Brooklyn alt-poppers Friends are set to play a local show at New York’s Glasslands on Saturday (31 August), with Greatest Hits and Haribou in support. Also on the bill is a rare reunion for 00′s London art-punks Test Icicles.
Well, we say “reunion”, it’s actually a DJ set featuring only two thirds of the original trio, Sam Mehran and Samantha Urbani’s beau (plus Blood Orange/Lightspeed Champion man), Dev Hynes. Still pretty exciting nonetheless, though.
Tickets for the show are on sale here. Listen to Friends’ recent Prince-tinged number ‘My Way’ below:
