Detroit’s Gore Gore Girls joined the Bloodshot Records family and are set to release their third full length, Get The Gore this summer.  Named for low budget thrill-king Herschell Gordon Lewis’s 1972 film, The Gore Gore Girls, Tucson Weekly described the band thusly, “Just picture the Ronettes and the Marvelettes adding girl-group harmonies and sophisticated soulfulness to a pummeling, raw energy burst not unlike the music of the MC5 and the Stooges. Yes, the Gore Gore Girls are a girl group, but they are the Ramones to the Donnas' AC/DC; they're more Runaways and L7 than the Go-Gos and the Bangles.” Get the Gore was produced by Jim Diamond, known for his work with bands like The Ponys, The White Stripes and The Dirtbombs.

The band are known for non-stop touring and incendiary live performances – they were chosen for Little Steven’s Underground Garage Rolling RnR Show tour by the man himself, joining the Zombies, The Mooney Suzuki and The Woggles for sweat-soaked performances across the nation. "This tour was a real wake-up call for us," says singer/guitarist Amy Gore. "I never realized how much Rolling Rock was too much until now." Beer drinking was only one of the challenges presented by the super-charged tour line-up, but the Girls persevered. As Amy explained, "The sexual tension between the Mooney Suzuki and The Woggles was intense, we just tried to stay out of it." Look for the Gore Gore Girls playing numerous times in Austin at SXSW.

About Gore Gore Girls:
"These Girls take the two best musical movements to come out of Detroit ( Motown and Garage Rock) and smash them together to create a sexy, sultry sound similar to how Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made For Walking" would sound being performed by The Runaways. The Gore Gore Girls are a show not to be missed" - Jen Cray, Ink19.com

The Gals of Gore deliver what other contemporaries can’t: a powerful, girl-group sound that will send shivers down your spine and dancin’ heat to your feet. An R&B and punk rock union made in heaven! Gore Gore Girls’ simple yet savage take on hip shakin’ rock-n-roll numbers and ferocious live show make them noteworthy and unique. Influenced by equal parts Kinks, Stooges, Marvelettes and some down home dirty love, Gore Gore Girls know how to deliver caustic yet sweet pop numbers in an original girl-group style.

The Gore Gore Girls’ sensory-shocking show has made them darlings of the modern rock scene, resulting in tours with rock ‘n’ roll legends THE CRAMPS and manic rockabilly preacher THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT. They’ve also shared stages with rock heavyweights EAGLES OF DEATH METAL and THE NEW YORK DOLLS, THE RAVONETTES, THE PRETTY THINGS, THE STROKES and more at LITTLE STEVEN’S UNDERGROUND GARAGE FESTIVAL at Randall’s Island, NY last year.

Gore Gore Girls are guitarist/songwriter and lead vocalist Amy Gore, charm school reject Marlene Hammerle on guitar and vocals, and drum goddess Mayuko on the skins. Welcome to the world of GORE!
