FRIENDS at Lee’s Palace (529 Bloor West), Friday (June 15), 11 pm. $12 or NXNE wristband. nxne.com. See listing.
Friends are an effortlessly cool New York City band, fronted by an impossibly hip chick, making sunny music and hazy visuals so reminiscent of your best days ever, it’s hard to fault them.
On singalong single I’m His Girl, Samantha Urbani breathily sasses, “When you see me walking around with him, I’m not just another chick.” Feel you, girl.
Friends are on the cusp of releasing a full-length that’ll expand on the sultry bass lines, tropical embellishments and jangly Jezebel power hooks of their small but super-heady output.
