LOCAL GIRLS PRESS RELEASE 24 09 08 4 hand picked from a bunch of indie pop wannabes, their disillusioned road crew and loyal fan base by a member of the music industry elite: 7 name changes, a £10,000 expense account & a failed press junket to the far east later, the arse falls out of the music industry. With the sound of a bullet ricochetting off their ex-manager’s skull still fresh in the ears of a traumatised typing pool the unnamed band repaired to the less fashionable end of London to choose the name Local Girls rip off the best bits of the B52s, Ramones & Adam’s Original Ants.

Robyn Raymond Hitchcock (born March 3, 1953) is an English singer-songwriter and psych folk guitarist who also ventures into several forms of art, in particular painting and poetry, and has occasionally shown an interest in acting. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano and bass guitar. Many of Hitchcock's album covers bear his paintings or drawings, and his albums' liner notes sometimes include a printed short story. His live concerts usually include a considerable amount of story-telling, imaginative and surreal ad-libbed monologues in his lyrical style.
