Girl and Girl have announced that their digital EP, Fight Night, will be released on 2nd November. The five-song collection features new interpretations of songs from the group’s 2023 EP, Divorce +, and was recorded at Fight Night Studios in Melbourne, Australia. The four piece are also sharing a new performance video of ‘Strangers’ from the Fight Night sessions. Girl and Girl’s frontperson, Kai James, shares the following about the single and video:
“For ‘Strangers’, we tried to bottle the feeling of a night out alone, the thrill that comes from meeting new people. It’s my favourite track to play live; people connect with it. I try my best cowboy dancing, and everyone’s stomping and shouting together. It’s a hoot.”
Fight Night Records is a recording studio perched above Dutch Vinyl record store in Melbourne, established in 2015 by identical twins Harley & Delaney Stewart. Their live studio sessions have captured performances by some of Australia’s most incredible underground talent including Grace Cummings, Folk Bitch Trio, Felix Riebl, Gabriella Cohen, Jazz Party, Bones & Jones and Sweet Talk.
Girl and Girl are working on new music for their full-length Sub Pop debut, and have announced AU and EU shows this Autumn , including a festival play on 11tj November at Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris as well as UK dates including a run of shows with Water From Your Eyes, an appearance at Mutations Festival in Brighton and a double-bill of London headline shows at the Sebright Arms.
