If a band is made up of nothing but girls, a lot of people’s first inclination is to believe that they’re all eye candy with no real musical talent. The last thing a lot of people would believe is that they can actually rock! The ladies of Girlush Figure are out to put the lie to those old stereotypes with their first album, Target You. Phil Bailey introduces you to Pigpen, Squeaky, and Donna.

Though they get compared to bands as disparate as Devo, the Dillinger Four, X, and Bikini Kill, the St. Paul-based punk rock band the Selby Tigers actually have a sound all their own. Sean Carswell cornered the band while they were stranded in Cocoa Beach on their recent tour, and spoke with Arzu, Dave, and Nathan about their music, third party politics, and movies with dwarves.

Girls Rock festival, featuring Ez Bake Organs, Emily Herring, Ricki Comeaux, Fair Verona, 5 Days Late, and Girlush Figure, at the Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans, LA on September 2, 2000. Event review and photos by Phil Bailey.
