So last night the Broad Street Bullies downed our Caps in game 7 of the Stanley Cup preliminaries. And let’s not talk about the Pennsylvania primary. It’s the morning after, but where, oh where are The Morning After Girls?
Their website’s last entry is from June of last year. There’s a reference to a new album, but where is it? Where are they?
Based on the only music released stateside, the spectacular “Prelude EPs 1&2,” here’s what we know. They’re not girls, they’re (mostly) boys, they live in Sidney, and sonic data reveals that for them, it’s always New Years Morning 1990 — or maybe 1996. We hear references to the Pixies, the Stone Roses, the Charlatans U.K., the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and the Dandys. Pretty good company to keep.
It’s time they resurfaced. Please don’t post a note telling me they’ve broken up. Or plunged off that bridge into Sydney Harbor. Or were eaten by wallabies. I couldn’t take it. Not on this morning after.
UPDATE: See comment below. The Morning After Girls are sufficiently alive and well to be finishing up a new album. Tulip Frenzy asks, and get answers… Yippee.
