The Morning After Girls: US Tour



So for the last few months, our relatively new musical happening called the morning after girls have spent time at home in Australia as they ponder how to follow up their well received SXSW and CMJ trips last year....and to our delight, things are looking promising for a fantastic 2006.

Last week they shared the stage once again with THE DANDY WARHOLS in Sydney and Brisbane. At which time, BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB invited The Girls to support them on their entire US tour. Without even figuring out how they would get across the globe, the band said yes and the wheels for the morning after girls’ return to America were set in motion.

And in comes the UK....BEST BEFORE RECORDS have now come on board to release ‘Prelude: EPs 1 & 2’ in the UK, and now things appear to be heating up over there for The Girls as well. NME, MTV (UK), The Fly, XFM and Zane Lowe at BBC1 have discovered the EPs and are starting to let people know.

MTV2 (UK) have been airing the video for ‘Hi-Skies’ exclusively since December (4 months prior to the UK release). And just when plane tickets are being sorted out for The Girls to support BRMC in America, STELLASTARR* steps in and offers them the support slot on their UK tour...so they’re jumping off the BRMC tour to do Europe with stellastarr*....including and NME Brats Show with stellastarr* and THE BRAVERY.

After the UK, the morning after girls are headed back to America to rejoin BRMC in Houston and do the west coast dates up until SXSW. Then the band is flying up to Seattle to join BRMC on their last show. Why fly up there for just one show? ?It’s because KEXP has been flogging them to death up there and sales are strong, so The Morning After Girls are going to play Seattle to say thanks for all the support....they will also be performing a live session on KEXP the night after the gig.

Anyway, the morning after girls are currently #7 on Mediaguide’s specialty radio chart, and and have been steadily climbing up the CMJ charts for the last couple of months. Below are the tour dates. They’re a coming back. We hope you can come out to understand why you need to believe in this band....
