Two Nice Girls was formed by Phillips in 1985, after she spent the early part of the 80s playing with a punk/performance art band named Meat Joy. In 85. Two Nice Girls consisted of Phillips, Korniloff and Laume Freelove But Freelove left the group after the release of its debut selfâ€"titled album Barger and Hentges joined the group shortly after, and there was instant chemistry Opposite Waterloo Square Open 9 to 9 Mon. . Fri Saturdays till 6 p m It‘s because we switch around instruments so much. We all play acoustic, electric and bass, and you learn things by trying different styles,"‘ Phillips says â€" One of the reasons we do it is that it allows us to study and expand and take the music further Phillips says much of the band‘s diversity is the result of technical versatility â€" each band member can play a number of instruments and therefore is not locked to any one. And it‘s the result of an interest in many different styles of music With Chioe Liked Olivia, Two Nice Girls run the gamut from folk to funk with a bit of everything in between. Let‘s Go Bonding, tor example, teatures a funkie little guitar line, the likes of which would do Shaft proud. While Swimming in Circles, with its sweet harmonies and soft acoustics is as folkie as they come Versatility is the name of the game. Unlike many ‘women‘s music‘‘ performers, who sing for women about women in a predominantly folk style, Two Nice Girls offers up a veritable musical smorgasbord potentially be difficult to take,‘‘ says Phillips, one the band‘s founding members. ‘‘And we all just happen to be very funny. It‘s not something that we have to work very hard on to have that (element) be there. We kind of hit upon that as a way of expressing ourselves. !t feels good to us and it makes radical ideas more powerful.‘‘ 100 King St. South PAGE 16 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1991 884â€"BOOK (2665) Just Relased: Volume V of A History of Private Life â€" Riddles of Identity in Modern Funes, by Prost & Vincent, Harvard University Press Two Nice Girls Words Worth Books Presented in coâ€"operation with the University of Waterloo spruRD NY Awp EAMIWY gun!

That (the Beatles analogy) is totally and comâ€" pletely apt, ‘ Phillips says. ‘‘When | think about that, we‘re a fourâ€"piece where everybody rocks and everybody is very diverse.
