Best Coast Reviews, Interviews & More
It's seems like just yesterday when Justin Timberlake was taking a break from music to focus on his film career, doesn't it? His comeback, which he announced last month, is all we hear about these days. This week, the internet went crazy when news dropped that he would be performing at the Grammy's. And that's not all he's planning. Also, Ke$ha is getting her own reality series on MTV. And...
There's no better way to say 'happy first weekend of the new year' then getting out and seeing some shows - or at least that's what we'd like to think. Trios and duos abound; experimental, electronic, and rocking-out sorts. Catching up with old favorites and new names the hands-on, in-venue approach way is the preferred, most effective method. To a year of fresh and exciting new music, we say......
Friday may have been Phriday for all the Phish fans, there was plenty going on at golden gate park for everyone that wasn't into watching a 4 hour marathon set. While we stopped and enjoyed the hippie jam masters at work we couldn't just limit our evening to just one group.
While the weather does its fickle thing and wanders around somewhere between severe humidity and thunder-and-lightning storm as it tends to do this part of the summer, we suggest going the way of the middle ground and choosing an activity that will keep you centered, mellow, and in a venue that has central A/C. Of course our picks for the weekend are all over the place, nothing new there - from...
Umbrellas, ladders, black cats, oh my! Don't let Friday the 13th get you down; show it who's boss by going the way of a smile on your face and groove in your step - something we're pretty sure one of our select picks for you this weekend will inspire and encourage. Don't be hasty; check them out below:
We just gave you some fun Mp3s to throw on your iPod but if the rest of the week seems a lot longer to you, don't worry we've got your eyes covered too. We've got some great videos for you after the jump to keep you entertained at home, at your day job (secretly), on the commute home and everything else that may cause boredom. M.I.A., Belle & Sebastian, Best Coast and more after the jump!
It may only be Wednesday but we've got a roundup of some great tunes that you can download for free to make the rest of the week go by much quicker. It's beginning to feel a lot more like summer and you definitely need to beef those iPod playlists up for parties and road trips. We point you in the right direction for new tracks from Kid Cudi, Best Coast, Vampire Weekend, Jenny and Johnny,...
Best Coast (Bethany Consentino + Bobb Bruno) finally have an official video for their hit track, "When I'm With You." Instead of some old 50s footage many have gotten used to seeing paired up with the song, the new video sports some unlikely team-ups. For instance, it opens up with the waves crashing against the sandy shore as we hear those familiar Consentino's introductory...
Aquarium Drunkard's annual WAVED OUT event returned to The Echo and The Echoplex this past weekend and with a killer lineup, BeatCrave made sure to get over there and soak in all the musical talent both stages would be overflowing with. Of course, we weren't the only ones there; both venues continued to pack in more music fiends like us late into the night. For a measly $12,...
We’ve picked out favorite artists of the week. Now it’s your turn to pick yours!
Is your favorite the surf rock band (who don't actually surf), Surfer Blood (listen here)? Is it the new surf pop team between Bethany Consentino and Bobb Bruno for Best Coast (listen here)? Is it folk singer A.A. Bondy who has sweetly stolen our hearts (listen...
East coast, West coast, can't we just get along? According to Bethany Cosentino - California native and vocal anchor of Best Coast - the warmth of California is where it's at. Sure, she had a brief residential stint in New York, at a time of year where is 30 degrees vs. 75, we have to agree. In fact, any indicators of her opinion on what she considers to be the best coast...
Last Sunday, all the hipsters who couldn't care less about the Super Bowl headed on over to Los Angeles' art gallery and performance venue, The Strange, for a very good cause. Starting at noon, bands such as Abe Vigoda, Darker My Love, No Age, Nodzzzz, Best Coast and Vivian Girls came to the charming location to help raise money for a dear friend's mom who needed the funds due to cancer.
We have five reasons for you to get out off the couch this weekend for reasons other than spontaneously yelling "TOUCHDOWN!" or running to the kitchen for chips and beer. Check out our concert picks below:
Those Darlins | Friday, February 5 | 8:00 pm | 18+ | $13 | Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY - Map | Country rock never sounded so edgy, so sixties, so fresh. No doubt about...
There is no doubt that 2009 has been a great year for music. We've had fun listening and sharing some of these artists with you through our BeatCrave Fav series, and we've also compiled a Top Albums of 2009 list like everyone else.
Today, we're going to skip ahead and focus on the future and what great music will be coming our way in 2010. January is only a few weeks away and we want to fill...
