Manchester's WEIMAR presents ripping rock single 'The Girls of LA', reflecting on the essence of the American Dream
[2022-04-12]
Manchester-based indie rockers Weimar (pronounced Vy-marr) present their new single 'The Girls of LA' for release via German Shepard Records on March 25th. This is the first taste of their debut album 'Dancing On A Volcano'.
Stylistically fluid and expansive, this upbeat pop-rock anthem melds Weimar’s 70s avant-garde influences with traces of 90s college rock. Lyrically it is an ode to the bottle service girls, who work LA's clubs and bars, using tips gained from punters to finance their wider career aspirations in Hollywood and the business world. It is a celebration of their business prestige, and a positive reflection on the essence of the American Dream and the road to stardom. An optimistic and life-affirming oddity in the midst of Weimar’s mostly dark repertoire.
The single comes with the B-side 'Transatlantic Confusion', a reworking of a song by singer Aidan Cross and guitarist Stephen Sarsen’s former band The Bacillus, the original version available on The Bacillus album 'I Can't Adapt To This Prison You Call Society' also available on German Shepherd Records.
