The chemistry was undeniable, and a strong bond was instantly formed. But in the tough, small world of Hollywood, they found it difficult to get their music placed. They moved into an apartment together, and struggled to make ends meet. They ended up getting evicted from the apartment because they could not afford it and then decided to combine their talents to form the group My Crazy Girlfriend. “It was effortless, and a bit of a no-brainer” says Cosmo, “We weren’t sure why we didn’t think of it sooner”. They eventually signed with Capitol Records in August 2013〔http://www.directlyrics.com/interview-with-my-crazy-girlfriend-on-beginnings-debut-album-tour-with-little-mix-news.html〕 and released a promotional viral song, Go F * *K Yourself.

The group parted ways with Capitol in 2015 and is presently putting together an EP and a package that truly represents them. “We never have really gotten the chance to show the world who WE are, musically or aesthetically. We are anxious to release our new package and introduce the authentic and unaltered MY CRAZY GIRLFRIEND”. - says Myah of the groups current status. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Crazy Girlfriend」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
