Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville

15 years ago Liz Phair released Exile in Guyville, her song for song answer to The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. 6 years ago the awesome web site Three Imaginary Girls launched. Celebrate both anniversaries at the Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville bash Wednesday night at Chop Suey.

Here are the details TIG provided:

The night will features the songs from Liz Phair's debut record "Exile in Guyville" as interpreted by some of the best up-and-coming bands in the Northwest, including Throw Me the Statue, Team Gina, Star Anna, Tennis Pro, Lucy Bland, M. Bison, Tea Cozies, as well as special performances by Rachel Flotard of Visqueen and Lesli Wood of Ms. Led. The bands will perform the record in order, from "6'1"" to "Strange Loop" and everything in-between.

The night marks the 15th anniversary re-release of the record, as well as the sixth birthday of Three Imaginary Girls, and is co- sponsored by Easy Street Records, Seattle Sound Magazine, and 90.3 KEXP.

Team Gina - Rock the Like

I love this new video from Team Gina that Ashley Graham of WigPR sent to me. Team Gina aren’t what I’d call “power pop” but they are from Seattle (notice all the Seattle landmarks prominently featured in the video) and they are a lot of fun and they are pretty poppy and pretty powerful too.

Here’s Ashley’s note:
As anticipation builds for the release of TEAM GINA's debut full-length album on Don't Stop Believin' Records, Products of the '80s, we've got braaaaand new amazingness for you in the form of their video for the album's single "Rock the Like"!



TEAM GINA will be releasing Products of the '80s on Tuesday, June 17 at the War Room at 9pm with guests from Portland, Alphabetix!
