I saw Teengirl Fantasy recently at Vassar with These Are Powers and Telepathe. They played to a room full of college kids who had never heard them before and totally killed it. What struck me about it was that although the sort of music they play is typically performed on computers, they use old samplers and play them live which makes the whole experience much more interactive. I've never found it particularly interesting to watch someone play their laptop, how do I know they aren't just checking their email?
I asked them to say something about their band and I am pleased that this is what they had to say:
"Sometimes when I close my eyes I picture a club far away where there is free piña coladas. People are happy and no one can hurt me, not even myself. Suddenly a glitter ball light starts pulsating out of a cube that appeared out of the ocean. It slowly walked towards me and asked me to dance. I figured, why not? The night grew into a sunrise, I sat on a rooftop and cried while falling asleep, but with a glimmer of a smile on my face. It was possibly the most beautiful club I'd ever been to. The pulsating ball of light was called Teengirl Fantasy."
I will be releasing a single for them at some point in the not too distant future so keep yours eyes peeled for that. They are recording direct to tape so I have a feeling it is going to sound cool.
Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, Teengirl Fantasy.
