An ambitious new local cover band called Girl Group—which will play songs by 60s girl groups, natch—has 19 members so far, and it’s still growing. “I love 60s girl groups, but I’ve never heard of 60s girl groups that had all the instrumentalists be women,” says lead singer and main schemer Shana East. Girl Group’s lineup includes Hollows‘ Megan Kasten, Rabid Rabbit‘s Andrea Jablonski, Outer Minds‘ Gina Lira, Bobby Conn & the Burglars‘ Julie Pomerleau, Moonrises‘ Libby Ramer, and Chic-a-Go-Go host Mia Park. East expects the band will debut this summer, once its costumes, choreography, and sets are finished. To help pay for it all, Girl Group will host a Hideout dance party on Sat 6/9. The band is also looking for a horn player and cellist—e-mail East at secretgeeksociety@gmail.com.
