YOU CAN’T TAKE A BAD GIRL HOME
Features Familiar Harmonies in Adventurous Direction

Austin, TX — The Fabulous Ginn Sisters, the duo from Schulenburg known for its compelling sister harmonies and original songs, brings its latest album, the adventurous YOU CAN’T TAKE A BAD GIRL HOME (November 2010; Lonesome Day), to showcase at South By Southwest this month.

The Fabulous Ginn Sisters SXSW shows:
* Official showcase: 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, 18th floor, Hilton Garden Inn, 500 N. Highway I-35;
* 2:30 p.m. Friday, March 18, New World Deli, 4101 Guadalupe St.;

* 6 p.m. Saturday, Hyatt Regency, Downtown on the Lake, 208 Barton Springs Road.

“To some people, a ‘smoky, drunken stumble through a broken-heart junkyard’ might not sound like a good time,” says the Decatur Herald & Review. “But don’t tell that to the Fabulous Ginn Sisters … The sisters describe their new album … as just that.”

After joining forces with independent Canadian singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith, who had put them in his backup band to tour (250 shows, including a performance on “Late Night with David Letterman”) and then offered to produce the duo’s next album, the Ginns recorded YOU CAN’T TAKE A BAD GIRL HOME without a break, literally working until it was complete.

Tiffani and Brit Ginn, who now live in Austin, let loose in the studio, taking liberty with lyrics, allowing in a darker expression of emotions, experimenting with Eaglesmith’s vintage recording gear and pooh-poohing imperfections. The result: a decidedly different album, the style described as “lipstick noir” by one music writer, touching on lust, regret, broken dreams and lost hope — but with the sparkling harmonies everyone knows.
