If you like your rock and roll fun, sweaty, and full of good-time party imagery, look no further than NYC’s the Virgins. Coming off as a funkier, groove-ladden Strokes, the Virgins are all about the good times and aren’t afraid to sing about it. With songs like “Private Affair,” “One Week of Danger,” and the “Gossip Girl-”featured “Rich Girls,” the quartet boast fun times via singer Donald Cumming and the sweetest bass lines of today’s so-called “it” bands a la Nick Ackerman. Those who want “music” and “good times” to be experienced simultaneously should direct their attention to the Virgins because these guys don’t hold back the festivities.
The Virgins play The Annex in Madison on Tuesday, February 3rd. Tickets are $10 and Lissy Trullie + Anya Marina support.

Recently got the Virgins record, definitely like what I hear. Seeing them would be really cool, especially at a venue that I have yet to attend a show at.

I would love to see the Virgins, I bet they’d be fun as hell in concert.

WUD Music booked The Virgins as an opener for Ra Ra Riot last February at Club 770 and there were middle schoolers at the show. That’s some far reaching PR work.

Oh, and if anybody wants to hear the original version of “Rich Girls,” circa 2007, check out my link in this post (should’ve done so in my initial message).
