With all their creep pop tendencies, Boy/Girl manages to work in a fair amount dark rock with just two gender opposite individuals. Known for their creativity on their instruments. Drummer [GIRL] Lisa is powerful and musical, taking every chance she can to blend in unexpected instruments and experimental sounds while Eric [Boy] produces something between guttural and sexual with both his guitar and his voice. Flaunting strangeness, their music and personalities are excruciatingly unique making them exceedingly difficult to ignore.

How long have you been playing together?
We have been together for about 2 years.

Who are your major influences?
We have really different taste in music. I would say Lisa is more into indie folk and I am more into noise so bands we both like are far and few between. It makes for interesting drives on tour but I would say it is somewhere between black sabbath and red house painters.

How did you get started?
We made a pact in a seedy little bar in Jersey City to play music together. I left for Africa and came back half a year later. Lisa heard I was back and rented a warehouse space in Jersey City. After that we just sort of started making noise together.

Tell me about some “strange sexual undertones” in your music?
There is a muse behind most of the songs. I think that gives it the undertone and how me and Lisa interact on stage for some reason makes it seem sexual for people. Although I am secretly repulsed by her in that way. Don't ever tell her I said that!

What’s the best compliment you have ever gotten about the band?
“I don't understand... was that one long song?”

Was no bass intentional or circumstantial?
We sort of made the pact to play together a long time ago and it was instantly so easy to play and record we never even considered adding anyone else to the mix. We recorded our latest LP in under 3 days and I doubt that could have been done if there was another personality involved.

Do White Stripes comparisons make you angry?
They make us puke blood. In a way it's a great filter for us because we get reviews and comments that elude to to those guys and we know right away that we are dealing with people that aren't music fans and haven't done their homework. We love the the White Stripes but we definitely do not want to be them.

How are you managing being bi-coastal?
Occasionally it's a roller coaster but when we get together it makes the whole experience that much more exciting. We can usually write and record an album in about 5 days and rehearsals are really easy because it's only the 2 of us bouncing ideas off each other. The whole process is really organic and that makes it possible for us to meet somewhere and tour in the middle of the country after being apart for months. Which is pretty much our favorite thing to do.

What is 307 Knox?
307 Knoxs is a DIY record label out of Durham NC. It's our “family in the south” that pays for the stuff we can't afford like our record and everything that comes along with that. They are an amazing label that thrives on the excitement of helping bands that they love, grow. We still have total ownership of our records and they allowed us to remain part of the Ace Fu Family Business Collective in NYC. It has been an awesome experience being part of their mission.

How do you write songs?
We usually get together and just start making noise. In the event that a potential song starts to take a “normal” structure, we step back and try to arrange the music so that it isn't so obvious. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. We rarely linger on a song. If it isn't working for us after 4 or 5 plays we ditch it and keep F-ing around. It's really organic and sort of funny. Lots of the instruments that Lisa uses on the songs just happen to be lying around the rehearsal space.

Tell me about the records that you play on stage?
The records came about after a tour we did we did with the Gay Blades. I can be pretty awkward on stage between songs and it felt ridiculous following James' wacky on stage persona with complete silence between the songs. Lisa found these records at her dad's house and they were sort of creepy. I to this day only know one of the records she plays, LBJ's inaugural speech, the others are a mystery. Sometimes I think it is sort of a a little joke she has with herself. She is always has this little smirk on her face and I think she does it to see the audiences reaction to the stuff she plays.

What kind of crowd do you appeal to?
Honestly I think we appeal to musicians and music critics. We started out being very creepy and abstract and sort of pulled the reigns in a little bit for our first LP that will be released this winter. We aren't a band that you hum along to or bop your head. It's more of a arms crossed brow furrowing head scratching experience.

Where was your best show? Worst?
Lisa may disagree but I think our best and worst show was in Tulsa OK this past October. It was during our 5th tour together. Lisa flew from NYC to LA and then drove with me to Tulsa to begin our tour with Jucifer. It was a VFW show which historically have been pretty horrific for us and when we got there the promoter told us we would be going on after Jucifer. The show ran three hours late and so we spent 6 hours hanging out with Tulsa's greatest living war heroes in the VFW bar. That night we watched Jucifer in an empty hall the size of Irving Plaza. They played for us the sound guy and maybe 2 other people who I think were passed out drunk and most likely served in the Korean war. But Jucifer put on such an awesome show it was incredible thing to watch and really intimidating. We played after them with all of their equipment still on stage because we didn't want them to have to break it down for us. The lights were up and it was Just Ed, Amber, and Brent (their roadie) in the audience. That night was a really inspiring and at the same time a real head check for us. The rest of the tour with them was great but that show left an indelible mark on us (I think) and crystallized for us what it is to really play music because you love it.
