"Record, release, tour. Rinse, repeat. All while trying to have fun doing so."
With their residency at The Workers Club, Golden Girls are happily biased in support of fellow resident-mates when it comes to bands who influence their own sad, sexy sound. "Shouse, Various Asses, Holy Balm, Habits, OCTANDAR, Time for Dreams, NGHTWRK. Most of these are playing at our residency so maybe a bit biased. Internationally I think we each have our own things that we bring, like a lot of bass music, '90s dance, dub, Enya. All the things," explains guitarist Tim Mcneill.
The three-piece "formed in the winter of 2014 with a handful of poetry, some skeletal beats and Paris, Texas-style reverb guitar playing small intimate venues, eventually building our sound and adding pieces to the puzzle, which lead to the release of our EP Golden Hour last summer." They've squashed in a bunch of gigs and recording in the last two years: "Recording our EP with Josh [Delaney] at Smooch Records, the subsequent launch at Boney last winter, playing with Total Giovanni, Sampa The Great, Smile, Time For Dreams. Camp Casual morning forest set, too many so far - hopefully more to come!" Mcneill lists. And there's plenty to come, with the band "finishing the tracks we are working on at the moment. Record, release, tour. Rinse, repeat. All while trying to have fun doing so," he laughs.
