Dragon Girls
 
Local foursome celebrated the release of its first disc -- Pink Beef (Kikurass) -- with a release party mid-June '98 at Thurston's. The album is accompanied by a cool Dragon Girls Color Me Activity & Song Book. Of the disc, Chicago Reader's Spot Check says "... it's the kind of punk I like, laden with crude, smug pop shriek and smirk of the lady-wiseass variety (though only singer-guitarist Litha Ramirez is a girl)."

Illinois Entertainer critic Gina McIntyre says they 'sound strangely reminiscent of X, largely based on their earthy, potent blend of male and female harmony. The overwhelming vibe, though, is fun, and the Girls are quick to brandish their irreverent sense of humor ("Pain Song") to prove it.' New City's Dave Chamberlain says, "The band's knack for finding agresive but low-teststerone guitar riffs with three, four and five chords make for a satisfying first listen and present the kind of CD that could stay in the disc player. It's refreshing, enthusiastic sound, and one of the best debut records from a local band I've heard in some time."
