When an eclectic group of individuals comes together with an idea to create something fresh, the results can often be outstanding. Such is the case with the experimental rock trio Strawberry Girls. These guys from California were founded by ex-Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Zachary Garren after he crossed paths with drummer Ben Rossett and bassist Ian Jennings. Although the band has worked with guest vocalists, they have remained an instrumental three piece. The album French Ghetto includes vocal appearances by Kurt Travis (A Lot Like Birds, ex Dance Gavin Dance), Nic Newsham (Gatsbys American Dream), Shane Smit, Kathleen Mae, and Gavin Mulkey. Our sound was originally built from a desire to practice and play as much as possible, without being restricted by the schedules of many different band members, says Garren. However, what originally began as an invention out of necessity, became much more than that. Strawberry Girls take a simplistic, yet sometimes technical approach to songwriting by mending parts together that get stuck in your head and compel you to listen to them over and over again.
Strawberry Girls have gone back into the studio to record their new album American Graffiti and are excited for fans to hear the new songs. We can't wait for everyone to hear American Graffiti, an album we've been writing for over two years. We put a ton of work into making this our best album so far, not just musically, but sonically, too. It's a bit different than our previous releases and we explore a lot more musical territory with this album. We care about every single note we chose to play on American Graffiti and know it shows. Garren explained.
In addition to a new album, the band is also hitting the road this month on the Dance Gavin Dance tenth anniversary tour with Slaves, A Lot Like Birds and Dayshell. We're incredibly excited about our upcoming tour with Dance Gavin Dance. It's gonna be a big family reunion tour since I played guitar in DGD both with Jonny & Kurt, both of whom have new bands on the tour said Garren.
Wohoo!
