In preparation for CMJ (yeah, I stumbled upon free badge & lodging - thanks WMUA) I've been scouting shows, finding shows with bunches of bands I'd like to see and then surfin the net finding out about the bands playing those shows that I have not heard before.
Coasting is one of those bands. They're playing the CMJ-unofficial Group Tightener showcase Wednesday evening at Monster Island Basement alongside Best Coast, Alex Bleeker & the Freaks, Fluffy Lumbers (w/ Byrds of Paradise's Kenny Brown filling in), Highlife and Ducktails.
Coasting is Fiona + Madison, a guitar/vocals duo who seem to have three songs to their name, though they admit that they "have to write more songs." The two craft some surfy sort of sounds, but this is not necessarily your Corona commercial beach shit - this is huge waves rolling in from some far-off tropical depression, about to smash some quaint straw huts. Impose posted up their track "Coasting" yesterday (along with that semi-incognito photo up there), so check that out HERE, then coast down the page a bit and check out another jam "Kids," then cruise to their Myspace to peep one more, then head to the Group Tightener showcase Wednesday.

how about we let them write more songs and then judge if they are good or not, this is crazy how a band is this great even before they have proven themselves in anyway...sometimes you bloggers are more of a problem then a solution.
for the record, i never said whether i thought they were "good" or not.
and i certainly made it clear that my opinion, whatever it may be, is strictly based on those three songs.
also i did not say they were "great." and of course they haven't "proven themselves." they just started the band a couple weeks ago and havent played a show yet.
also what do they have to prove anyway?
also whats wrong with basing an opinion on a handful of songs? it's not to say the opinion won't change once a "proper release" is heard, ie: tons of bands
you just wait buddy....
i would think three songs are a pretty good indicator of where a band might go...how good they are currently writing, etc.
nothing wrong with writing a post about one's opinions stating so on a blog. YOU GOT A PROBLEM GO READ ROLLING STONE!
