Best Coast Daytrotter Session

Best Coast recorded a special Los Angeles located Daytrotter session Halloween weekend 2009. Roughly a year and a half later the songs have finally seen the day of light. The group played a six song set, which is slightly long for Daytrotter. You can download all of the tracks for free here. Check out "So Gone" below. The LA duo performed mostly songs from releases prior to their debut LP Crazy For You. A bit about the performance can be found below.

The session you're about to hear has some history to it. It's been hanging around the office for about a year and a half. Its genesis came on Halloween weekend in 2009, when Daytrotter made its only extracurricular trip to Los Angeles, California. We were brought out to the Hollywood Hills for a few days with the sole purpose of taping a session with living legend Kris Kristofferson and we figured that, while we were out there, why not rent out Elliott Smith's old studio in Van Nuys and make a weekend of it. We got out to the city on a night that featured a nasty wind storm that made landing in an airplane scary as hell and left huge branches and fronds of palm trees cross-hatching the side streets behind the studio and video store the following morning. Now, this would be conjecture on our part, but looking back at the timeline that Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno have followed over the last year and some change, it can be supposed that nothing too much had happened yet for the two founding members of this sunshine-y garage rock band. So much has changed since that Halloween - the fame, fortune, ubiquity with cats and pot -- and yet these six songs, recorded even before the band started to take off like one could ever have predicted, are incredible to listen to now, after all this time - all this time that really isn't that much, but it does feel like some kind of eternity.
