MP3 of the Week: Bodega Girls, "We Are Losers"

If you’re familiar with BODEGA GIRLS’ balls-out booty attack, the details of “We Are Losers” won’t surprise — chunky electro-kickdrums, squiggle-vision synths, and gang vocals figure heavily in this track’s game plan. But the secret weapon is the alchemy they exhibit on the chorus, which is lifted from either the Violent Femmes or, better yet, Ready for the World’s ’85 jheri-curl jam “Oh Sheila.” Or maybe both — in which case, Bodega Girls may be true visionaries. This song dropped online through RCRD LBL this week, and the crew celebrate its release on Saturday at the Middle East downstairs, opening for Kid Sister. (They’ll also have their monthly throwdown, Cool Ranch, at Middlesex Lounge June 30). Come prepared, and pick up the MP3 of “We Are Losers” below.
