Virgin Suicide may or not be named after Jeffrey Eugenides' novel of the (almost) same name, we are not sure, but what we can say is that their style resembles that tale of teenage woe. This Danish band are a sickly sweet dose of raw adolescent romance and, no matter what age you are, there's something nostalgic and beautiful about first loves and loves lost. Supported by Thin City on the evening.
