Bio
.... .. ........ .. ....Scatological, goofy and gender-fucked, Lovely Little Girls somehow hit at a perfect balance between pretentious-as-hell art-faggotry and hilarious self-deprecation. -..BLASTITUDE.COM...... .. Lovely Little Girls started in August of 2001 as a one-off performance piece by artist/performer Gregory Jacobsen. The performance was an attempt to convert his sound and noise based absurdist performance group Ritualistic School Of Errors into a dissonant minimalist rock band of synths and drums that would leave a wide open space for his syllable-stuffed cut-and-paste prose and confrontational contortionist interpretive dancing. .. Since then the group has gone through many changes with Jacobsen providing the aesthetic thread that runs through all stages of the group's history. Using Jacobsen's grotesque paintings as a basis for ideas, Lovely Little Girls craft songs of ridiculous simplicity that morph into nose-fornicating forays of dissonance and odd stumble-down-the-stairs-timing. Performance and concept has always been a large part of the group- either by staging horrendous fanfares or writing musical parts that depend on a theatrical playing. .. The current incarnation of Lovely Little Girls features Mike Kendrick (Rope), Doug Abram (Black Bear Combo), Zack Weil and Alex Perkolup (Flying Luttenbachers, Cheer-Accident, Bobby Conn). The line-up culls many influences from No-Wave, Rock-In-Opposition, Zeuhl, 80s Thrash Metal, Childrens' Music, Punk, Kurt Weill, 20th Century Classical and the art-damaged theatrics of The Residents... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .......... .. ..We now have a theatrical, RIO-inspired Zolo group in the USA. The Lovely Little Girls meet the 20-year cycle head-on with a fantastically Euro-styled art rock cabaret that wouldn’t be out of place on Rec-Rec. Their sound and their playing are spot on. The imagery is a little dark for my tastes, but they can look however they like as long as they keep making this music..... ..-Zoloscope blog.. .. ..Gregory Jacobsen's group Lovely Little Girls were superb...Their crazed crossbreeding of Brechtian narrative menace and Zappa/zuehl theatrics was a bracing rejoinder to just about anything you'd care to name....... ..-Tom Smith of To Live & Shave In LA.... .. .. .. .. ..
