The Beautiful Girls is an Australian band, predominantly playing roots music. They have released one EP, Morning Sun, and three full length albums, Learn Yourself, We're Already Gone and Ziggurats. This electric harmony of rock, reggae, pop and folk has drawn comparisons with Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Mason Jennings and more recently The Police. The group have toured and supported with many notable bands including Rogerthat, The Cat Empire and with Powderfinger and Silverchair on their Across the Great Divide tour. They are opening for State Radio during their US tour. They played at Dusty Days on March 15, 2008 in Wagga Wagga, NSW.
