THROWBACK TO SUMMER VIBES IN 2011 -- THE "SUMMER IS FOREVER" TOUR/LINEUP.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a promotional concert poster design for lo-fi/indie/surf rock bands BEST COAST, WAVVES, & NO JOY, performing live at the Granada Theater in Wilmington, CA (L.A.) on the 24th of January 2011.
Unfortunately enough, I dont own any WAVVES on hard copy, but I've been a huge BC fan for years now, and I own pretty much everything they've ever released on CD format. Love them to bits!

"THE RECORD THAT WE MADE – THE SOUND, THE AESTHETIC, EVERYTHING – WAS SONICALLY BASED OFF OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAD."
PIC(S) INFO: SXSW Music Festival -- Day 2: Spotlight on singer/guitarist/songwriter Bethany Cosentino of BEST COAST posing for a portrait backstage at Levi's Fader Fort as part of SXSW 2010 on March 18, 2010 in Austin, Texas, plus a shot of she and Bobb Bruno playing Fader Fort on the same date. 📸: Roger Kisby.
"The first BEST COAST record was recorded in two weeks. We worked with this producer Lewis Pesacov, who we knew in LA, and we recorded it in a studio space that was in a practice space in LA, which is now, I believe, being torn down to put high-rise apartments or some shit. But we literally made it in two weeks. We did not have a lot of money. We were not signed to a label. We just were like, “All right, we’re going to go in, we’re going to do this.”
Then we left for SXSW, and we were one of the big, hyped bands that year. The record that we made – the sound, the aesthetic, everything – was sonically based off of the resources that we had. Part of it was intentional because we were trying to replicate a sound that we liked, and we were huge fans of Phil Spector – Phil Spector’s music, not horrid Phil Spector [the person]. So when the record became as successful as it did, nobody expected that. None of us. I don’t even think our label expected that. I think Mexican Summer was, and they were such a good label, because they were boutique. It wasn’t like signing my life over to a major label that was going to do the thing that I worried about when I was 16."
