The Chapin Sisters || Listen

The Chapin Sisters stand onstage at Tangier in Los Feliz, each in a shimmering gold dress that calls to mind Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. Jessica, the oldest, is in a mini dress; Abigail’s empire-waisted gown goes down to her ankles; and Lily, the youngest, wears a long, gold knife-pleated skirt and sleeveless top in gold-and-black brocade. They kick off their set with a three-part harmony version of Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” In their confident, skilled voices, the song’s question sounds almost like a challenge. When they sing the song “I Don’t Love You,” it’s neither eat your heart out, or crying over you — it puts the power, and the intended’s heart, firmly in the hands of the woman. “Girlfriend” has all the venom of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” but the Chapin Sisters coat their message in the butter cream of their melodies. - LA Weekly
