Emerging from the rooftops of Chicago in 2007, Netherfriends are that bastard-psych-pop-catchy as hell band that you've been searching for. Their debut 7-inch, Feathers and Dots (Black and Greene Records), fuses heavily layered arrangements with group sing-a-longs, spare pianos, synths, glockenspiels and other hard to place, but familiar sounds. The three-piece psychedelic pop band met via craigslist and grabbed some early spark and attention from places like Blender and RCRD LBL. Netherfriends features Shawn Rosenblatt (vocals, guitar, piano), Paul Newmann (no not that Paul Newman..drums) and Angie Kang (synth, backup vocals).
Having shared the stage with label-mates Drug Rug, and Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears, not to mention other great acts like We Are Wolves, Division Day, and A-Sides, Netherfriends' live show is a percussive explosion of delightful and raw melodies. And now, with school out for the summer, Netherfriends will be shifting their tour van into high gear up and down the East Coast.
