CMJ SHOWCASE OCT 20 & NPR WEEKEND EDITION PROFILE AIRING
OCT. 27
Piney Gir – the US-born indie pop artist who has found
success in London – will return to the States in October for a national tour
when her new album 'Geronimo!' is released in the US on Highline Records.
NPR's Weekend Edition is planning a profile on Piney Gir,
currently set to air October 27. Growing up in Kansas in a strict Pentacostal
household, she was not allowed access to pop culture until adolescence, though
she was singing harmonies in the church from a young age.
She will also join the Highline Records / Indie Dark Room
CMJ party at Pete's Candy Store October 20, on the bill with Sweet Lights (Kurt
Vile), Correatown, Backlights and Leland Sundries.

Baeble Music recently praised 'Geronimo's' "sun-faded
retro pop [and] all out go go boots affair," continuing, "After all,
if Piney Gir's buzzing electric guitars and relentlessly charming vocals were
enough to brighten up the UK, we gotta think they'll be enough to make us Americans
cheery."
