About

Best Coast – comprised of Bethany Cosentino (vocals, guitar) and Bobb Bruno (guitar) – has released three critically and culturally acclaimed albums over the last decade while touring the globe, selling out headline shows, and opening for the likes of Green Day, Paramore, Pixies, Death Cab For Cutie, and more. Now they've returned with an incredible new song, entitled "For The First Time." Says Cosentino about the track, "It's about feeling comfortable in your own skin and looking at the skin you had to shed to get there and being OK with it all." It is the initial taste of the forthcoming Best Coast album, Always Tomorrow, which is due for release in 2020.

    Solid performance by both bands. Wavves was very energetic and true to their sound but aren't very melodic. Best Coast played well though the lead guitar was mixed too quietly and their set fell into the same dragging tempo and mood.

    no encore?

    by kram14610 on 2/7/11Webster Hall - New York

    For the price I paid, I was legitimately disappointed and even upset when they didn't play an encore, especially because it was a co-headlining tour--they should have played together!

    Wavves brought a lot of great energy, and Best Coast finished off the night with a more relaxed and mellow set.

    Best Coast / Wavves

    by DakotaLopez on 2/5/11Webster Hall - New York

    Went to see Best Coast, Wavves, and No Joy on Wednesday. No Joy was really... interesting. Near the end it seemed as if the whole band suddenly experienced brain damage and was crawling on the floor for different reasons... Wavves sounded great! My only complaint was the moshing. I find it incredibly hard to enjoy the music when the weight of ten people is pushing you into more people. I would have enjoyed this a little (lot) more if it was 18+, because we all know the ones who start the mosh pits are the kids. Best Coast. This is the second time I've seen Best Coast. I love their sound, and you feel all that West Coast beach culture thrown out to you as Bethany sings. So great. Worth every penny and more. Oh yeah, and the security guard falsely accused me of smoking, and asked where the pipe was. Mad lame, I lost my position in the front.

    Wavves were awesome! I had gone to the concert to see Best Coast but I was REALLY impressed with them! Seriously- the crowd was going crazy. They rocked. Best Coast was also really great. They sounded a little more 'stripped down' then they do on their album and I really enjoyed this.

    more like boring coast...

    by minimogul on 2/4/11Webster Hall - New York

    ok, lemme start by saying that i love the best coast record, but despite this, i was super disappointed after seeing them live. i skipped wavves, as i'm not a fan, and now in retrospect, i kinda wish i skipped the show altogether. bethany's cute and has crafted some great retro-sounding gems on the album, but live, they were just terrible. the drummer makes meg white seem like john bonham by comparison, bobb ain't much to look at but he can at least play his instrument, and bethany...oh, bethany...again, easy on the eyes...great voice (live the overall sound reminded me of courtney love fronting throwing muses) , but it literally seemed like she picked up the guitar a few weeks ago. after about 15 minutes, every song sounded exactly the same as the last...boring...sloppy...sleepy. you could feel the crowd just progressively lose interest and i actually wound up leaving before the set was over, as i just couldn't really deal with it any more. this is the 2nd time in as many months that i've been severely disappointed seeing a band LIVE that i really dig on record (i'm looking at you Freelance Whales...). what a bummer.

    Mixed; loved Wavves, Best Coast - not so much

    by RU848789 on 2/4/11Webster Hall - New York

    Wavves rocked. Very tight and focused. Loved the new songs and glad they didn't play that lame duet with Bethany from Best Coast. Love Best Coast's album, but live they were mediocre at best. Singer's voice just didn't cut it - either she was having a bad day, a cold or maybe there were lots of studio tricks; also missed the background vocals that are on the album. No Joy. Good name - they seemed joyless. Music has some possibilities, but they need to turn down the guitar distortion and turn up the vocals to make it at least a little accessible - even Sonic Youth knew that early on...

    Good Time Night!!

    by jameyd0g on 11/5/10Bluebird Theater - Denver

    Had an enjoyable evening with Sonny and the Sunsets and Best Coast. I was not disappointed!! I love Sonny and the Sunsets, they play kind of a retro Beach Boy sound with a modern flair. Death Cream will always be my favorite song that they play. Best Coast. They were good but my main criticism of them is they sound like a lot of bands I have heard. They remind me of one of my favorite bands of old - Lone Justice. They have that Southern California sound but I will suggest that they find their own sound and then they will stick out more as being original. I liked the warm up band better than the main band due to the uniqueness of the Sonny And the Sunsets sound. It was a fun night, enjoyed by all!!
