All this noise is made by one dude, no way! Matthew Vlahovich aka Golden Girls, taps
into a confusing mix of Robert Smith-like vocals, a range of bouncy
electro beats and delicious synth-coated power pop. It’s confusing
because this type of music normally attracts tweenage girls, but
Vlahovich’s lyrical content is a little bit too explicit for adolescent
ears, tailored more towards horny teenagers on E. XOXO is a
total party, albeit a very short one. Only one song breaches the three
minute mark, final track ‘The Big League’, which is well known in
Canada for featuring on the hit television show Tout Le Monde En Parle. The aptly titled ‘Hot Sex’ has also enjoyed time on television, it features in the porn film Artistic Fucking by Brooklyn indie porn company Burning Angel. All five songs have a totally unpretentious pop
vibe, you just have to avoid taking them too seriously. Even if you
think you’ve heard this sound before it’s worth turning a blind eye.
Yes, ‘Asian Kids’ does sound a lot like Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head
and yes, Vlahovich does sound a lot like Robert Smith. But imagine
Smith laughing at himself instead of frowning in misery, or imagine the
grim reaper standing behind his keyboard jumping up and down and
throwing glitter into the crowd. XOXO isn’t meant to be
over-analysed, it’s about having fun any which way possible, even if
that fun requires being naked in the bedroom.

http://www.snobsmusic.net/2009/07/goldengirls-xoxo-ep-review.html XoXo is the forthcoming EP release from Toronto-based indie dance rock group GoldenGirls.
The
band create booty-shaking synth-heavy new wave with a decidedly '80s
flare (in fact "The Big League" is reminiscent of New Order's "Regret"
while "Hot Sex" has a Cure aura). Added to the mix is a punk rock
bravado that gives the entire thing a turbo-charged kick in the ass.
The
tracks are highly sexually charged, a la CSS. However, the songs are so
catchy that you tend to forget what they are about. When you finally
realize you can't help but feel you're grooving along constitutes
something naughty.
Don't worry about dirty dancing with these GoldenGirls, there's no Bea Arthur among this crowd.
GoldenGirls have a few Toronto shows coming up: Ourspace, July 9th Tranzac, July 24th The Boat, July 31st
Best tracks: "Hot Sex", "The Big League"
Track listing for XoXo: Do The Criminal Hot Sex Dance With Me Asian Kids The Big League
7.5/10

With the first single off an EP called XoXo (set for April release), "Do The Criminal", the Canadian young man who calls himself GoldenGirls creates the sort of hyped up, minimal, pogo-inspiring synthpop that brings out the listener's love of casio hums and the glee of teenage innocence. Combine that with nearly-stock effects and so-repetitious-you-can't-not-find-them-catchy drums, and you get a formula that's so immensely easy to like and terrifyingly hard to be snarky about, your friends here at THE CULTURE OF ME are 100% expecting certain nothing-good-to-say naysayers' imminent head explosions. And to push the lever all the way to overload, here are two similarly infectious, slightly more nuanced remixes: a 4/4 bang version from Mr Vega and what could qualify as the most friendly punk rock treatment ever from Designer Drugs.

I'm being admitted to the hospital this morning. It looks like they might have to remove my appendix. Wish me luck!
