THE FRESH & ONLYS: GAY BARS ARE THE BEST BARS
October 21st, 2009 · No Comments
Tim Cohen and Shayde Sartin were music buffs who met after working at Amoeba, and one day, they decided to make music rather than just stacking it on shelves. Last spring’s self-titled LP was as infectious as raw meat festering in a garage, and this fall’s Grey-Eyed Girls once again delivers much more than dude music—it’s romantic. This interview by Daiana Feuer.

They play tonight at the Smell and tomorrow at the Echo and will eradicate years of listless go-nowhere-ism with only 25 minutes and access to electricity. This interview by Dan Collins.
