Girls’ Christopher Owens Forms A Band Called Curls, Again
Girls released two instant-classic albums (and one instant-classic EP) before dissolving in 2012. Since then, frontman Christopher Owens has put out a couple of solo albums and sold some beaded necklaces, but now, after meeting San Francisco musicians Cody Rhodes and Luke Ba?e in local recording sessions, he’s forming a new band called Curls.
Happy to announce that I've met two local musicians that I've been jammin' with. Not only are they both crack musicians, but solid dudes too

We've just agreed we like each other enough to start a band. There's no record deal and we're playing this by ear. But it's exciting for me-

I've loved everyone I've ever played with, but none live in San Francisco now, and that makes it very hard. This is the first time…

…that I'm actually forming a real band. We will function as a band. We're all working boys too, so this won't be about touring and PR, etc

But, as of today, a new band has formed in San Francisco California, and we are called… Curls

Funnily enough, this is actually the second band called Curls that Owens has formed. In 2005, after moving to San Francisco, he started a band called Curls with his girlfriend Liza. The plan was for Owens to write the music and for Liza to write the lyrics and sing, but after they broke up, Owens took the songs he had written, wrote new lyrics for them, and recorded them with Chet “JR” White under the name Girls.
So here’s hoping that this new Curls can lead to equally great things!
