Since the release of their self-titled debut album last year, The Virgins have continued to carry along their party in a bar to all who are willing to listen.

Mastering a sound that earned the group consideration as MTV UK’s “Best New Artists of 2009″, led them along the tour path with the Black Keys and Band of Horse and showcased them on Conan O’Brien, are just a few of the reasons they jumped out to us. Ironically, exactly a year ago today we showcased “Rich Girls” as one of our Songs of the Week – four months before the album released.

Donald Cumming (vocals), Nick Zarin-Ackerman (bass), Wade Oates (guitar) and Erik Ratensperger (drums) compose the New York brethren which have most recently played acoustic sets for Philadelphia’s WRFF and Boston WERS. On Friday the band will be playing a free show at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square, New York City. The video for their session at the Shockhound Studio is below.
