ABOUT GIRLS
Guilty About Girls is the latest
formation of former Pure members Jordy Birch
and Mark Henning. Though the two had
not worked together since 1995, they found a very comfortable
and productive session turned into a new band, with
the first EP being released on October 1st, 2008.
Birch
and Henning were both founding members of 90's alternative
rock group Pure. Together they released two albums and
one ep, however "creative differences" lead
to Henning leaving the band in 1994. Birch continued
on to release two more albums until suspending Pure
in 2000, then released a solo album, The Fun Machine
(Virgin Canada) in 2002, which garnered the top 10 single
Moola Moola.
Henning
had departed from Pure after a final performance at
the Starfish Room on new year’s eve 1995. He formed
the short lived power pop group Blisterene which was
disbanded in 1998 after the departure of drummer Tariq
Khan. Focusing on studio work for the next decade he
engineered many local Vancouver bands until 2005 when
he turned his focus to his own music again in the duo
Combine the Victorious.
In
the summer of 2007 Jordy and Mark tried their hand at
playing together again, joined by Lucas T Poth
on drums. The experiment led to them recording a set
of 2 minute indie pop songs and they began performing
around Vancouver in the spring of '08. The first songs
from those sessions, recorded in Henning’s home
studio (Imagined Aire Studio) were collected together
for the debut release from Guilty About Girls: EP1.
The song Karaoke With Me was selected as track of the
Day on the CBC Radio 3 podcast, while the others have
all been closely considered for music licensing deals.
Birch
and Henning have completed a follow up collection titled
“VRGN ANGL MTRL LUV”. A
departure from EP1, the new songs represent something
closer to “grunge house” than indie rock.
Expect
the second release May 5th 2009 on the Boutique Empire
label.
