While We Wait

by Rainbow Girls

David E Schipper They had me hooked with a cover of Dan Reeder's Born a Worm, and when I searched for their music; to my heart's delight a live recording release to its core acoustic elements not on SPOTIFY. Love you more every minute.

Mikethemikeman I may be biased, but this is some of the freshest, most exciting, oozing energy and spirit, music out there. ‘2020 Live’! It doesn’t get more real or better than that. Favorite track: Patriotism Killed the Cat.

about

Surprise! We’re dropping a special album on this final day of 2020 -on Bandcamp only- as a parting gift for such an intense year.
____________

“This isn’t a studio album; you couldn’t duplicate these performances in a studio without an audience. And it’s not a live album with a full audience, but hundreds of fans at home. It’s ‘2020 Live’, and … what we are documenting here is an important and remarkable time in history, that never ever happened before, when musicians performed their asses off with hardly anybody in the room… It really is historic.”
- Mike Berliner

We Rainbow Girls spent last winter recording a new album that we are very excited to share with yall, but due to 2020 being lame af, we haven’t been able to. “While We Wait” is here to tide us over 'til we can release our next full-length album. It is a collection of songs pulled from the audio of various virtual shows we’ve played this year in lieu of in-person concerts.

The idea came to us earlier this month when fan-turned-friend, Mike Berliner, snail-mailed us a mix CD full of songs he had ripped from our facebook live shows. We picked our favorites, added a few, and asked our friend Jonathan Kirchner to shine them up as best as possible.

These songs are not perfect and this album will never be available on Spotify, iTunes, or any mainstream platform. This is merely an offering to our fans and friends who have been unwaveringly there for us; a gift for those who have been patiently awaiting the release of our new album. (As of NYE 2020, we're still not sure of the release date for our next studio album.)

We hope you enjoy this in the meantime,
<3 RBGs

We rainbows all have similar, yet different tastes in music. This live album by our friends, however, is one of the only things we can all play in the van and agree on. Every time. Rainbow Girls

their songwriting and delivery is so authentic, it really makes me feel like I am there in a room with them maybe with a small group of people, that everything is going to be okay, we can share our hopes and our sorrows with each other. we will love again. youngrichhomeless

Pohorylle

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
