The Best Band You've Never Heard Of


We Are Good Friends. Yep, that's the band name. They're from LA/Oklahoma City and man do they make great folkish experimental music. The band features Dustin Sanchez and Mickey Reese (El Paso Hot Button), but I'm pretty sure their live group is expanded to include several members. I picked up their self-titled debut at an El Paso Hot Button show last May and I'm convinced it's the best $5 I've ever spent. Imagine Flaming Lips meets Neil Young meets Bright Eyes. It's great.

We Are Good Friends -- The Hole Inside the House
We Are Good Friends -- Simon Killed Garfunkel
We Are Good Friends -- Malcolm X vs. The Lochness Monster
We Are Good Friends -- Long Live Magdelena
