Best Coast and Wavves
Monday, January 31, 9:30 Club ($20), doors at 6:30 p.m.

Best Coast and Wavves are two groups that received a lot of attention in 2010 for both their stage antics and lo-fi indie rock. Both groups released albums that were on numerous year end best-of lists. Best Coast performed at Bulldog Alley this fall as the headliner for WGTB’s fall concert. Be prepared for ridiculous amounts of stage banter about California, cats, and Four Loko.
