Looks like the girls of summer are gearing up for a long tour. There are quite a few "To Be Announce" dates, which means they are looking to book a venue. Some of the places I've read are basements of someone's home, so if you have a place for them, I'm sure they're more than happy to play for beer.
Best Friends Forever are a DIY/indiepop group from Minnesota. I believe they are real-life best friends, Bri and Jes, and if you've met them, you're likely to get jealous of how good friends they are. It makes you wonder why don't you have BBF.
Their latest album is called Romance Conflict Adventure, if you can call it an album. It's barely nine tracks, and it's almost 30 minutes. The songs are short and sweet and here are my absolute favorites off their album:
"24" - "it's good, it's great, it's really really great" would best sum up this gobful of lyrics of a song. The song, more or less, is about growing up (the singer turned 24 years old in this song). I suspect that's probably not far off from her true age. I love the line, "You are the man for me, but I'm not sure if I'm your kind of girl.".
"Handpocket" - this is a fun song. About being comfortable with someone enough to ask them to "put your hand in my backpocket". There's a humorous story about the day Jes (?) almost died, falling in the water when she went ice fishing with her dad. By the way, the artwork I use here is by me.
"Tour Magic". What a great Summer song. This song encapsulate all their feeling of being on tour and finding, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven new friends. Two weeks are just not enough.
"Disaster Song", possibly my current favorite song off this album. It's not a song that you'd like right away, but the more you listen to it, the more you're going to start singing along. Especially on the background part, you'll know what I'm talking about when you hear the song.
If you like some of these songs, you can pick up the 2007 album Romance Conflict Adventure from Plan-it-x, or better yet, find them in tour.
