What's Up. Today's song is Rich Girls by The Virgins.
These guys are a band from New York who formed in 2006. It all started with a songwriter named Donald Cumming who recruited his friends to form a band. Since he already had songs written, they had an EP come out right away with some band recordings and some that were already fully recorded by Donald. They passed it out to DJ's and got some pretty good club play which ultimately led to them being signed. In 2008 they released an LP and then spent the next year touring heavily through festivals all over the world. After two years of inactivity, they announced a comeback in 2012. Although it wasn't the original group. Everyone was a new member besides Donald Cumming. So with a new band and a new record label they released a new album in 2013, then went on tours to promote it. A couple months later the band split up and Donald is planning on starting a solo career. Keep an eye out for any of his other work if you like this, you may find a new artist to follow.
Peace.
