Thee Girl Fridays are a Scottish garage-beat combo who are
supercharged with sass and a shared love for old school rock ‘n’
roll.
Following their debut EP ‘The Love Witch’ in 2019 (one of the very
early Spinout nuggets), Thee Girl Fridays cast a spell on a slew of
retroactive enthusiasts.
Many gigs, festivals, a pandemic break, and change of personnel
later, Miss Kazooki (vocals), Rotator Cuff (drums) and Ms Boom
(bass) welcomed guitarist Lightnin’ (Sally Skull, The Nettelles,
Lord Rochester, and author of Girlsville: The Story Of The
Delmonas and Thee Headcoatees) and part-time organ grinder
Caitriona Nettelle (The Nettelles) aboard.
This AA side captures a snapshot in the life of our ‘Double
Crossing Double Agent’. He’s immersed in an underworld of
espionage. Watch out Harry Palmer, he’s on your tail and he’s
stealing your women! This side the sound is inspired by both the
known and lesser known girl groups of ’60s and beyond. As The
Shangri-Las once hypothesised ‘He’s good-bad, but he’s not evil.’
We’ll let you decide…
Flip and you’ll find our agent on a chase through space
contemplating the use of one of the most underrated inventions
of the 20th century, the ‘Ejector Seat’. Does our stealth agent
press the button? Paying homage to Barry Gray/Sylvia & Gerry
Anderson, discover otherworldly sounds, reverb, and a big dose
of attitude thrown in for good measure. Dare you take a ride?
These tracks were recorded at Ravencraig, Scotland’s premier
analogue studio by Angus McPake (The Thanes, Les Bof,
The Sensation Seekers) and mixed by Russ Wilkins (The Milkshakes,
The Wildebeest, Lord Rochester) and space-tacular artwork
concept by Rotator Cuff and realised by Chris ‘Shake’ Taylor (The
Razerbills, The Real Losers).
Limited to 500 copies, released on Spinout Nuggets, it will be
available via the label, the group and all good record outlets.
