A Girl Hurts is the handywoman of the underground scene. If you dig on paste-up flyers, trouble with p.a.'s, late bills because we wanted to see our favorite bands so badly, and the fact that we never know what will go down at a show, then this is the place for you. . . . . .Our record label was born in name only on the dusky back porch of the decaying dirty duck. a very drunk shannon g. leaned over and told me i should start a label, and call it a girl hurts. i did. a couple of years later i finally met robbie who fit the bill as a partner and here we are. we host shows, mostly at the mustang in modesto, but at various local venues and house parties. we are a small cd-r label that has several bands from modesto and ceres featuring folks we grew up and partied with and now want to help release something by. we do this all d-i-y and pay out of pocket for the pleasure of creating something we know we did well. we also host the central valley independant music festival in the valley every spring. it has gotten better, but we still need help. . . . . .We have released records by:
WAKING UP PROCESS (Dustin from Long Division), GUILTY BYSTANDER (tony from kalis, Long Division, Apollo Trigger, etc), CENTRAL VALLEY PINK TEAM, MEGHAN BAKER, D.A.R.Y.L., SLEEPING GIANT, with upcoming releases buy THE AUTIS TOOLE, JESSICA, FEMMEBOTZ, MOONTRENT (split with timmikat records), RYAN FABIAN (hopefully) as well as a new DARYL remixes tour mini-disc and a new album with new member+voxes. also a new solo project from rob SOUNDTRACK FOR THE FIRST COMIC I EVER MADE which will of course include the book and of course have gross pics and gross stories.. . . . . .We have released eight comp cd's that were givaway only at shows featuring the bands that played including: ghost of lester bangs, glass candy, judith and holofurnes, rediscover, annabell lee murders, phone tap noir, shevel knievel, anteria, apollo trigger, lozen, duncan booth, dissonance disco, left hand black, gentlemen, gift giver, headless/heartless, irene n rob remixes, my sexual dad, weirdo begierdo, jacob smigel, hott beat, dada swing, laco$te, le push, rapatron, the autis toole, femmebotz, daryl, and sleeping giant....... . . . . . check our blogs and bullitans for upcoming events and releases and how to get involved.Please post yr shows and events in our comments, but they will be deleted after the event takes place to save room.
