Birthday Girls

Fri, 2010-10-15 08:37 by admin  

Birthday Girls combines distorted bass with synthesizer, live drums, and harsh vocals for a distinctive sound that draws from our main influences including bands such as:  Death From Above 1979, Bloc Party, The Strokes, Foals, No Age, and Wavves.

Birthday Girls bash

U of O band releases debut EP

by Katrina Medwenitsch

Published: Sep 29

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN some of University of Ottawa’s finest get together for some dance-punk/post-punk music? You get the Birthday Girls, the three-man—that’s right, man—group comprised of Lloyd Alexander, Kevin Donnelly, and Kyle Kilbride. Long time best friends, Birthday Girls formed in 2009, and used synthesizer to distinguish their music from the traditional grunge sound.

“It’s kind of a mix between […] I’d say dance music and noise rock. It’s kind of dance-punk, post-punk,” explains Donnelly. “It’s just music that’s heavy, but you can dance to it.” Birthday Girls is easy to differentiate from other bands due to their unique instrument selection.

“It’s sort of unconventional, because there’s no guitar. There’s just bass guitar, live drums, and synthesizer, so that sets us apart from other bands.” says Alexander.

Their uniqueness extends past their sound and into their interesting name choice. “Birthday Girls” came unexpectedly from Donnelly’s brother.

“My brother gave me this t-shirt one day that he had, ‘cause his friend had a birthday party. She made him a t-shirt that said ‘Birthday Girl BFF’ for him,” explains Donnelly. “But the ‘BFF’ letters fell off, and he just gave it to me because he had no use for it. I was like ‘Hey, that would be a great name for a band!’ and that was it.” Birthday Girls members are quick to point out there is no ‘the’ in their name.

“It’s just ‘Birthday Girls’, because we aren’t the only girls in the world,” jokes Donnelly. “There’s other girls out there who have birthdays as well.”

Although they formed only one year ago, Birthday Girls are working fast to get music to their fans. Their debut EP was released earlier this month, and the band couldn’t be more thrilled.

“We’re pretty much just breaking in,” says Alexander. “The main thing right now is our EP release show next week, so that’s pretty awesome. We actually have a band from Toronto that’s joining us. [It’s] pretty exciting to be sharing the stage with them.” Their EP release party—a ‘birthday bash’ with balloons, streamers, cupcakes and loot bags—will occur on Oct. 1. Birthday Girls are looking forward to what they feel will be their largest show to date.

“We have played a lot of Ottawa shows in the past, but this is kind of our big start to [a] real adventure,” adds Donnelly. Looking past the EP release, the band’s vision for the future is hopeful.

“[We want to] get as big as we can while having as much fun as we can,” says Donnelly of their plans.

“We just really want people to hear our music,” adds Alexander. All in all, Birthday Girls are having fun making their music, and hope that listeners are enjoying themselves as much as they are.

“We’re just taking the kind of music we like and making it. We hope that other people like it as much as we do,” says Alexander.

LYSTEN NOTES - This is one band to watch for!
