Candygirl - Beehive



Artist: Candygirl
Title: Beehive
Year: 2000
Label: Lipstick Records
Tracks: 1.) Beehive, 2.) Jukebox Junkie, 3.) Jack-N-Jill, 4.) He's a Hypstr

Here is another gem from Lipstick Records. Candygirl is one of numerous projects from husband and wife Travis Ramin and Georgia "Peach" Conley from Minneapolis. You probably know Travis best as the drummer on all but the first The Fevers record. He also played in the fantastic Tina Lucchesi supergroup Tina & The Total Babes. He has played a lot with his wife, too, with the most prolific outfit being the admittedly lackluster The Short Fuses, who had a LP on Sympathy in 2000. 
I'm going to assume Candygirl was just a recording project and they didn't play shows since Travis played all the instruments on the records. 

This is the second Candygirl record. The first was self-released on their own Jetstar Records a year earlier. In 2006 a Japanese label released a CD called Candygirl & Friends that includes both 7"s and songs from a couple other Georgia Peach projects as well as The Riff Randells, who have nothing to do with either Georgia or Travis.
