Girls - What's In My Bag?

For the full list of their picks, visit: http://www.amoeba.com/whats-in-my-bag/index.html#/detail/2009-12-07_girls

San Francisco band Girls is Christopher Owens and JR White. Christopher and JR met in San Francisco and quickly decided to make music together. They eventually became roommates and began recording in their bedrooms, using reel-to-reel tape and an old computer. Combining Christopher's simple and heartfelt lyrics with JR's production, they drew from '60s jangly pop, '50s surfer music, and their love of rock 'n' roll to create a California indie pop record all their own. Their debut, Album, was released on September 22, 2009. Self-described as "honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious and perfect," Album also includes a seven-minute track called "Hellhole Ratrace" that was rated by Pitchfork as "one of the 100 best songs of the year."

I think someone wrote under another Girls related video that Christopher Owens' face makes them happy. For some weird reason I agree with that .
