Hey Girl Slow Down Hey Girl Slow Down emerged from Westchester, NY, forged by the camaraderie of Jake Goldin, Cory Haberman, and Steve Ranellone. Across Body Horror, Buy Your Own Toys, and Tumbling Down the Up Escalator, they embraced wide-ranging influences, tightened into faster drums and riffier riffs, and turned quarter-life-crisis dread into songs that are desolate, hilarious, and danceable all at once. This Bar Freda show marks the band’s first show in many years.
