RIP JR. These people made beautiful music. It's like 14 years later and it still gives me the same rush with the added punch of nostalgia. Amazing songs. I'm just glad I was able to discover them and will listen them for the rest of my life
Also this performance of "Alright" fucking rocks - This line up in general with John Anderson and Garett Goddard rocks; glad to see John Anderson playing on Christopher's new album too.
^false "I added it up once and something like 21 people had played in Girls, over two albums and one EP. That’s extremely frustrating and doesn’t really show that there ever really was a band, in my mind. It’s not anybody’s fault; it’s just the way it worked out. The anticipation for live shows and for us to be a band was so big and went so fast that that was the only way that we could do it. We could never spend the time to make a band, and that was a bit of a mistake, in hindsight.” - christopher owens Also, JR is more of a producer than a bassist and that's what he wanted to do and is doing now. I think their lives were just going different directions.
That debut album is one of the best indie records ever great music
RIP JR... The times I met him he was a super nice/funny dude. Sidenote: Gary on drums in this is awesome (he hasn't aged a bit)
WHATT he passed away?! oh my gosh
Officially the end of an era. RIP JR
RIP JR. Found this video after reading about him earlier today.
Legendary band. Two perfect LPs, and one perfect EP.
Word
So true. All three releases are classics.

Still listening! All 3 of Girl’ releases are perfect to me. Such emotionally rich druggy songs!!
Never knew about Girls until tonight and found them through a Lawrence interview. Shocked and saddened about the big man on the bass. This is GOOD!
Why did this take 5 years to be uploaded? Quality shit like this needs to be heard by people ASAP
That rickenbacker strat pairing is incredible
Daaaaaamn.. how is this set so criminally under-liked ?! It's absolutely magnificent : ) I really miss Girls..

john anderson is the man
what a band......
Man, I ve listened to a lot of bands, but Girls is really the band that I keep listening to, because the vibe is just too awesome
Can't believe this is 10 years old.
The original line up. nice to see it, thx for sharing the upload, long time coming.

The original title is Alright, not "Driving Me Insane"; btw great upload, thanks

Driving Me Insane is ALRIGHT :)
Best song on the Broken Dreams Club EP and a killer performance of it here.

yeah your right and they were also both herion addicts and chris wanted to move on and not do herion, and thus me saying he was over it
substance is literally a song about their addiction...you can read articles on this
Wrong key.
