- Frequenze news - “ESG-style polyrhythmic post-disco on a tropical-pop trip” – Stereogum “If there is to be one more band (from Brooklyn) then it should definitely be Friends” – Dazed and Confused Classica recensione da blog per una band dalla carriera lunga un singolo. Situazione che generalmente noi di Frequenze cerchiamo di evitare se non in circostanze particolari. Cioè quando un buon singolo è sostenuto da un [...]
![REAL ESTATE, CHAIRLIFT, CLOUD NOTHINGS [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4007374_lg.jpg)

After a recent opening gig for with Girls , Real Estate is playing a $5 show near their home across the Hudson in Jersey, both Chairlift and Cloud Nothings are both playing in support of their new records (not the same place/time), and, among other things, Antony and the Johnsons is hitting the stage at Radio City Music Hall. Thanks [...]
Brooklyn’s Friends caught our attention in 2011 with the effortlessly cool, hyper-catchy girl-group sass of “I’m His Girl,” and, in a recent session with BBC’s Radio 1, they proved they’re not a one-trick pony with super-sexy synth-pop jam “A Thing Like This.” Continue reading: Check Out: Friends Read more articles like " Check Out: Friends " on PMA | Pretty Much Amazing .

She’s not really rapping on any of these songs, but she still has this sort of “hood rich” attitude about her vocals. She’s definitely singing aplenty, but not in that cutesy, teen pop way (like Britney) or in that grungy, indie way (like Bethany). In fact, it’s safe to say it’s somewhere right in between. Whatever it is she’s doing, she’s having a good time doing it. She is Samantha Urbani, the singer-songwriter who “moves around and touches people,” of the Brooklyn group Friends . For the front woman of a band, Urbani is somewhat vague and mysterious when [...]
Posted in Play-This-List Friends have produced one of my favorite songs of the year, 'I'm His Girl' is a throwback jam calling out independence in relationship, along with a bassline that will seep into your soul. Signed to Lucky Number (home to our other fun pop go-to Darwin Deez), Friends are a refreshing addition to any music library [...]

Photos by Erez Avissar [MP3] Friends Friend Crush Friends has been incubating in the buzzosphere during 2k11, but due to a forgettable name and a generic 'we're from Brooklyn' buzz aesthetic, I chose to ignore them. However, after a closer inspection, it seems clear that they are the destined for such buzzworthy heights. The song 'Friend Crush' has lofi appeal, mnstrm appeal, cutesy female appeal, and buzz appeal. The song makes u yearn for a dark friendship [...]

Grata sorpresa la que me he llevado esta mañana con el facebook de Tensnake (ya te recomendé en su día que echases un vistazo a su twitter o facebook porque siempre recomienda buena mierda) gracias a estos "amigos", que van a estallar de lo modernos que son, pero que han conseguido un hitazo de los de llegar y besar el santo y es que este tema se me ha hecho irresistible con solo haberlo escuchado una vez.

Ansolutely cannot get enough of this song! Video directed by Aurora Halal and Samantha Urbani. Buy "I'm His Girl" on iTunes | Amazon

Given that, at the time of writing, there are only 4 copies of Friends’ “I’m His Girl” vinyl left, we thought we’d heighten the sense of pained anticipation that naturally precedes each post by waiting until now to tell you… you’ve really got to get hold of one of these. And we’re probably going to buy one, we’re sure you can handle the maths on that one. Since we last wrote about these men and women, the passionately reckless hyperbole being thrown the band’s way (a trend that we’d like to think we’re [...]

Check out their lead single called I'm His Girl . I'm His Girl by Friends [...]

friends - i'm his girl [there's something about samantha urbani and her posse of friends that just screams williamsburg hipster (and that's not necessarily a good thing), thank goodness they are capable of making catchy retro tom tom club-esque rap with a killer swagger hook throughout the track. for now, i'll let these guys slide under the cool category!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Friends are celebrating the release of their new single, 'I'm His Girl' (video below), with the announcement of some UK shows for February of next year. The Brooklyn band are set to play the following shows: Monday, February 6, 2012 – Manchester, Deaf Institute (presented by Now Wave) Tuesday, February 7, 2012 – London, The Lexington (presented by Live Nation)
Really feeling the Rapture vibe of this song from Brooklyn's Fronds Friends. Points for the mock classic Scorsese direction, gauzy background vocals and Samantha Urbani' s phrasing throughout the song in general. Stylish stuff:
Brooklyn-based band Friends just recently enjoyed a busy week of introducing themselves to a whole new audience at CMJ and is now taking off for a sixteen-date US and Canadian tour. Sadly, no tour stop planned for my city. Along with the tour announcement is the release of their video "I'm His Girl", which actually [...]
