about
CD ONLY
These are NOT your typical Valley Girls…Fronted by sisters Caron and Michele Maso, the Little Girls rocked 80’s L.A. with alternative radio hits “Earthquake Song” and “How To Pick Up Girls”. Armed with attitude, smarts and irresistible pop hooks; the band delivered just one killer mini-album (“Thank Heaven”) in its initial lifespan – reissued here alongside the best of the band’s demos, reunion sessions, collaborations and unreleased recordings. Backing the girls’ familial harmonies are players including Kip Brown (LA punk outfit SHOCK) and Blondie’s Nigel Harrison & Clem Burke.
