Rhythm Room
Tuesday, February 8, 2011
So it was -- a waif, diminutive indie chanteuse and her prim, penny-loafer adorned husband took to the stage last night. The local crowd came out in impressive numbers for a Tuesday night in February. People were dancing, nodding their heads in appreciation of the laid-back, effervescent music. And it was good.
That would be Best Coast.
Oh, the comparisons run deep between both bands -- female lead singer who is the face of the band, male cohorts to round things out, songs inspired by the sea. Hell, Best Coast even played the Rhythm Room on a Tuesday night this past November.
That being said: Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino is no Alaina Moore. Thank God for that.
I was put under a spell by Moore's irresistible charm for the night, but who the hell wasn't?
