Timeless within the trend: The WEATHER GIRLS are a constant hit, considering Dance, Pop and Soul rhythms. For more than 20 years and with varying line-ups over the years, the spirited ladies perform on stage and entertain their fans with their powerful voices, good spirit and good vibes.
Who doesn’t know „It’s Raining Men“ or „Can U Feel It“, the titles, that have reached top chart positions worldwide in the past two centuries and which became probably the most popular party hymns ever. For many years good parties cannot be imagined without these songs. The WEATHER GIRLS inspire people who are young or young at heart as well as „trendy“ and „normal“ people. These ladies are simply a „Cult“!
Quickly some short facts about the history of the WEATHER GIRLS: Founded as „Two Tons Of Fun“, what they called themselves in the 70s, the duo consisted of Izora Armstead and Martha Wash. When recording „It’s Raining Men“ and renaming the duo in „Weather Girls“, a worldwide career began in the early 80s.
As Martha Wash decided to start a solo career in the late 80s and the WEATHER GIRLS were only known as a duo, Izora Armstead came up with the idea to found a family business: „My mom called and asked me, if I would like to sing together with her“, Dynelle Rhodes remembers. „At first I thought, she wanted to put me on, but she said breezily: ´I’m in the studio working on a new record and you have to decide immediately.´ I quit my job and moved to New York together with my son Anthony.“
The debut family album „Double Tons Of Fun“ became a big success, as well as the hit single „Can U Feel It“ and the WEATHER GIRLS, now mother and daughter, continued their successful story.
A new studio album of the WEATHER GIRLS will be released and after „Puttin’ On The Hits“ the motto is: „Nomen est Omen“: TOTALLY WILD! Headed by the single „Wild Thang“, an extremely danceable uptempo disco tune of the finest Hi-NRG sound style was made. It was recorded in the “Coconut Studios” in Hennef (Germany) for the in-house label and is a choicest collage out of danceable disco hits and soulful vocal trax, in which the WEATHER GIRLS are showing, what great voices they have.
Besides many new compositions, TOTALLY WILD also contains a fabulous collection of the best disco hit cover songs. With the re-recording of the hit „Can U Feel It“ as well as with their interpretations of, for example, „Born To Be Alive“, „Don’t Leave Me This Way“ or „Muscles“, the WEATHER GIRLS prove, that they still are an inherent part of the scene: powerful, dynamic and wild: TOTALLY WILD!
