Playing in different incarnations since middle-school, the band GRLFRNDS - a text-speak reference to the outsider mentality of isolated post-punks in Honolulu - formed officially in late 2009. An effete gang-by-circumstance with a shared affinity for 'bangers' they dared themselves into the existence at the promise of a Battle Of The Bands. A hastily-composed 6-song set subsequently led to their 3rd-ever live show in front of a 2,000+ crowd supporting Modest Mouse.
