Best Coast, Jeff the Brotherhood and Those Darlins
If she doesn’t wish they all could be California girls, Bethany Cosentino sure sounds happy to be one on “The Only Place,” her band’s second record and one of indie-rock’s sunniest albums of late, offering poppy traces of the Lemonheads. She’s touring with one of indie-rock’s buzzingest young bands, Jeff the Brotherhood, a Nashville-based garage-rock duo that just issued its Dan Auerbach-produced debut for Warner Bros. Tennessee girl-group punksters Those Darlins will add greatly to the triple-decked fun. Chris Riemenschneider
