The Pin-Up Girls

Postby Liam » Tue Dec 21, 2004 10:35 am

[:D] I recently discovered a cool band called THE PIN-UP GIRLS! Heard them over this cool new wave radio site: www.flashbackalternatives.com! And check this out, they are Asians! From Manila to be exact! Who would have thought that a new wave band can come from the Philippines! No offense meant, it's just mind-boggling! It's like learing that The Killers are from Las Vegas! The Pin-Ups are like The Pixies/B-52's/The Cure rolled into one!! Amazing male-female vocals and shimmering guitars!! Check them out:

Liam,

Stephen Rabow popped in once here to comment:

A lot of us have the fondest memories of Rabow on KYYX & KHIT. You're right--he was (is) a totally awesome dj. I will always have a soft spot
