Phantom Planet Encore Rerformance

When we first started the Curly Grrlz Hip Clipz Artist of the Month, the very first band we featured was California based Phantom Planet. We dug their music, caught their show at the Knitting Factory in NYC and wanted all those checking-out www.curlygrrlz.com to enjoy their tunes. Fast forward a couple of years and a huge number of awesome acts and we're doing it again. Phantom Planet has some new tunes out and they hit us with a couple to pick from so we're featuring them again. Stay tuned for their encore appearance on Curly Grrlz!

Curly Grrlz Hip Clipz Summer Artists

Ok, so here's the deal...We love skateboarding and we love music. Over the years we've hooked-up with some really cool artists and they've provided us with some awesome tunes so you can listen to them while you check out the boards and stuff. So while we've been doing what we do we've also been lining up some really cool bands for the summer and beyond. So here's a couple of the bands and artists we're hooked-up with:

Killola, Darlington, Kate Voegele and Names in Vain...Stay tuned cause there are more artists to be announced.

Update...What's Up at Curly Grrlz? The Bangles!

Ok, so we've been working on a bunch of stuff since Christmas. Which, by the way was awesome! We're in the process of re-plentishing our suppy but we want to start-off 2008, our 6th year, by welcoming all the girls that scored a totally awesome Curly Grrlz Skateboard this year.

Just to let you know...We're working on two brand spankin' new boards for 2008. We can't give you any info on them just yet, cause most of the stuff is still on the drawing boards but you can bet that they'll follow the Curly Grrlz tradition of being something totally different. You guys know that Curly Grrlz has the largest selection of skateboards for girls in the universe and we're gonna keep that going.

Oh ya, we started this Hip Clipz thing a couple of years ago to showcase some excellent music acts while you check out our stuff. Well you guys know we've had some awesome bands that became mega-artists showcase their tunes on http://www.curlygrrlz.com/. And the Hip Clipz tradition continues...We're stoked to add The Donnas to the line-up in March and we just hooked-up with the legendary girl-group The Bangles for April!!! They're totally retro!

Well as you can see we've been workin' pretty hard, so keep checking back and let us know how we're doing!

Since then, they have played with a long list of talented bands including; The Queers, Waltham and Seemless & at all the hottest venues in Boston; The Paradise, The Middle East and Harper's Ferry as well as the legendary CBGB's in NY.

Curly Grrlz Skateboards Launches New Decks

Curly Grrlz Skateboards previewed two new decks at the Surf Expo. The new decks will hit the site in late October or early November.

When it comes to picking colors, the way we see it, there are two kinda girls: pink girls and purple girls. Some girls love pink and some girls love purple. So we thought, "We make a camo skateboard for pink girls so why not make one for purple girls?" So here she is, the Purple Camo Grrl! The Purple Camo Grrl complete sports a Purple Camo Grrl deck: size: 7.375 x 31.5, matching Tracker Trucks especially painted for Curly Grrlz by Tracker, Bombshellz Skateboard Wheelz with Tracker Abec 5 bearings, hardware and signal green grip tape. She's unbelievable!!

Second, a couple of month ago, we hooked-up with LA based band The Dollyrots and made a one of a kind Curly Grrlz/Dollyrots board with the band's logo on the top...The Dollyrots had a contest and gave it away to one lucky winner and were blown away by the response. So we teamed-up with the them again and made a limited number of Pink and Purple Camo Grrl decks with their logo on the top. So here's the 411 on the boards: Complete Curly Grrlz/Dollyrots Camo Grrl board consists of Pink or Purple Camo Grrlz deck: size: 7.375 x 31.5, matching Tracker Trucks especially painted for Curly Grrlz by Tracker, Bombshellz Skateboard Wheelz with Tracker Abec 5 bearings, hardware and clear grip tape revealing the Dollyrots logo on top. They're awesome!

Both will be available on www.curlygrrlz.com very soon! We'll post pics of the boards shortly...
