Rich Girls began as the solo recording project of Luisa Black with an EP and video release on Tricycle Records in 2013. “The One I Want” was a pop confessional of love and addiction, pieced together after the breakup of her SF garage rock band The Blacks, Black decamped to London looking for a new start and the result was Fiver, a collection of dark pop songs that cemented the Rich Girls high-low sound.
“A joyously dark example of noise-pop with vague undercurrents of early New Order’s enthralling brand of atmospheric doompop.”
Rich Girls combines the polish of British art rock with the primitive energy of American garage. The live band debuted at Noise Pop 2014 and were quickly tapped as a band to watch. Fiver was released on Break Up Records with a video for the single ‘Worse.’ The band has since found a small following in unexpected outposts across the UK and Europe. A new album–Love is the Dealer–is set for release in spring 2016. Rich Girls is based in NYC.
