Let me start by giving Religious Girls some screen real estate. They’re touring, and this is their tour poster. They’re from Oakland, California, which is like 800 miles away from Seattle.

We’re playing with Religious Girls at the Tractor Tavern on August 21st.

These dudes make music that’s crazy and loud and pretty and melodic and complex and they’re a lot like us except not at all because we’re a bunch of jazz nerds and they may or may not be I don’t know I haven’t really had a long, drawn-out conversation with the fine gentlemen but I hope to one day very soon perhaps after the show that I mentioned in the previous one-sentence paragraph and by the way did I mention that they have one of the most ridiculous Facebook news feeds ever? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Religious-Girls/299610227575

Also, Religious Girls has an album. You should listen to and buy it: http://religiousgirls.bandcamp.com/

Here is a press quote about Religious Girls from a website that writes about bands and stuff:

“Their dreamy synths, impossible rhythms, and deceptive name inspired us to flood the room with fog and bathe them in pink and purple. We caught up with them later at their practice space to talk money, moms, and well, girls.”

The quote is from this website: http://richmondconfidential.org/2011/03/08/bandwidth-oakland%E2%80%99s-religious-girls-shred-their-gospel/

One time a long time ago when Operation ID was still “the outest jazz band” and we were still “avant-garde dance-rock” (remember we’re “bionic synth-pop” now or something), we played a superbly radtacular show with Religious Girls at the Black Lodge and Ravenna Woods was there too and so was Heatwarmer. Everyone slayed that night and everyone was happy and I hope you were happy then and I hope you’re happy now too, everyone deserves to be happy I think.

This shit is so metal look they’re playing in a tunnel

Oh and here’s a picture of them

Come hear Religious Girls play with us (and Prawnyxx!!!) at the Tractor on August 21st like I said it’s going to be really fun It’s going to be amazing because Religious Girls is amazing!
