   About the girls of summer

the girls of summer are a band from cork, formed by ronan leonard many years ago. the band is made up of an ever changing groups of musicians. Currently they are a six piece band, they release their next new EP on April 18.

the hard bit is, of course, to try and describe what 6 people do with instruments and voices by writing it down. the songs come are written from a very personal approach (some say "uncomfortable", other says "emotional", a minority say very little but seem to like it very much). I suppose just listen to what we've up on the music player thing and you can make up your own mind. feedback would be appreciated.

Yo thegirlsofsummer,

Sorry bout the group mail (despite your name being cunningly added into the first line. How did I do that?)

Anyways, stuck up some new recordings of songs we did in the album session in Electrical Audio. None of the songs are mastered yet and there are a couple of tweaks here and there to be done but I thought I"d stick em up so you could get a listen before the album is released.

I"m gonna rotate the songs on an as unyet decided basis (weekly, biweekly, triweekly even??) and include songs that didn"t make the final cut. Watch out for them...

The songs up now are There You Stand, This Is How We Play and Home.

Let me know what you think!!

cheers,
Pinky.
