Teen Lovers

Claire recently commissioned a video for the Atlantic US signed band The Virgins. It was shot in New York over the weekend and directed by Partizan's Ace Norton. Here's a picture of Donald, Wade and Nick on set as papped by their manager.


The Virgins get called alot of things, but most frequently and lazily they get described as the 'new Strokes', a band whom they sound nothing like. They played a show at YoYo a couple of weeks ago to a crowd well stocked with sour faced media representatives.

Here's what one reviewer had to say about it:

The Virgins pulled a crowd of kids in quirky hats and jeans as carefully distressed as their own. That Cumming rolled his trousers above ankle height, sported different-coloured socks and wore one trainer without a shoelace might strike some as trying too hard, but it could soon become a teen trend.

Lord have mercy.

To think that some supine headed, press release paraphrasing nitwit actually invoiced for this doggerel, with absolutely no compunction, shames our free press. And this was in The Times. Even a sub at the Evening Standard wouldn't have let this load of old toilet through.

Don't get me started.
