r a d i o

upon checking the frenchgirls email account earlier today, our (excellent) percussionist thom discovered that one of our tracks had been broadcast on bbc radio leeds.
we missed it so you did too, but don't worry! we've got a link to the show so y'all can listen to CATWALK if you really wanna.
the quality is not perfect, but once we release it proper it'll sound a lot better, trust. for now it'll do, especially as we've never had radio play before.
naturally, of the two songs we submitted to bbc introducing they chose to play the one that isn't an upcoming single, but that works out very well for you lot because you get double the fr3nchgirls... and you know what they say, two frenchgirls songs are better than one frenchgirls song (unless the one song is etra and the other two are our shite ones, like youth).
so yeah, for now you have catwalk, and soon you'll gave something else too.
speaking of which, keep ur eyes peeled for a super cool announcement coming in the next week or so..........

double denim trouble denim

so on september 25th we're gonna be playing our third show with Mick and Chantel AKA Double Denim Live, downstairs at the verve bar in leeds. we like them, they like us, and it's a pleasure to play for them again as always.
support comes from some great local bands like Julia, Arshall Marts and Wetpaintt, so basically the lineup is stacked as fxck and you're gonna have a banging time.
we'll probs be on at like 11 but who knows, you should come down early anyway and catch everybody just to be on the safe side. plus if you come super early (i.e. be one of the first 30 there) you can get yourself a free shot of tequila. 
so come on down, we'll be a few tequila shots in ourselves, and hopefully it'll be a killer show.

who knows, we might actually have written a new tune by then

BIG SHOUTS 2

kit clark, in a colourful t shirt

BIG SHOUTS this time go to half of our backbeat and frenchgirls' resident black t shirt wearer KIT CLARK.
the kidda's turned 17 today, so if you see him around give him a happy thump for us. he'll be wearing some shitty metal band t shirt (black), a snapback (black) and probably some jeans (black), despite this blistering weather.
for those who have never seen him because we hide him away at the back of the stage, we've included a handy picture for reference.
make the most of him while you can, we're replacing him with a drum machine next week.

art/music/culture/clingfilm

being spread out across europe hasn't stopped the frenchgirls from talking. we've been thinking long and hard about all the things we need to do in the next couple of months, before we can share with you all the fruits of our labours.
we've got artwork to design, a couple of gigs to play, even more gigs to book/finalise (including, maybe, girls night 2), a studio to get back into, new songs to finish and even a cheeky lil music vidya to shoot.
with any luck, all of these things will turn out great, and not doom us to being a sucky teenage indie band forever.

as ever, much love, see you when we next remember to update this bl0g xox


(i'm not sure what's going on in this picture. ben just sent it to us all out of the blue... maybe it's some idea for a new artistic direction, or a potential album cover, but who can really tell.)
