The Girlies were one of the most popular bands doing the pub/club scene in four short years from '86-'90. Their first single ''Pussycat / Feelin's Gone'' came out in '86 and re-released with a second print run shortly afterwards. In the proceeding years, follow ups ''Felon / Back To The City'' (not released in Australia) and the EP 'Common Thing' were the bands only other official releases besides their version of ''Tight Pants'', which was included on The Stooges tribute album 'Hard To Beat' in '89. Unfortunately lead singer Tony Brassington died sometime in the 90's. The ever-charismatic guitarist, Mark Wilkinson, went on to perform in The Lime Spiders and The New Christs, but sadly died in late 2012. The Girlies are best remembered by their live shows with blisteringly loud rock'n'roll that could certainly enthuse and energise an audience.
