In advance of next month's Beachland concert, Best Coast singer talks about surviving difficult times
Nearly two years ago, indie rockers Best Coast hit the road in support of their latest album,“We felt frustrated and disappointed,” says singer-guitarist Bethany Cosentino via phone from her Los Angeles home. As part of a resumed tour in support of the album, the group performs with Rosie Tucker at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20, at the Beachland Ballroom. “We had been out on tour for two weeks. We were having great shows and were really excited about everything.
She penned the album’s first song, the hard rocking “Everything Has Changed,” in a closet, but she says that’s not so unusual since she regularly writes in “odd places.” The song's propelled by a thick guitar riff that pushes Cosentino into the rousing chorus. “At the time, I was struggling with getting a completed song out of me, and I needed help,” Cosentino says. “It’s difficult for me to ask for help. I have a hard time looking at someone and asking for help. I’m getting better at it, for sure. At that point, I had never written with anybody else. Bobb [Bruno] and I collaborate, but I was feeling that I needed help. I asked him if he wanted to take a stab at writing some music that he could send to me and see what comes of it.
Since it seemed odd to hit the road in support of an album that’s now almost two years old, the group revisited the LP and will release a deluxe edition in the new year.
