DAVID GILMOUR GIRLS - Crimson as Murder remixes

David Gilmour Girls started out as a project of Dutchmen Robin van der Kaa and Jasper Uhl while playing together in the rockband Oil, with whom they'd spent several years recording and touring Europe and the United States. It became their primary focus after Oil disbanded in 2004, at the same time also expanding from a studio outfit to playing live. Drawing from such a diverse musical background created a sound that's hard to pin down - using partly seventies psychedelic rock, partly new wave, partly raw disco, using live instruments just as much as electronica, but never losing sight of the dancefloor. It has been described as 'an ever-evolving wall of sound to lose yourself in. It's drugged up & tranced out.' and 'Led Zeppelin meets Moroder'

Their first recordings attracted the attention of Robi Insinna's (a.k.a Headman) Relish Records, who consequently signed the duo. In 2004 the debut single 'Crackhousewarmingparty' was released, including a Rub 'n' Tug remix of the title track. The follow-up 'Heavy Metal Music Magazines', which included two originals and a Motiivi:Tuntematon (Timo Kaukolampi of OPL Bastards/Annie fame) remix, came out a year later.

November 2006 saw the release the Relish Records label compilation, including two brand new DGG tracks, and early 2007 the third 12" 'Crimson as Murder' will be released.

In the meantime the DGG did not only focus on original work, but were asked to do remixes for several other acts including Ajello (Relish), Linus Loves (Breastfed), Liquid Liquid percussionist Dennis Young, Hardrock Striker and even Roxy Music.

David Gilmour Girls just finished their debut album ‘VULTURES’ for Relish, set for release in summer 2007, and co-host a bi-monthly club night in Amsterdam called ‘Last Night On Earth’.
