Hello folks,
The ever busy Piney Gir has plenty of stuff going on as usual - a new single with a couple of rather ace exclusive B-sides, gigs galore, plus her album "Geronimo!" is getting a Stateside release courtesy of the good people at Highline Records. Read on to learn all about it...
Would You Be There (Digital Download Single) - Released 24th September
Would You Be There is the fourth single taken from the latest Piney Gir Album ‘Geronimo!’. A 3 track digital affair with two exclusive cuts - a version of Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler' and ‘We Do Not Get To Choose Who We Love’, a previously unreleased Piney original.
…and talking of Piney and Geronimo!…
You know what? It's time for some straight-talking: Piney Gir put the cowboy boots away, shelved the stylophone beatbox, and hit the loudest 12-string open-E chord you ever did hear.
Piney Gir released her debut album Peakahokahoo on Truck Records in 2004. She was then the singer and guitarist of
all-girl, art-rock, cult faves The Schla La Las. Alongside that, she released Hold Yer Horses, the first Country Roadshow album in 2006 followed by her third album The Yearling on Hotel Records. She came back with a vengeance with the Country Roadshow on Damaged Goods in 2010 for her fourth album Jesus Wept which was widely acclaimed.
Now Kansas' most unique songwriter returns with her finest album to date. “Geronimo!” is pure pop brilliance, a tell-it-to-the-Byrds journey into heartbreak, friendship and new love. After these 40 minutes you’ll have caught the sun and people will ask you where you've been on holiday. And the answer will be “I went to LA in the 60's via the Plastic Ono Band with a twist of Captain Beefheart. I drank the Kool-Aid and I'll never be the same again.” From the quit-the-bar-hittheroad verve of ‘Let's Get Silly’, to the romantic opener ‘Outta Sight’, you're going to remember why true love matters and why pop music, at least, will never run off with someone else.
