If Virgins frontman Donald Cumming looks familiar, it may be because you've seen his bits 'n pieces gracing the walls of the Whitney, as part of friend/photographer Ryan McGinley's The Kids Are Alright series. Spawned from a meeting-of-the-models in the fantasyland of McGinley's photographs, the Virgins have been recording and performing together for just over a year, but in that time they've already opened for the likes of Sonic Youth and Patti Smith. Aside from the band's connectedness, its success can be attributed to undeniable talent, a gritty, catchy sound, and poetic lyrics inspired by the LES' streets, sex, and drugs.
