RIP: Girls Calls It Quits

As reported by SF Weekly following Girls’ frontman Christopher Owens’s announcement on Twitter, one of SF’s best-loved bands is done. Owens is leaving to make his own music, calling his reasons "personal" and adding, "I need to do this in order to progress." Girls released two records, Album in 2009 and Father, Son, Holy Ghost in 2011.

Our contributor Justine Fields might be one of the few folks not weeping over a vinyl collection right now. Read her review here of the band’s performance last year at Great America Music Hall.

Watch the official video for "Honey Bunny," off Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
