SHOW PREVIEW: Best Coast
No one does poppy, California-doused indie rock quite like Best Coast. Fronted by the tatted-up, tousle-haired Bethany Cosentino, Best Coast earned a whole new wave of fans after sophomore album The Only Place was released last May. The album sort of encapsulates the Best Coast vibe: open, honest songs about relationships, catchy, jangly-pop hooks, and an onslaught of never-ending ‘I-love-you’s’ to California, the only place worth living in Cosentino’s opinion.
Founded in 2009 by Cosentino and friend Bobb Bruno, the band released their surf rock, lo-fi side, debut album Crazy for You the following year to rave reviews from critics. It even gained a few famous fans, with actress Drew Barrymore directing a star-studded music video for track “Our Deal.” Since then, the hype for the band has only been growing.
Get your lo-fi fix when Best Coast comes to the club on June 4!
