I just couldn’t resist heading over to The Stud last night – one of  San Francisco’s oldest and most legendary queer establishments – to see our hometown heros Girls play.  It was a rare opportunity for me to a) have an excuse to patronage the joint and b) see one of my favorite bands play a most unconventional venue and c) enjoy a little tranny action between sets.  Only in San Francisco! With the added bonus of 2 for 1 drinks at the bar, we all wondered why we weren’t frequenting the place more often.

The band’s full length debut album, entitled Album, will be released on Matador Records September 22.  Album’s seven-minute opus, “Hellhole Ratrace,” rated by Pitchfork as “one of the 100 best songs of the year,” will be available prior to the album’s release date on a limited-edition 10″ vinyl single.

San Francisco, if you didn’t catch them at The Stud, they will be playing July 21 at The Rickshaw Stop with Pains of Being Pure At Heart.  In the meantime, enjoy their latest video for “Hellhole Ratrace”.
