The Virgins


The Virgins are an American indie rock band consisting of five members: Erik Ratensperger, Donald Cumming, Wade Oates, Nick Zarin-Ackerman and Paul Vassallo. They were originally from New York City, they formed in 2005 based in New York City, New York. They have toured with Jet and opened for Sonic Youth and Patti Smith and played at the All Points West Festival in 2008.
The Virgins were formed after a Ryan McGinley photo shoot brought together Donald Cumming and Wade Oates to work on tracks Cumming had begun. The two other members joined shortly after; Erik Ratensperger, and Nick Ackerman. Their song "Rich Girl" is the generic of the Gossip Girl series.
