In 2006, Christopher Owens and Liza Thorn began a music project called Curls, which dissolved itself when Liza decided to focus more on her new band, BRIDEZ. Not to be dissuaded, Owens recruited San Francisco’s infamous ladykiller Chet “JR” White to join him and changed the band’s name to Girls.
Owens was formerly a member of Holy Shit with Ariel Pink. Being raised in a cult where “pop music was banned, women sold themselves for sex and several members were driven to suicide… the Girls’ singer’s life seems to have been a blur of prescription drugs (fentanyl patches are his favourite), punk rock shows and art happenings.” (NME) All of which has deeply inspired and informed the music the band make.
Their debut, ‘Album’ was released in September 2009, through True Panther Sounds and has received wide critical acclaim - notably from NME, in the UK. In 2012, Christopher announced on his Twitter account that he was leaving the band for personal reasons.
