Girls Can't Catch: here's (possibly) the first single performed live

  • April 20, 2009
  • Popjustice

Things happen very quickly in the world of pop: Girls Can't Catch made their debut live appear­ance on Saturday and there are two YouTube videos to prove that it all happened in case THERE [sorry Stefan] is an inquest.

Here is 'Keep Your Head Up'.

After we unveiled the band on Friday there was mixed but generally positive feedback on the Popjustice forums — criticism was mainly reserved for the band's name, which like we said will take a bit of getting used to. (The only three genuinely good main­stream pop group names of the last twenty years are East 17, S  Club 7 and  Basement Jaxx.)
