Austinist Show Preview: Best Fwends at Emo's

bf.jpgBest Fwends generate energetic bursts of post-punk mayhem complemented heavily by assorted electronic output as well as random keyboard and video game noises, among other things. The band’s sometimes annoying but often catchy everything but the kitchen sink sound can be found on their album, Alphabetically Arranged, available for purchase at pure groove.

The band states the album "contains some of the best and worst songs we've made over the past four years" while their label (Moshi Moshi Records) website reports Best Fwends "have already toured on the "don't need a stage" circuit in the style of bands like Lightening Bolt and Coachwhips - performing in their underpants with taped up faces and ipod backing tracks." The band was recently featured on Paper Thin Walls but we’ll let you decide if it’s substance or crap. Be a part of the madness Saturday evening at Emo’s (Lounge.) The Show Is The Rainbow and Pataphysics open.

Seen Best Fwends 2 or 3 times now. Neither substance nor crap. Either you're up for it or you're not. In that way kinda like very early Buttholes.

 

That's how I feel about Finally Punk. ...does anyone still give a shit about Finally Punk or are they over?

 

I believe one of the Finally Punk girls moved out to Cali. Not sure if they're going to carry on, but last I heard, one of the other girls (in the Carrots) is going to take over lead guitar duties in the Carrots so at least that band will keep a-going!
