Colleen Green: Going green on tour

Colleen Green is a self-proclaimed stoner, but do not let that fool you into thinking that all she does is sit at home on her couch. In addition to venturing out on a national tour with Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles, Green actually keeps herself quite busy releasing a bunch of music and making comics. Originally from Boston, her music entails a guitar, drum machine and dulcet vocals reminiscent of bands like All Girl Summer Fun Band. Green moved out to Oakland in 2008 and released some tapes and EPs on her own. It was not until earlier this year that she got some label love from Hardly Art Records and released a 7". Green and some friends also hosted shows at their Oakland home, known as the Full House House. Green is now living in Los Angeles and getting ready for the world to hear her newest EP, called "Cujo." The 6-song EP will be out via Art Fag on October 4th. On the first single, "Rabid Love," Green plays her guitar with fervor and her love-striken heart does not take any prisoners. The music has a fun West Coast vibe, accompanied by gritty tones that keep things interesting. Green will open for Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles tonight at the Troubadour. – Karla Hernández
