[edit] History
The Virgins were formed after a Ryan McGinley photo shoot brought together Donald Cummings and Wade Oates to work on tracks Cummings had begun. The two other members joined shortly after. The Virgins have gained popularity recently due to the CW show Gossip Girl featuring five of their songs in one episode[1] and recent participation in SXSW.[2]
