THE JUNES are a country swing supergroup formed in the wake of GIT and
THE TOE SUCKING COWGIRLS, two of the finest female fronted bands in
the land. Barely containing the talents of Sarah Carroll, Suzannah
Espie and Gleny Rae Virus, THE JUNES write, sing and play with all
the skill and style of their combined years in the business. These
gals may travel around the country and around the world in other
guises, singing other songs, but when THE JUNES get together, a cone
of country power is raised wherever they are, and audiences are drawn
to it like moths to a flame........ helpless in the spell of the
harmonies, the swing, and the sight of these beautiful women.
THE JUNES COLLECTION, our first recording, is available for sale as of next Wednesday, June 25, right here. See the links to Paypal and our very good friends at THE LAST RECORD STORE. The EP features four original Junes tunes, one beautiful Spanish love ballad and a fantastic bluegrass/old-time workout to finish. We are very proud of it! You can hear songs from it here too. Enjoy...we sure as hell did!
The Junes recently appeared on Spicks and Specks playing the mystery tunes in the segment known as "Look what they did to my song"!
