Like a cool bottle of Gatorade during a hangover, Early Girl quenches your deepest of girl rock thirsts with their punchy, heartfelt lyrics and a stage show that makes you feel like you're drunk at your best friend's wedding reception and you can't stop dancing. Despite not having yet released a full length album, this Cleveland-based quartet have captured the hearts and shaken the rumps of the
indiefolk and queer alike all over the Heart-of-it-all state of Ohio.
The royal lineage of the Early Girl family consists of 4 riot grrrl superheros: the siren-tongued songstress Angelisa Crognale, who plays the guitar more like a power tool than an instrument; all around badass Laura Ackerman, whose finger blasting bass lines resonate harder than the vibrations from a new Hitachi magic wand; musician magician Steph Burke who rips up the licks on electric guitar; and drummer Becky McMahon who has an army of seductive dance beats that have foot tapping effects reminiscent of the time you took too many caffeine pills before a midterm. Their combined powers create a hypnotic rainbow gaydar laser that lures hordes of lefties, artists, and queers out to the gay bars and indie dives to watch the magic happen.
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and every body's glad you're gay. Let Early Girl supply the soundtrack to your Cheers fantasy- you supply the beer and that little dance you do at shows when you're inspired by an infectious groove.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there is a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There is also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
