, picking up
hitchhiking members of The Pixies and Elastica along the way.
