SOUND | Best Coast x 'Always Tomorrow' x Venue Nightclub

Granville—(March 3, 2020) California indie rock duo Best Coast, made of up of the unlikely but endearing pairing of members Bethany Costenino and Bobb Bruno, came back to town after a five-year headling absence—Costenino noted on stage they'd returned to Vancouver in between to open for both The Pixies and The Go-Go's—to play Venue Nightclub touring in support of their brand new fourth album (and first in five years), the dreamy and self-referential Always Tomorrow.



The decidedly mellow but still excited crowd mirrored the band's growth including Costenino's sobriety with a chill hangout vibe as the band played a varied selection of their old favourites and new material.



Dressed in a basic blazer and bike shorts, frontwoman Costenino worked the audience on this Super Tuesday with her easy charm while the notoriously elusive Bruno's thick locks waved in the air all night.



Setlist:

• "California Nights" / "Different Light"
• "Wreckage" / "The Only Place"
• "Crazy for You" / "For the First Time"
• "Goodbye" / "Seeing Red"
• "Everything Has Changed" / "No One Like You"
• "Our Deal" / "Rollercoaster"
• "Make It Last" / "Feeling OK"
• "Graceless Kids" / "Used to Be"
• Encore: "When I’m with You" / "Boyfriend"

Best Coast's appeal rests on their dreamy west coast sound and the musical evocation of Californian imagery. There's just something so simultaneously easygoing and inviting about their brand of surf rock.
