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"
