There’s A New Song By “The Morning After Girls”

Posted in Music with tags on July 24, 2008 by johnbuckley100

The Morning After Girls are showing signs of life.  New song posted on their MySpace pages.  Great guitar sound, high production quality, vocals strong in a Stone Rosey way.  Hey guys — I mean, girls — can we hear some more please?

UPDATE: So “Who Is They” begins with the same ominous noises as an episode of “Lost,” and ends with a controlled version of the orchestral crash of “A Day In The Life.”  In between are pretty harmony vocals, a brightly picked repeating riff  —  think of Noel Gallagher’s guitar intro to “A Bell Will Ring” — that builds gloriously.  There are a lot of late ’80s/early ’90s bands that come to mind — good ones, like House of Love.  Very powerful.  Which means whatever Sacha and the boys, er, Girls have been up to is good.  The sooner they get it out there, the better, for The Morning After Girl’s “Prelude EPs 1 & 2” was no proper debut.  Magnificent sounding, and put together at LP length, two EP’s stitched together does not a freshman outing make.  C’mon, guys — putting “Who Is They” up has tantalized us.  We want more.

Some Morning After Girls Are Now the black ryder

From the same tipsters that told Tulip Frenzy that Sacha of the Morning After Girls was in New York mastering the band’s new album comes word that Aimee and Scott, having left the MAG, are now in a band called the black ryder.  See links below.  Some good songs on their MySpace page. They sound a lot like the Warlocks, and lo and behold, see who their friends are: the Warlocks, the Dandys, BJM, Spaceman 3, etc.  No album or downloadable songs yet in the States, but watch this space.

It’s The Morning After, Where Are The Morning After Girls?

Posted in Music with tags , , , , , on April 23, 2008 by johnbuckley100

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.
