About the Artist

The Girls were there at the beginning. For a few short years, they were undoubtedly one of the most exciting and experimental bands performing in the Boston punk scene. Combining delirious live performances, raw sound and Duchampian art-world smarts, The Girls walked an aesthetic tightrope between pop music and sonic chaos. Those who actually saw them either loved them or hated them; their live performances offered no middle ground.

During their brief existence, The Girls released only one recording, Jeffrey I Hear You/The Elephant Man, a 7" on Pere Ubu's Hearthan label. Twenty-five years after the fact, Abaton Book Company is pleased to present "Live at the Rathskeller," one of the most essential missing links between late 70s punk and post-punk.

Product Description

"The Girls - Live at the Rathskeller" was digitally remastered by Elliott Sharp. The album features an eight-panel folding insert that includes numerous unpublished photographs, a performance chronology and copious liner notes by Byron Coley.
