“Rich Girl” now has a video.

The Virgins are New York City’s next official homeboys. Gone are the days where you saw little humble performances at Piano’s or quaint friends & family style shows at Thompkins Square Park on a sticky summer day. Ahhh, the good ‘ol days. The secret got out when the TV show Gossip Girl played 4 songs (yes 4 songs) in one episode. The placement launched furious chatboard threads on YouTube with cute young chicks begging to know — “who the hell are these guys!?”

About 2 weeks ago, Kai dragged the band to Lit in the East Village to shoot their video for “Rich Girl”, a local sing-a-long anthem of downtown New York for over a year now — due to their EP sold at the early shows. The sultry siren protagonist, Behati, acts out the narrative, short and sweet — wild girl corrupts boys in a bar. These are sneak peek pics before the video drops later this summer.

The Virgins are off to the races — finally on the big tour to promote their first body of work released on Atlantic Records this June 3rd. We wish them the best. Go forth and kick ass.
