About Me

FAIRMOUNT GIRLSformed in 1996 in a small cincinnati urban neighborhood, Fairmount ,where annie oakley was born .... Fairmount Girls were born out of the desire to learn new instruments that were nurtured by their female comraderie. The ever changing lineup [now featuring Randy Cheek of the Ass Ponys and Pat Hennessy of the Tigerlilies] has forced the girls to prosper and reinvent themselves resulting in 2 full length albums [Eleven Minutes To Anywhere and Tender Trap] plus multiple singles and compilations . They are now working on a new album of Summertime hits to be released Christmas 2005 ! the FG's have showcased their music at CMJ, NXNE, ChicksRockFest, Ladyfest, MPMF and countless opening slots including Guided By Voices, the White Stripes, Scrawl, Helium, Forget Cassettes, Fruit Bats, Jonathon Richmond, etc. 2 full length albums , multiple compilations including data was lost ,unlike, deary me volumes 1 & 2 and the iLove tribute to love songs . also displayed on their piano are CEA awards for best new artist and indie artist of the year as well as a CAMMY award for best alternative .I edited my profile at Myspacelayouts . check out these Myspace Layouts!
