The Besties - The Gothenburg Handshake

The Besties were an American indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York. Their sound can best be described indie pop or "twee", although at shows they were known to introduce themselves as a punk band. TimeOut Chicago describes the band as sounding like "the Go-Go's on Epitaph Records", and Allmusic compares them to Cub and the All Girl Summer Fun Band

The Besties were formed when members Marisa Bergquist, Kelly Waldrop, and Rikky Walsh met while attending college in Tallahassee, Florida. Their first album, Singer, was released by Skipping Stones Records in 2006. Drum machines were used in the recording of this record because the band did not yet have a drummer. To fill this need, Frank E. Korn joined the band prior to the recording of their second album, Home Free, which was released in February 2009 on the Hugpatch label.

THE BESTIES from New York (well, they're from Florida originally) will also play at Landet on the 20th of July!
Marisa, Kelly, Frank and Rikky know very well how to make us say words like "bubblegum", "sweet", "adorable" but also "awesome" when we've had a listen. And those male backing vocals balances it all up perfectly.
I guess you've already figured out that I have a thing for girls that are keyboard geeks. And make great pop songs using those. I'll get two shows like that at Landet! I'm SO in luck.
The Besties in Sweden to hang out and to play some songs for us, first at Landet, then at Emmaboda and possibly in Gothenburg, too! After that, they're off to take on Britain. I'm very glad they'll make a first stop at Cosy Den!
