Christian Girls – Single

Posted on by darren
Christian Girls

Originally released April 2000 on Too Pure.

Released on CD and 7-inch with the b-sides ‘We Don’t Care What They Say About Us’ and ‘The Fear’ (omitted from the 7-inch), the single version of ‘Christian Girls’ represents the third recording of the song; having signed Hefner on the basis of its original recording, Too Pure placed pressure on the band to re-record it as a single. After recording ‘More Christian Girls’ (the same song with different lyrics), the band relented and released the final version of the single, which would subsequently appear on Boxing Hefner.

Revelations

 

Originally released January 2000 on Top Dog Recordings.

 

Recorded live from one of the band’s Peel Sessions, Revelations! is a four-track EP of gospel covers, inspired by bassist John Morrison’s habit of playing tapes of gospel songs on the band’s tour bus. John himself selected the soul-influenced ‘Nobody Knows (The Trouble I See)’ and ‘Dragnet For Jesus’; Darren chose the folkier tracks ‘He Got Better Things For You’ and ‘Turkle Dove’.
