Team Gina has been quiet all winter, but Seattle’s synchronized dancing rap duo is gearing up for a full-on blitz this summer, starting with a comfortable opening spot tonight at Chop Suey with the Trucks (ladies from the PacNW) and Northern State (ladies who rap). The band also just completed filming a video for “Rock the Like,” the first single off the group’s upcoming debut full-length, due out on Don’t Stop Believin’ Records in June or July. Sound has yet to get its paws on the album, but we have been assured, by the band’s super fan-cum-publicist Ashley Graham, that the duo will blow our minds with some new tracks and some live favorites. Says Graham,
Finally have recorded versions of “Wife Swapping,” “Boobies,” “Products of the ’80s”… all the goods! And there is a brand new song where they take on the various characters of like 6 or 8 musicals including Gypsy, Oklahoma, Bye Bye Birdie, Annie… it’s totally my favorite.
Graham isn’t the only one excited about the prospects of Team Gina in 2008. The nation’s leading LGBT pub, The Advocate, has named the group as one of five emerging LGBT artists in 2008 and included a fine short profile written by The Stranger’s Kurt B. Reighley. With a circulation of 175,000, The Advocate might have just put Seattle’s most colorful, rapping lesbians on the national music map.
