Bio
.. In 2000 we built a band and started writing, rehearsing and recording songs. We called the completed album ....12..... You can listen to it and purchase it ....here.... or at ..Apple iTunes.., ..Napster.., ..MSN Music.., ..Sony Connect.., ..GreatIndieMusic.. or ..Emusic... You can read about how it happened ....here..... .. .. .. In 2005 we started recording the follow-up, ....Sleepnovox..... The album is now available ....here.... or at ..Apple iTunes.., ..Napster.., ..MSN Music.., ..Sony Connect.., ..GreatIndieMusic.. or ..Emusic... You can read about how it happened ....here..... .. .. .. We've grey-scaled or done funny things with the colors of the pictures to make us appear less mortal. We've only posted portions of the songs to make them appear more interesting. If you've bothered to read this far then we should be congratulated on the success of our strategy. .. ..All vintage guitars used in GFS recordings from ..VintAxe.com.... .. ..Vintage photographs for artwork from ..GoGoMag.com.... .. ..Amazon.com Reviews of "12".. .. Reviewer: Graeme Walker (Ontario, Canada).. With its swift tempo, mood and style changes throughout, Girl For Samson's debut CD is a nice little diamond in the current 'mine full of dirt' that is the music industry. GFS seem to capture the fun spirit of 60's and 80's rock with their tuneful hooks, and brave exploration of eclectic musical styles. Not everything works but when it does - it's very cool. 'Peteena', 'Always' and 'Noggin/ Babble' all grabbed me right away with their catchy refrains. I dare anyone to listen to this Cd and not find themselves humming 'Noggin' the next day.... Positively not mainstream but definitely worth a listen or 12. .. Reviewer: Ash Can (Arkansas).. Girl for Samson offers a refreshing drink in a parched landsape with "12." The shadow in the lyrics and musical patterns will cling to you long after you've turned it off and you'll hear something new the next time you play it. Fantastic effort by this KC band. .. Reviewer: Eric Simmons (New York).. ...when these guys are on, they're matching wits with "the white album" and "midnight vultures." strident.
