Girl and Girl

Australian indie outfit Girl and Girl are known for their passionate, wry brand of hooky, '70s post-punk-influenced guitar rock. Following several buzzed-about EPs, the group signed with Sub Pop and released their 2024 full-length debut, Call a Doctor, which NME called “brilliantly bonkers indie rock”. Formed in 2020 in Queensland, Girl and Girl features singer/guitarist Kai James, guitarist Seb Ward, bassist Fraser Bell, and drummer Melissa James (aka Aunt Liss). After winning the inaugural Gold Coast Music Prize, Girl and Girl became one of the hottest buzz acts at Australia’s 2022 Bigsound Music Conference. The band supported Dry Cleaning on a national tour of Australia before embarking on a debut European Tour including showcase performances at The Great Escape, support dates with Blondshell and an appearance at London’s Wide Awake Festival in 2023, playing to a packed and heaving main room at London Calling, and rapturous crowds at Pitchfork Music Festival and Rolling Stone Beach. Girl and Girl was named one of Rolling Stone’s 'Best of SXSW' and NME '10 Essential Acts' at SXSW 2024, and featured on Steve Lamacq’s 6Music SXSW Wrap as a top pick of the festival. They returned to the US for a month-long tour with Royel Otis in May, where they recorded multiple live-to-air radio session including a debut performance for KEXP Live.
