Gaygirl
Ahead of Gaygirl’s gig at The Jacaranda this week, Getintothis’ Lewis Ridley asks the band 13 questions.
South London outfit Gaygirl are currently in the midst of a UK tour, following the release of their latest single Hair last week.
Their currency is dark, melodic pop, and since forming the four piece have played with the likes of Shame, Maddonatron and Sorry.
A popular outfit in London, they are fronted by Bex Morrison and met in the capital despite ailing from different parts of the south of England.
Their influences range from grunge to 90s noise pop and their debut single, 2017’s Dance To Death set out their stall for the dark sounds that were to come on their EP.
Hair, however, drifts at some stages towards a shoegaze, delicate interpretation of their wide ranging inspiration, exploring empty statements of self-love to create a raw, subverted track.
- Gaygirl will play The Jacaranda this Monday, June 24.
