The Virgins & Lissy Trullie @ The Rock & Roll Hotel (January 22, 2009)


Lissy Trullie opened for The Virgins that random Thursday night in Washington, DC. Although the band had replaced the beautiful Harley Viera-Newton with a new bassist, the band still had a great set and I definitely want to see them for a third time when they return the to the R&R on April 8th this year. Even though I coincidently somehow had already seen The Virgins twice in the past four months, the third time around the show was still exciting and fun. Their outfits never cease to amaze me with their awkward yet somehow sexy ripped jeans and vintage shirts. Once again the band played through their entire self-titled album including songs like "Private Affair" and the very popularized "Rich Girls". The ballad-esc nature of Donald singing "Fernando Pando" is always a nice break in the very fun upbeat set. 

Check out the RAC Mix of The Virgin's song "Rich Girls" if you're sick of the original being played on every teen drama on television.

The Virgins & Lissy Trullie @ The Bowery Ballroom (December 12, 2008)

What an amazing Friday night in NYC's Bowery Ballroom. Lissy Trullie started the night off well, ending with a cover of Hot Chip's "Ready For the Floor" followed by a dance filled performance by The Virgins.  Being a fan of photographer, Ryan McGinley, of course I'm gonna like The Virgins. Lead singer, Donald Cumming, met guitarist, Wade Oates, while doing a McGinley photo shoot in Mexico. The Virgins represent a life in New York City at its truest. Their lyrics embody everything that is the young life in Manhattan with songs like "Rich Girls" and "Teen Lovers". With Donald's amazing dance moves and the bands great energy, The Virgins put on an amazing show. Oh, and don't forget about The Virgins' nerdy yet amazing clothes ie Wade's duck-tape pants, love them!
