With a musical style all their own and a controversial name, Black Girls are getting noticed by Richmond concert-goers as well as the local press. The name “Black Girls” was not chosen to stir up trouble, it is meant to coincide with the band’s unique sound. While all six members of the band are white, male, self-proclaimed hipsters, their music is melodic, soulful and distinctly southern. When Style Weekly voted Black Girls “The Best Band of 2011”, the band told Style that it owes its accelerated ascension on the local music scene to “hard work and the support from fans.” While the band has a number of Richmond shows scheduled for the near future, Black Girls plans to refocus its energy towards song-writing and national recognition.
