Rare or Unreleased 27: Girls Against Boys

I have a brother. Last time I posted a rare track by GvsB, he commented that he wanted more.

Well, when my brother wants more, he gets more. Forget about Sunday morning, here's to Saturday night!

Recorded live and broadcast on 'HFS' show Inside Dave's Garage, Girls Against Boys and Guided By Voices each got four tracks to prove their worth. Proceeds from the now out-of-print 1997 CD GvsB vs GBV—8 Rounds benefitted the Washington Free Clinic. Here are GvsB's songs—hear the band cracking up on the superhit that never was, «Kill the Sexplayer»:

  1. Learned It
  2. Vera Cruz
  3. Disco 666
  4. Kill the Sexplayer
Proper studio versions of tracks 2 and 3 appear on the band's last good album, House of GvsB (1996). Proper studio versions of tracks 1 and 4 appear on practically perfect classics Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby (1993) and Cruise Yourself (1995), respectively.

Girls Against Boys—a band that never got its due.
