Who is SHIRAGIRL? A punk rock princess armed with pink hair-dye, tutus and a microphone? That may be what you catch at first glance, however once you take a deeper look you’ll see the truth behind SHIRAGIRL: talent, a no fear attitude, and overconfident, shameless self-promotion.

SHIRAGIRL isn’t just a band—it’s a revolution. Staking a claim in the punk rock boys club, SHIRAGIRL have ambushed the scene and are carrying the femme flag with them.

SHIRAGIRL, the electro-punk-pop four-piece is the brainchild of front woman and Jersey girl SHIRA. This all-girl powerhouse band has discovered the antidote for the glossed over, fabricated “music for the masses” epidemic that has been plaguing the music industry. SHIRAGIRL'S music channels influences by artists across the musical spectrum, from Sublime to Madonna to Bikini Kill. Hyperactive Music Mag instructively labeled their music “A vagina monologues for the tattooed, pierced and fierce.” If their album “Not Sold in Stores” doesn’t have you hosting a feminist rally, throwing your TV out the window and dancing your ass off, their live performance will. Although their songs are catchy as hell, SHIRAGIRL takes a stand in their lyrics speaking out against injustices, conformity, politics and life outside the box all the while creating a sound that breaks down genre walls. SHIRAGIRL makes a statement, a difference, not just an appearance on TRL.

SHIRAGIRL'S stage show—filled with sexy antics and forceful, aggressive lyrics—thrusts against their hook-drenched music and commands instant attention. You may go to the show to check out the band, but before you know it, you’ve got your fist in the air shouting “GO GO GO!” You are now part of the Shiragirl movement.

SHIRAGIRL boasts DIY none seen better then their very own hand-painted, signature pink RV and Shiragirl mobile stage truck—hand-built and customized for touring, with a swing-down side that is used for a stage platform. 2004 Warped Tour LA marked the beginning of revolution when SHIRAGIRL crashed the Vans Warped Tour a stunt never before accomplished. Parking the pink beast inside the venue gates caused chaotic crowds to instantly bombard their stage. Instead of getting kicked out, they were invited back the following year and created the first ever all-girl stage at Warped Tour. In the summer of 2005, the girls built the SHIRAGIRL Stage and used it to showcase over one hundred unsigned female-fronted bands from all over the US and Canada, winning them the MTV Warpie Award for “most punk rock way to win a place in the in family.” This year they will launch the GRITTY IN PINK TOUR, to bring the pink stage to even more girl rock starved destinations.

The SHIRAGIRL movement spreads further then just being Warped. Their friend and producer Tim Armstrong of Rancid/Transplants invited Shira on stage to perform with the Transplants last summer. Shira didn’t bother waiting for an invite at a Peaches show- she just hopped up on stage and started dancing. She has also shared the stage with punk rock heroes NOFX, Rancid and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, performing special guest spots and musical collaborations.

A SHIRAGIRL does not need approval from anyone to voice her opinion, to dance on (or climb) YOUR stage, or to express herself in any way deemed necessary. SHIRAGIRL will not only demand your undivided attention, but will get it. SHIRAGIRL will NOT take “no” for an answer.
