The first and only time I met The Virgins they were traveling to a gig in a limo doing coke and drinking beer from the plastic champagne glasses they keep in the kind of limo you can flag down on a street. Their show was pretty awesome, a knuckleheaded take on Jonathan Richman’s new wave blueprint. Befittingly the crowd was pretty much all made up by hot girls who were all on Cobrasnake by the morning.
Check them out on this demo for One Week of Danger.
They’re the kind of band who only really give a shit about the slummy glamour of New York--in the rare hidden pockets it still exists, that is. They’re also the kind of boys who’re far too good looking to get a regular cab. Instead of releasing T-shirts with some band logo on it they’ve released one with four large pornographic stills of huge cocks. Marvelous. You can win one by clicking here.
at first glance, i thought i had another bradford cox sighting.

When I went to see The Virgins, there were around 10 people in the room, it felt like only 4 had actually paid to get in. They put on a good effort for 2 songs, thought no one gave a shit then gave up mumbling how if we didnt care they didn't. Pretty embarrassing and not the Coke and Tits fest their NYC shows are written as. Its lucky all their friends work for Vice,Nylon and Paper. Also total 6/10s in the flesh. Good music far too much hype.
